Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
This Special Issue (SI) aims to publish the state-of-the-art in UAS/RPAS, leading to full integration of manned–unmanned aviation into the national airspace. Challenging topics include legal, ethical and privacy issues, regulations, benefits of unmanned aviation to society, UAS/RPAS design for safety, reliability and resilience, autonomy, technology standards, manned–unmanned formations, and complete flight control systems, among other topics, all contributing to building high-confidence systems. Submitted papers must be enhanced versions of the accepted conference papers (in ICUAS’20), with clear statements of originality and novelty.
