Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rising toward the sea, then falling behind it, the arrival of the Ocean Century, stimulated by various needs such as marine resources, seabed topography, marine environment, and marine rights, marine observation and exploration technology has significantly developed, especially the technology of marine autonomous vehicles. The Topic, Marine Autonomous Vehicles: Design, Test and Operation, welcomes contributions from experts and scholars in the field of marine autonomous vehicles design, test, and operation, including but not limited to the following main aspects:
- The design, test, and operation of marine autonomous vehicles (including deep-sea manned submersibles, autonomous underwater vehicles, wave gliders, underwater gliders, intelligent buoys, submarine buoys, surface drift buoys, and new concept underwater vehicles);
- Unit technologies supporting the marine autonomous vehicles’ design, test, and operation (new energy power, intelligent control, navigation and positioning, etc.)
- The design, test, and operation of ocean sensing technology (acoustic, optical, electromagnetic, etc.) and their applications;
- Marine autonomous vehicles cluster/networking technology;
- Theory, methods, technologies, and applications of the ocean big data processing and machine learning.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 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.
