Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multi-agent unmanned systems have rapidly developed with the resurgence of artificial intelligence in the past decade. The use of multi-agent unmanned systems has grown explosively in both military areas (such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and attack) and civil areas (such as transportation, mapping, and rescue). The cooperative control of multi-agent unmanned systems is key to coordinating the actions of multiple autonomous agents to achieve shared goals. Certainly, research on the cooperative control of multi-agent unmanned systems has been being extremely active.
The goal of this Special Issue is to report the latest theoretical findings and innovative applications in the cooperative control of multi-agent unmanned systems, providing a platform for the community to quickly share new ideas and practical experiences. Thus, this Special Issue focuses upon research on theories, frameworks, methods, and applications of the cooperative control of multi-agent unmanned systems, ranging from unmanned underwater vehicles to planet rovers. This Special Issue particularly emphasizes the cooperative control of UUVs, USVs, UGVs, and UAVs; spacecraft formation; cooperative guidance; cooperative integrated pose control; and distributed optimization of multi-agent unmanned systems. This collection concentrates on multiple unmanned systems, excluding multi-agent systems such as smart grid systems, computer network systems, biological systems, etc., to better reveal the development of cooperative control in the field of unmanned systems.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
