Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the deep integration of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with intelligent computing and other information technologies, an intelligent unmanned system has evolved, integrating information perception, autonomous decision-making and dynamic control. Such a system will gradually replace manned aircraft to perform military and civil tasks in the complex environments of the future. To successfully accomplish these tasks, UAVs are required not only to have intelligent decision-making abilities so as to adapt to unknown environments, but also to have good flight control performance in complex dynamic environments. Therefore, the intelligent decision-making technologies and the safe flight control schemes of UAVs in complex dynamic environments need to be fully considered in the future research into UAVs.
The journal focuses on the design and applications of drones, including research into control systems, artificial intelligence, mission planning and performance analysis, etc. This Special Issue on “Advanced Intelligent Decision-Making and Flight Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” will cover a broad spectrum of topics related to advanced intelligent decision-making and flight control, focusing on new problems encountered in the research into UAVs.
This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in the fields of decision-making and intelligent control on UAVs to disseminate their new ideas and research results. At the same time, the themes of “The 6th International Symposium on Autonomous Systems” are related to the Special Issue. Thus, we encourage the authors of outstanding original articles accepted for the conference to submit extended versions of their papers to this Special Issue. This Special Issue is also an open call for other high-quality papers in this research field, though the authors who wish to contribute directly to the Special Issue are in principle required to register for the conference and present their published work at the conference. Topics of interest for research papers include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Unmanned System Command and Control
- Guidance Law Design
- Active Vibration Control
- Neural/Fuzzy Control
- Fault-Tolerant Control
- Discrete Controller Design
- Novel Disturbance Rejection Control
- Adaptive Estimation and Control
- Path Planning
- Cooperative Control of UAVs
- UAV Modeling and Simulation
- Decision-Making
- Task Assignment
- Health Management

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Drones is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
