Projects and products

Reconnaissance and surveillance in civil and military environments often involve the use of different systems, which are subordinate to different areas of responsibility. In multinational operations, data exchange must also be possible between different nations with different authorizations. Security and data protection regulations must be observed.

Whether you’re a pioneer from industry, an SME, a skilled-trades business, the municipal or government sector, or an emergency services organization: As the Fraunhofer IOSB’s Humanoid Robots Experience Lab (HREL), we offer you low-threshold, hands-on access to humanoid robotics.

To effectively deal with the increasing complexity of today's threats, decision makers need a high degree of situational awareness. Appropriate and timely information forms the basis for this. Meeting the demand for this information requires effective and efficient use of available ISR systems.

ARGoS is an Intelligent Information Management for Coalition Shared Data (CSD). Our ARGoS approach enhances the existing metadata search in CSD servers with a unified multimodal search over product content. This enables users to search directly for relevant information within, for example, reconnaissance reports and imagery.

We develop and implement AI systems specifically designed for domains with strict security and compliance requirements. Our focus is on customized AI architectures that meet the highest standards of accuracy, transparency, and methodological traceability, enabling us to design data-driven processes that are both information-secure and efficient.

"Crayons" is an authoring and learning environment for the creation of learning software. With it, learning content with videos, audios, interactive animations, tasks, questionnaires, texts and formulas can be provided on the Internet.

Multisensory system for AI-based drone detection and classification with situation visualization.

The HUGIN project set itself the goal of researching and improving the collaboration and cooperation of intelligent, autonomous watercraft. Algorithms and technologies from a wide range of areas, such as artificial intelligence, data analysis and control technology, were integrated in such a way that the overall demonstrator, consisting of several vehicles, was able to plan missions independently in various scenarios and execute them in a resource-optimized manner.

The networked maritime surveillance and reconnaissance mission of the future is the focus of the European joint research project OCEAN2020. The goal is to generate a comprehensive maritime situation picture based on established as well as new technologies. Fraunhofer IOSB is contributing its expertise in the field of underwater drones and maritime situation analysis.

To maximize the benefits of mobile systems, the best possible planning of data acquisition is essential. In particular, movements of the mobile systems must be carefully planned for this purpose.
