Sustainable UAV Ecosystems: Integrating Blockchain, Quantum, and AI for Smart Mobility and SDG Innovation provides a comprehensive examination of technologies enabling secure, intelligent, and sustainable UAV ecosystems for smart mobility and digital infrastructure. It presents theoretical foundations and practical methodologies integrating artificial intelligence, blockchain, post-quantum cryptography and cloud-edge computing for resilient UAV communications. It not only explores predictive intelligence, adaptive routing, swarm intelligence and decentralized control in autonomous aerial networks but also highlights applications in smart-city logistics, disaster response, environmental monitoring and precision agriculture. Emphasis is placed on energy-efficient operations, low-carbon mobility and sustainable UAV systems aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Key Features: Illustrates the design and integration of secure and sustainable UAV ecosystems, including intelligent aerial networks, smart mobility infrastructures, and autonomous drone operations. Emphasizes the role of artificial intelligence and intelligent analytics in UAV systems by leveraging advanced techniques such as predictive intelligence, adaptive routing, and swarm intelligence for cooperative aerial operations. Presents practical applications of UAV technologies in smart-city logistics, disaster response, environmental monitoring, and precision agriculture to support efficient and sustainable services. Covers cybersecurity mechanisms and post-quantum cryptographic models for protecting UAV communications, aerial networks, and decentralized drone infrastructures. Showcases the integration of blockchain, distributed cloud–edge computing, and decentralized control frameworks to enable trustworthy, scalable, and resilient UAV ecosystems. This book is suitable for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and academic researchers in computer science, artificial intelligence, aerospace engineering, robotics, communication engineering, and smart mobility systems, as well as policymakers and industry practitioners working on sustainable UAV technologies and intelligent aerial infrastructures.
