Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) have become the cornerstone of modern positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) infrastructure, enabling critical applications across transportation, agriculture, surveying, disaster management, and national security. With the rapid development of new-generation satellite constellations, low-Earth-orbit (LEO) PNT systems, and integrated space–air–ground–sea networks, GNSS technology is undergoing unprecedented innovation and expansion. This Special Issue aims to present the latest advances, challenges, and future trends in global navigation satellite systems, bringing together cutting-edge research from academia and industry worldwide. We welcome high-quality original research papers and comprehensive review articles that address fundamental theories, technological innovations, and practical applications in all aspects of GNSSs.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High-precision GNSS positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies;
- Multi-sensor fusion navigation (GNSS/IMU/vision/LiDAR/odometry);
- Embodied navigation and GNSS-enabled embodied intelligence;
- GNSS meteorology and atmospheric remote sensing applications;
- Ionospheric and tropospheric modeling and correction for GNSSs;
- Precise orbit determination and clock synchronization for satellite constellations;
- GNSS interference detection, mitigation, and anti-spoofing technologies;
- GNSS-based disaster early warning and emergency response systems;
- Lunar, planetary, and deep space PNT technologies;
- Integrated space-air-ground-sea ubiquitous PNT systems;
- LEO satellite constellation-based PNT technologies;
- GNSS signal processing and receiver design;
- Intelligent GNSS algorithms based on machine learning and artificial intelligence;
- GNSS integrity monitoring and reliability enhancement;
- New GNSS signals and system interoperability;
- GNSS applications in intelligent transportation, unmanned systems, and smart cities.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
