Unmanned Aerial Systems/Vehicles (UAS/V) and Drones

This special issue belongs to the section “Systems & Control Engineering“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The rapid development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Systems (UAVs/UASs) and Drones, ranging from very few grams to several tons in weight, and prices from $10 to $100 M, with increasing autonomy and swarm behavior, brings tremendous new opportunities but also danger to the public. To remain competitive in this sector, and prevent wanted or unwanted danger, is a very large challenge. This is the first "Electronics journal" special issue that handles this challenges. It shall present innovations and trends in this sector, to scientists, developers, operators and users. We also welcome open questions and unsolved challenges that shall motivate our readers to be creative in finding solutions.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sergio Montenegro
Guest Editor
