The inaugural International Conference on Drones and Unmanned Systems (DAUS' 2025) 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 aims to serve as a forum for the dissemination and discussion of cutting-edge research, advancements, and innovations on this rapidly evolving field of a wide range of topics. The scope of the conference spans a diverse range of topics, in all fields of autonomous systems, algorithm, automate software, hardware and applications related to drones and autonomous systems. A key focus will be on the convergence of drones with artificial intelligence, exploring how AI can revolutionize unmanned systems in areas such as autonomy, decision-making, and data analysis.

The DAUS 2025 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.
