Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
UAVs have attracted increasing attention due to their widespread use in various fields, such as commercial deliveries, agriculture, search and rescue, and traffic monitoring. However, UAVs are a double-edged sword, as they can also be misused for nefarious purposes such as smuggling and terrorist attacks. Therefore, the identification and tracking of UAVs are necessary. Considering the low cost and widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) systems, solutions for UAV identification and tracking based on these systems are highly promising. This Special Issue aims to explore recent advancements, emerging trends, and innovative applications in the field of using Internet of Things systems with sensors for UAV identification and tracking.
The topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The design of IoT systems for UAV identification;
- The design of IoT systems for UAV detection;
- The design of IoT systems for UAV tracking;
- Sensor data fusion in IoT systems for anti-UAV purposes;
- Signal processing algorithms in IoT systems;
- AI and ML algorithms for UAV identification and the IoT;
- Localization and tracking algorithms for anti-UAV purposes and the IoT.
