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.

SAR-Tutor is a learning software for radar image analysis. Basic principles of radar technology and especially of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) are learned. Interactive animations and exercises enable a sustainable training for the evaluation of airborne and satellite-based radar images.

"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.

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.

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

"Lost Earth 2307" is a 4X strategy game for aerial and satellite image analysis. The player explores and liberates foreign planets and learns to evaluate optical, infrared and radar images. The possible applications of different sensor platforms such as drones, aircraft and satellites are also taught

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.

"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 rapid digitization of manufacturing and management processes in companies requires continuous, fast and flexible further training of employees. Today's continuing education offerings can only meet individual aspects of these increasing requirements.

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