Approved projects from the call "Innovations in the field - flagship projects for civil security"
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research supports technology and knowledge transfer with the call "Innovations in the field - flagship projects for civil security". The aim is to follow up on particularly innovative research findings with great practical relevance from the "Research for Civil Security" framework program and to translate them into solutions suitable for use in the field in a timely manner. Police and fire departments, municipalities, operators of critical infrastructures, companies in the private security industry and other key stakeholders entrusted with establishing and guaranteeing civil security can benefit directly from the state of the art in science and technology through this measure. Particularly suitable projects from the field of civil security research are given the opportunity to further develop their results within the framework of so-called flagship projects. In close cooperation with security practitioners, these projects can demonstrate the performance of their research approaches under operational conditions and with scientific support.
Ongoing joint projects:
AKIT-PRO: AutonomyKIT for the conversion of construction machines into cooperating commercial vehicles to support rescue forces
Funding codes 13N15671 to 13N15673
In the completed project Autonomy-KIT for near-series work vehicles for networked and assisted recovery from sources of danger (AKIT), conventional construction machines could be converted into semi-autonomous robotic vehicles to take over dangerous tasks in the event of a disaster. In AKIT-PRO, the technology developed so far will be be improved upon and tested for use under real conditions.

LARUS-PRO: LARUS - Transfer to rescue organizations
Funding codes 13N15664 to 13N15669
In the completed project Situation Support in Maritime Emergency Operations by Unmanned Aerial Systems (LARUS), the basic capability of an unmanned aerial system for automated operations in the field of maritime emergency rescue could be demonstrated. The next step will be to be further develop a deployable system for various scenarios and operations in rescue services and disaster control. Such scenarios include for example the search for missing persons on land, the reconnaissance of the situation in the event of forest fires, natural disasters such as flood scenarios, or in the event of incidents and accidents.
