Projects and products

Our research and development work happens within the framework of projects - these include equally R&D contracts with industrial customers, publicly funded (collaborative) research projects, and pre-competitive research projects funded by Fraunhofer. You can browse through many of these projects below - as well as products, i.e. results of our R&D activities that have reached a high level of technological maturity.

Please note:

  • The most recently updated projects and products are displayed first.
  • You can filter the list by department or business unit assignment as well as by free-text search terms - but for the latter, the spelling must be exact.

  • Automated drone image and video exploitation for emergency service organizations

    Our technologies for emergency service organizations

    In any operation conducted by emergency services such as firefighters, police, or rescue services, the first steps are situation reconnaissance and risk assessment. Drones that transmit live video to the ground control station, can offer a great advantage, especially in complex incidents that are spread over large areas.

  • DRUM – drone-based support for mass events

    Our technologies for authorities and organizations

    The aim of the DRUM project is to create tools that provide support for drone teams and the operational management of BOS in the security monitoring of mass events. The main task is to automate the evaluation of sensor data and to create a means of transmitting and clearly visualizing the results, enabling the incident command team to quickly and easily assess the situation, identify dangerous situations and locate relevant events.

    The Industrial Security Testing Framework "ISuTest" is a tool for finding weak points in the implementation of automation components. Discovered weak points can be corrected by the manufacturer and thus reduce the component's vulnerability. In the future, robustness against attacks will be a quality criterion with which manufacturers can distinguish themselves from others.
