Abstract

As the Editor-in-Chief, I am excited to introduce our forthcoming journal, IECE Transactions on Drone Systems. The journal is committed to advancing drone systems by offering a platform that enables researchers, industry experts, and regulatory authorities to exchange ideas that support ongoing research initiatives and standardization efforts in this emerging field. The research initiatives concentrate on state-of-the-art advancements that propel autonomous flight operations, physical design, navigation systems, control protocols, information security measures, artificial intelligence, and drone applications.
