One of the main challenges in the real-world adoption of multi-Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems lies in the specification of operations and the management of dynamic tasks in varied operational contexts. In this paper, we propose a multi-UAV planning architecture to reduce the level of specialized expertise necessary for handling multi-UAV systems. Furthermore, this work is the first step towards designing a multi-UAV planning architecture that integrates with the U-space services specified in EU regulatory 2021/664. We propose two declarative languages: (i) an Agent-Language for expressing mitigation and safety objectives for individual UAVs, and (ii) an Operation-Language to enable users to plan high-level multi-UAV operations based on the available resources. The languages enable automatic on-the-fly re-planning if any UAVs abort the mission unexpectedly. The initial result of the multi-UAV planning architecture is showcased in three simulated UAVs running as Software-In-The-Loop (SITL), to demonstrate its capabilities.
