Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) have rapidly permeated Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) practices over the past several years, and projections indicate the continued growth of their use within these fields beyond the foreseeable future. This special collection aims to advance knowledge in the application of UAS in the civil engineering area by presenting studies for the current integration of UASs in engineering applications and various stages of the construction life cycle.
