This study applies a dynamic strategic foresight to examine how Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)-based Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), supported by Advanced Communication Systems (ACS), can be integrated into a coherent System of Systems (SoS) for sustainable and effective Disaster Management (DM). These three domains (AAM, ACS, and DM) form a strongly coupled Internet of Things (IoT) triad within an integrated SoS. Using lessons learned from previous or running research projects of the contributing authors, i.e., SUDEM, REGUAS, 5G!Drones, and ETHER, the foresight identifies key enablers—including resilient 5G/6G communication architectures, interoperable data fusion frameworks, and UAS-supported situational awareness. It highlights structural challenges such as fragmented standards, limited cross-agency data integration, and gaps in ACS redundancy for emergency operations. The resulting roadmap outlines development priorities for ACS-enabled AAM, from unified communication protocols and hybrid TN-NTN architectures to education and capacity-building for digital-centric DM. Practically, the findings suggest that policymakers should prioritise harmonised regulatory frameworks for AAM-ACS interoperability and invest in global data exchange standards, while system designers should incorporate redundant communication layers and modular SoS architectures to ensure operational continuity under extreme conditions.
