Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Short-range radar (SRR) has emerged as an essential technology in various applications, including automotive safety, industrial automation, healthcare, robotics, and security systems. The ability to detect and analyze objects with high resolution and accuracy has contributed to the tremendous growth of SRR. Recent technological advancements in SRR, such as modern signal processing, miniaturization, cost reduction, and integration with other sensors, have granted unprecedented capabilities. These developments present both exciting opportunities and challenges for scientists, engineers, and practitioners working in the field of SRR.
The present landscape of SRR calls for a consolidated effort to understand the current state of the art and to chart out future directions. Therefore, this Special Issue aims to bring together original research articles and reviews that delve into the complexities, innovations, and potential of short-range radar.
Potential topics for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Recent advancements in SRR design and optimization for diverse applications;
- Signal processing, imaging, and data interpretation techniques specific to SRR;
- Integration of SRR with other sensing modalities and systems;
- Novel detection and tracking models using multi-modal information (e.g., SRR, infrared, visible light, etc.) in remote sensing;
- Challenges and solutions in SRR deployment in real-world scenarios;
- The impact of AI and machine learning in enhancing SRR capabilities;
- Other emerging trends and novel methodologies in SRR research and development.

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. Remote Sensing 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 2700 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.
