Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The "Navigation and Detection Fusion for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles" Special Issue tackles critical challenges and offers innovative solutions in the realm of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation and object detection. AUVs are pivotal in a range of marine applications, including environmental monitoring, scientific research, and defense. This compilation of articles delves into the integration of navigation and detection systems to bolster AUV autonomy and efficiency. Explored topics encompass sensor fusion techniques, cutting-edge sonar and imaging technologies, path planning algorithms, and machine learning methods aimed at optimizing underwater exploration and data collection. The research presented in this special issue is pivotal for enhancing AUV capabilities and performance across a spectrum of underwater missions, rendering it an invaluable resource for researchers, engineers, and organizations engaged in marine technology and exploration.
This Special Issue aims to share relevant scientific work focused on everything from large-scale patterns to detailed aspects and case studies, encouraging the publication of new emerging information that contributes to knowledge in the field of navigation in general, focusing on but not limited to detection fusion for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
