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.

    The image shows several aircrafts, most of which are flying completely inside the corridor (green), one is about to leave the corridor (yellow) and one has already left the corridor (red).

    The detection and classification of hazardous situations in air traffic with UAS is a complex task requiring a high degree of automation in view of the sharp increase.

    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.

  • The "Security Testing Laboratory" project is concerned with protecting and making industrial automation and control systems (IACS) secure as early as the development process so that attackers have no chance of influencing or damaging production processes.
