Aim and Scope
The 2nd International Conference on Drones and Unmanned Systems (DAUS' 2026) focuses on the design, development and applications of drones, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), Unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS).
The event provides an international forum for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to present the latest advances in aerial, underwater, ground, and space unmanned platforms. The program covers cutting-edge technologies in AI, autonomy, sensing, communications, energy, and swarm coordination, as well as diverse applications in industry, agriculture, defense, environment, and urban air mobility. We invite original contributions that shape the future of intelligent, safe, and sustainable unmanned systems.
The DAUS 2026 Conference brings together academics, industry representatives, and domain specialists to share perspectives on this rapidly evolving field. This forum also aims to address the application of drones in various sectors, including industry, agriculture, military, and security, highlighting both current practices and future trends. The emerging fields of space drones, micro- and mini-drones, and the integration of unmanned systems in construction monitoring will be explored, identifying new opportunities for innovation and deployment. Discussions on the regulation, education, and training necessary to support the safe and effective deployment of these systems will also be a critical component.
By filling gaps in existing knowledge and fostering collaboration across disciplines, this conference aims to accelerate the advancement of drone technology and its integration into various applications, ultimately contributing to the development of more efficient, safe, and intelligent unmanned systems.
The DAUS' 2026 is organized by the International Frequency Sensors Association (IFSA) - one of the major professional, non-profit association serving for sensor industry and academy since 1999: https://sensorsportal.com. The event was co-located under the same conference umbrella with the 6th IFSA Winter Conference Automation, Robotics & Communications for Industry 4.0/5.0/6.0 (ARCI' 2026): https://arci-conference.com.
