contents To overcome the challenges of ultra-low latency, ubiquitous coverage, and soaring data rates, this article presents a combined use of Near Field Communication (NFC) and Reconfigurable Holographic Surfaces (RHS) for Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN). A system architecture has been presented, which shows that the integration of RHS with NTN platforms such as satellites, High Altitute Platform Stations (HAPS), and Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAV) can achieve precise beamforming and intelligent wavefront control in near-field regions, enhancing Energy Efficiency (EE), spectral utilization, and spatial resolution. Moreover, key applications, challenges, and future directions have been identified to fully adopt this integration. In addition, a use case analysis has been presented to improve the EE of the system in a public safety use case scenario, further strengthening the UAV-RHS fusion.
