Projects and products

Fraunhofer IOSB has developed an autonomous surface vehicle that autonomously takes measurements above and below the water to generate associated 3D maps.

To counteract the challenge of the constantly growing volume of traffic, especially in urban areas, six Fraunhofer institutes are developing a scalable, flying experimental platform with the VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) capability of a multicopter and the aerodynamic advantages of a glider, which is to be approved for test and demonstration flights.

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.

"Magneto" will significantly enhance the ability of law enforcement agencies to deal with big data and high data diversity. This will lead to improved crime prevention and more efficient investigation and prosecution of crimes.

"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.

The " AIES-RC/CC " project was dedicated to communication, control and mission management for aerial reconnaissance.

»ViSAR« is an interactive simulator for the visualisation of geometric SAR effects. The user can generate simple 3D models and combine them to complex scenes. For these scenes radar shadows, layover effects and multiple reflections from different angles of a radar sensor can be calculated and displayed.

"ViLand" is a training and experimental system for aerial and satellite image evaluation.

"Digital game-based learning" refers to learning games that increase motivation to learn and are distinct from frontal teaching, literature studies or seminars. These technology-supported forms of learning were developed for schools, universities and companies and are intended to serve as a support here.

The interactive Java- and XML-based software "Interactive ISR Exploitation Report" is used to create and edit formalised deployment results reports. It was developed for military reconnaissance and surveillance processes, but is also suitable for use in civil environments.
