IEEE VTS Workshop on Drones: Swarm Intelligence: Autonomous and Connected Unmanned Aircraft Systems
Second IEEE VTS Workshop on Drones
Swarm Intelligence: Autonomous and Connected Unmanned Aircraft Systems
In conjunction with 2019 IEEE 90th Vehicular Technology Conference
VTC2019-Fall
22-25 September 2019, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
IEEE Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) recently created an ad hoc committee on drones to promote research among the members of the IEEE VTS community in this important discipline. The committee is in charge of creating a roadmap for promoting research within the VTS community in topics related to Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) including UAS connectivity, navigation, command and control, autonomy, reliability, safety, security, and regulatory aspects, among others. This is the second in the series workshops organized by the IEEE VTS ad hoc committee on drones. It is intended to serve as a venue for exchange of ideas among peers, and to create a research agenda for the broader community. It will cover topics related to UAS and UAS swarms including but not limited to the following:
- Autonomy and cooperation in swarms
- Human-autonomy teaming
- Cooperative and collaborative strategies for critical tasks such as sense/detect and avoid
- Geo-fencing, and trajectory design and optimization
- Ad hoc and mesh-networking of UAS
- Traffic management
- Command, control, and navigation
- Beyond radio line of sight communications
- Navigation in GPS-denied areas
- Drone-to-Drone and Drone-to-X communications
- From UHF band through mm-wave bands and beyond communications
- Massive MIMO and beamforming
- UAS integration in National Airspace
- Onboard sensors and their integration
- Flight-tests, test-beds, and simulations
- Safety, security and privacy
- Regulatory aspects
