1. A system, comprising:
at least one device comprising a processor, wherein the at least one device is configured to:
determine information corresponding to at least one of a type of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or a use associated with the UAV, and at least one of a quality of service (QoS) level associated with the UAV, a service level agreement (SLA) associated with the UAV, or a historic level of data usage associated with the UAV,
receive telemetry information associated with flights of a plurality of UAVs,
train, using machine learning, a model associated with tracking flights of the plurality of UAVs using the received telemetry information,
identify a network slice to service the UAV based on the determined information and the model,
assign the identified network slice to the UAV, and
perform antenna beam management for the UAV while the UAV is in flight.
