Priority-based logistics and the polarization of drones in civil aviation will cause an extraordinary disturbance in the ecosystem of future airborne intelligent transportation networks. A dynamic invention needs dynamic sophistication for sustainability and security to prevent abusive use. Trustworthy and dependable designs can provide accurate risk assessment of autonomous aerial vehicles. Using deep neural networks and related technologies, this study proposes an artificial intelligence (AI) collaborative surveillance strategy for identifying, verifying, validating, and responding to malicious use of drones in a drone transportation network. The dataset for simulation consists of 3600 samples of 9 distinct conveyed objects and 7200 samples of the visioDECT dataset obtained from 6 different drone types flown under 3 different climatic circumstances (evening, cloudy, and sunny) at different locations, altitudes, and distance. The ALIEN model clearly demonstrates high rationality across all metrics, with an F1-score of 99.8%, efficiency with the lowest noise/error value of 0.037, throughput of 16.4 Gbps, latency of 0.021, and reliability of 99.9% better than other SOTA models, making it a suitable, proactive, and real-time avionic vehicular technology enabler for sustainable and secured DTS.

Assessing vines' vigour is essential for vineyard management and automatization of viticulture machines, including shaking adjustments of berry harvesters during grape harvest or leaf pruning applications. To address these problems, based on a standardized growth class assessment, labeled ground truth data of precisely located grapevines were predicted with specifically selected Machine Learning (ML) classifiers (Random Forest Classifier (RFC), Support Vector Machines (SVM)), utilizing multispectral UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) sensor data. The input features for ML model training comprise spectral, structural, and texture feature types generated from multispectral orthomosaics (spectral features), Digital Terrain and Surface Models (DTM/DSM- structural features), and Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) calculations (texture features).

The increasing reliance of modern agriculture on honey bee () pollination has driven efforts to preserve and enhance bee populations. The cryopreservation of drone semen presents a promising solution for preserving genetic diversity and supporting breeding programs without live animal transport risks. This study aimed to evaluate a one-step dilution antibiotic-free drone semen slow-freezing protocol under field conditions with in vitro and in vivo parameters.

With the increasing height and rotor diameter of wind turbines, bat activity monitoring within the risk area becomes more challenging. This study investigates the impact of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) on bat activity and explores acoustic bat detection via UAS as a new data collection method in the vicinity of wind turbines. We tested two types of UAS, a multicopter and a Lighter Than Air (LTA) UAS, to understand how they may affect acoustically recorded and analyzed bat activity level for three echolocation groups: Pipistrelloid, Myotini, and Nyctaloid.

Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB) usually attacks rice in the flowering stage and can cause yield losses of up to 50% in severely infected fields. The resulting yield losses severely impact farmers, necessitating compensation from the regulatory authorities. This study introduces a new pipeline specifically designed for detecting BLB in rice fields using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery.
