Civil and Public Domain Applications of Unmanned Aviation

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Unmanned systems have witnessed unprecedented levels of growth during the past decade. Although military applications have dominated the field for years, there is a major shift to civil and public domain applications in which aerial platforms are used across a wide spectrum of diverse applications in urban and rural areas. This Topic focuses on civil and public domain applications and on the societal impact of unmanned aviation and its effect on everyday quality of life. Although the technical challenges cover a wide spectrum of topics, of particular importance are the following topics:

• bioinspired aerial platforms;
• hybrid platforms;
• design resiliency;
• human factors;
• the framework and regulations for integration into the national air-space.

Submitted papers will include, but are not be limited to, extended versions of accepted conference papers in ICUAS 2024, which will be held on 4–7th June, Chania, Crete, Greece. The maximum percentage of overlap will be 30%. Authors must reference the corresponding conference papers. The extended version of the accepted conference papers in ICUAS 2024 will enjoy a 20% discount on the Article Processing Charge.

This paper identifies and classifies the essential constraints that must be addressed to allow U-space traffic autonomous guidance. Based on an extensive analysis of the state of the art in robotic guidance, physics of flight, flight safety, communication and navigation, uncrewed aircraft missions, artificial intelligence (AI), social expectations in Europe on drones, etc., we analyzed the existing constraints and the information needs that are of essential importance to address the identified constraints. We compared the identified information needs with the last edition of the U-space Concept of Operations and identified critical gaps between the needs and proposed services. A high-level methodology to identify, measure, and close the gaps is proposed. Full article
