Summary:

Lighter-than-air unmanned systems—such as high-altitude long-endurance balloons, tethered aerostats, and unmanned airships—are gaining increasing attention due to their inherent platform stability, extended station-keeping capability, and low deployment cost. These systems show great potential in applications such as remote-area communications, atmospheric and space observation, disaster monitoring, and emergency response. As mission requirements continue to grow, such platforms are rapidly evolving toward higher performance, greater intelligence, and enhanced autonomy. The strong coupling between aerodynamic, structural, and control subsystems introduces new challenges in system modeling, design optimization, and control strategy development.

This session focuses on the latest research advances and engineering applications in aerodynamic modeling, structural design, system integration, and flight control of lighter-than-air unmanned systems. It encourages exploration of integrated aero-structure-control design methods, multi-physics dynamic modeling techniques, and autonomous attitude and trajectory control strategies. Experts and scholars from universities, research institutes, and industry are warmly invited to submit papers and participate in discussions.


浮空无人系统（如高空长航时气球、系留气球、无人飞艇等）因其平台稳态性好、滞空时间长、部署成本低等特点，在边远地区通信中继、空天探测、灾害预警与应急响应等领域展现出广阔的应用前景。随着任务需求不断提升，该类系统正朝着高性能化、智能化、自主化方向快速发展，其气动/结构/控制之间的高度耦合特性，也对系统建模、设计优化与控制策略提出了新的挑战。

本专题聚焦浮空无人系统在气动建模、结构设计、系统集成与飞行控制等方面的最新研究进展与工程应用，鼓励探索气动-结构-控制一体化设计方法、多场耦合动力学建模技术、自主姿态与轨迹控制策略等关键技术，欢迎来自高校、科研院所及工业界的专家学者踊跃投稿与交流。
