Projects and products

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.

Complex reconnaissance and surveillance tasks often cannot be solved with stationary sensors alone or with just one mobile sensor carrier (e.g., a drone). If several mobile systems are used simultaneously in a scenario, conventional individual applications quickly reach their limits.

The aim of the project is to make the operation of drones safer - by connecting U-Space to data sources on relevant hazard information, including monitoring drone statuses, AI-based decision support and communication concepts.

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.
