ICUAS 2021 : International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems

The major themes of ICUAS ’21 are: AI and autonomy for UAS/RPAS, UAS/RPAS design for safety, reliability and resilience, unmanned – manned swarms, aerial manipulation, and technology standards, all contributing to building high-confidence systems. National and international organizations, agencies, industry and authorities work towards defining roadmaps of UAS/RPAS expectations, technical requirements and standards that are prerequisite to their full utilization. The next generation of UAS/RPAS is expected to be used for a wide spectrum of civilian and public domain applications. Challenges to be faced and overcome are many, including the topics of interest listed below. Innovative solutions to these challenges will pave the way towards full integration of UAS/RPAS with manned aviation and into the respective national airspace.

ICUAS ’21 aims to bring together different groups of qualified representatives worldwide, organization representatives, funding agencies, industry and academia, to discuss the current state of unmanned aviation advances, and the roadmap to their full utilization in civilian and public domains. Special emphasis will be given to research opportunities, and to ‘what comes next’ in terms of the essential technologies that need to be utilized to advance the state-of-the-art.
