Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the last three decades, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been applied in many fields, such as reconnaissance, patrolling, and the transportation of loads. The ability to coordinate multiple UAVs in a swarm environment more attraactive than using a single UAV. UAV swarms require cooperative control, decision-making, and optimization technology. This is a hot topic in academia and industry at present, and it is critical to ensure the safety of UAVs and improve the mission success rate. This Special Issue aims to collect papers on the state of the art and future trends in UAV techniques, enabling reliable cooperative control and effective decision making. Papers are solicited on all areas directly related to these topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Cooperative control;
- Self-organizing control and optimization of UAV swarm;
- UAV autonomous decision-making;
- UAVs maneuver decision-making;
- Autonomous obstacle avoidance for UAVs;
- Cooperative detection for UAV swarms;
- Cooperative search for UAVs;
- UAV cooperative navigation;
- Intelligent decision making and motion planning;
- Path planning and task assignment for UAV swarms;
- UAV coverage path planning;
- UAV swarm intelligent perception and cognition;
- Autonomous navigation and positioning;
- Simulation and experiment verification for UAV swarms.

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. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
