Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unmanned aircraft systems are developing rapidly. Several control algorithms are being tested for use on-board UASs. Additionally, the use of data fusion and virtual sensor algorithms offers several new possibilities. Another important topic is autonomous navigation and autonomous flight plan change.
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences on “State Estimation, Control and Motion Planning of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs)” focuses on the broad topic of UAV state estimation, control algorithms and motion planning. Theoretical and empirical articles related to unmanned flying systems (all configurations, including but not limited to fixed-wing aircraft and rotorcraft) are welcome.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
