DLR's Institute of Communications and Navigation is dedicated to mission-oriented research in selected areas of communications and navigation. Its work ranges from the theoretical foundations to the demonstration of new technologies and systems in real-world environments and is embedded in DLR's space, aviation, transport, security and digitalisation programmes.
Direct benefits for society and industry
The Institute's current work is focused on four missions that have a direct benefit for society and industry. They form the framework for tasks on global networking of people and machines with system concepts and new communication standards, on next-generation global navigation systems, on autonomous and cooperative systems and assistance systems in traffic and exploration, and on technologies for secure communications of the future.
