contents Millimeter wave (mmWave)-enabled unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm networks (UAVSNs) can utilize a large spectrum of resources to provide low latency and high data transmission rate. Additionally, owing to the short wavelength, UAVs equipped with large antenna arrays can form secure narrow directive beam to establish communication with less interference. However, due to the high UAV mobility, limited beam coverage, beam misalignment, and high path loss, it is very challenging to adopt the mmWave communication in UAVSNs. In this article, we present a comprehensive survey on neighbor discovery and beam alignment techniques for directional communication in mmWave-enabled UAVSNs. The existing techniques are reviewed and compared with each other. We also discuss key open issues and challenges with potential research direction.
