UAVNOW 2027 – DTR Society

The International Conference on Intelligent UAV Systems is bringing together advances in autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, networking, sensing, robotics, and systems engineering, to promote innovative methodologies and practical solutions that will shape the future of intelligent aerial systems.

The event provides a multidisciplinary forum for researchers, engineers, practitioners, and technology developers to explore the next generation of Intelligent UAV Systems. The technical program addresses the complete engineering lifecycle of modern UAV technologies, covering communication, networking, routing, and dynamic system architectures; autonomous navigation, flight intelligence, and cooperative operations; recognition, monitoring, and situational awareness; smart-city services and precision industrial applications; and the engineering principles required to build secure, resilient, trustworthy, and scalable UAV ecosystems.

If you want to get involved beyond submitting an article, please consider organizing a workshop, a thematic session, or a demo. Details are available on the Event Satellites page.

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have evolved from remotely piloted platforms into intelligent, connected, and increasingly autonomous systems capable of performing complex missions across civilian, industrial, scientific, and public-service domains. Today’s UAV ecosystem encompasses a wide spectrum of aerial platforms, including single-rotor, multi-rotor, fixed-wing, and HTOL & VTOL configurations, each designed to address distinct operational requirements. Advances in airframe design, flight controllers, sensing technologies, communication infrastructures, and onboard computing have enabled UAVs to progress from visual line-of-sight operations toward extended and beyond-visual-line-of-sight missions, while supporting varying degrees of autonomy ranging from remotely controlled to fully autonomous systems.As UAV capabilities continue to expand, the research focus is shifting from individual aircraft to complete intelligent ecosystems benefitting form advances n AI-supported tools. Modern UAV systems operate as distributed cyber-physical platforms that integrate communication networks, edge intelligence, artificial intelligence, autonomous navigation, cooperative mission execution, real-time sensing, and secure interaction with other aerial, terrestrial, and cloud-based infrastructures. Their effectiveness increasingly depends not only on mechanical performance, but also on robust networking, adaptive decision-making, collaborative operation, trustworthy autonomy, and seamless integration with intelligent environments such as smart cities, industrial facilities, transportation infrastructures, and emergency response systems.This conference provides a multidisciplinary forum for researchers, engineers, practitioners, and technology developers to explore the next generation of Intelligent UAV Systems.
