Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) enable communication between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs); however, their high speed and mobility create significant routing challenges. This study compares the performance of Greedy Perimeter Stateless Routing (GPSR) and Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocols under different mobility models in FANET architectures. Simulations are conducted using OMNeT++ with the INET framework. 36 drones are placed in a 1000m x 1000m area with Stationary, Random Waypoint (RWP), Gauss Markov (GM), Linear, and Circle mobility models at speed ranges of (5-10) m/s and (10-15) m/s. Packet Delivery Ratio (PDR), Mean End to End Delay (E2E Delay), and Mean Throughput are used as performance metrics. The results show that AODV provides higher PDR and Mean Throughput, while GPSR achieves lower Mean E2E Delay. These findings indicate that AODV is more suitable for reliable data delivery, whereas GPSR is preferable for low-latency applications in FANETs.
