Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multi-UAV systems have wide applications in industries, such as environment monitoring, search and rescue, collaborative transport, hazmat exploration, and so on. As a complex mechatronic system, UAV may suffer from faults in sensors and actuators, which poses great challenges to safe operation in real applications. In addition, onboard electronic components of an UAV including processors, sensors and actuators may be compromised by malicious attackers through either information or physical manners. This may also cause accidents. To ensure safety and security of multi-UAV systems, anomaly detection and response technologies should be developed.
This Special Issue encourages the submission of original research papers that aim to address open problems and challenges in this field. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome. Furthermore, review papers are welcome as well. Papers considered for possible publication may focus on but are not limited to the following topics:
- Fault diagnosis for multi-UAV systems
- Fault tolerant control for multi-UAV systems
- Cyberattack detection for multi-UAV systems
- Cybersecurity for multi-UAV systems
- Anomaly detection in UAV sensing and actuation systems
- Resilient estimation for multi-UAV systems
- Resilient control for multi-UAV 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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
