Abstract This paper explores the integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV s) with reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) and relay networks to enhance the performance of the communication systems. We introduce a system model that combines relay and RIS functionalities on a UAV, operating in an integrated relay-RIS mode with selection combining. Our work focuses on critical performance metrics, such as outage probability (OP) and average symbol error rate (ASER), under realistic channel conditions modeled with Nakagami-m fading. We derive analytical expressions for OP and SER, validated through comprehensive simulations, demonstrating substantial improvements in reliability over standalone systems. This re-search provides a robust framework for deploying integrated relay-RIS systems, addressing the challenges of dynamic and complex communication scenarios, and paving the way for transformative applications in smart cities, emergency response, and remote connectivity. © 2025 IEEE.
