Proceedings of the International Conference on Aerospace System Science and Engineering 2019 (Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering)

This book presents the proceedings of the International Conference on Aerospace System Science and Engineering (ICASSE 2019), held in Toronto, Canada, on July 30–August 1, 2019, and jointly organized by the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) and the Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. ICASSE 2019 provided a forum that brought together experts on aeronautics and astronautics to share new ideas and findings.

These proceedings present high-quality contributions in the areas of aerospace system science and engineering, including topics such as trans-space vehicle system design and integration, air vehicle systems, space vehicle systems, near-space vehicle systems, aerospace robotics and unmanned systems, communication, navigation and surveillance, aerodynamics and aircraft design, dynamics and control, aerospace propulsion, avionics systems, optoelectronic systems, and air traffic management.

Prof. Zhongliang Jing received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China, in 1983, 1988, and 1994, respectively, all in Electronics and Information Technology. He is a national recipient of the “Hundred, Thousand, and Ten Thousand Talents Program” Award, a Distinguished Professor in the “Cheung Kong Scholars Program” supported by the Ministry of Education of China, and a Young-and-Middle-Aged Expert who has made outstanding contributions to China’s aviation industry. He is currently a member of the National High-Tech R&D Program Space and Aviation Expert Group (863 Program).

His research interests include adaptive filtering, target tracking, information fusion, avionics integration, and soft robot control. He has published over 200 journal papers and 7 monographs. He is currently Editor in Chief of the journal Aerospace Systems (Springer). He has served on the editorial boards of various journals, e.g., the International Journal of Space Science and Engineering, Information and Control, Systems Engineering and Electronics, and Manned Spaceflight.
