Projects

ARROWS - Applied Research on Resilience-driven Offshore Wind Farm Safety and Security

The goal of this project, which continues the activities of the preceding project KÜS (KPI-based monitoring of the security situation of offshore wind farms), is both the development of methods for assessing the degree of resilience and risk of OWF with regard to safety and security as well as the research on approaches that enable to enhance the resilience towards threats to the safety and security of this infrastructure. Therefore, different aspects of OWF shall be considered, including the energy provision as well as operation and maintenance processes ‑ both with emphasis on security aspects, the integrity of surveillance systems as well as the overall safety and security of the OWF infrastructure including offshore platforms.

GIS4BOS - Municipal Geographic Information Systems for Public Authorities and Organisations with Security Tasks

Digital means for command and control systems have been gaining in importance. They offer considerable ad-vantages over conventional radio communication and paper-based city and building plans as they enable a coordi-nated, cross-institutional response. The GIS4BOS project aims to create an intelligent, municipally operated platform for different public authorities and law enforcement organisations. The objective is the more efficient handling of large-scale events, specific maritime operations and the continuous evaluation and enhanced tailoring of need and development plans. The city’s existing geographic information system (GIS) will serve as a starting point.

MARLIN - Maritime Awareness Realtime Instrumentation Network

The Project aims to develop and demonstrate the operation of an innovative situational awareness system for the monitoring of maritime infrastructures. The focus is on measuring, assessing and representing the protection status of maritime infrastructures in real time. For this purpose, novel sensors and state-of-the-art data processing and analysis methods will be used to provide users with both a compressed representation of complex information on the situation and recommendations for action on different kinds of user terminals.

ResH2 - Resilient offshore production and maritime utilization of green hydrogen A principal goal of this project is to relate cross-system resilience-oriented aspects to system’s requirements and restrictions in the context of green hydrogen offshore infrastructures and maritime utilization.

	SUBVIS – SUBsea VISion in inspection tasks In addition to acoustic sonar systems, active optical camera systems offer solutions for improving visibility through turbid waters. The aim of this project is to develop a gated-viewing sensor, that effectively suppresses backscatter by time-synchronising nanosecond light pulses with a delayed exposure of the camera.

	TRAGVIS – Portable range-gated viewing system for vision enhancement in maritime environments Optical viewing systems have a large potential to improve safety for people working at sea. The TRAGVIS project is dedicated to developing a portable active viewing system for maritime search and rescue services.

VerSich - Responsible Security Technology – Ethical, Legal and Social Aspects of Autonomy in the Context of Security Technologies

Alongside the identification of past, present and future challenges regarding the employment of autonomous systems in the security domain, the project shall further uncover methodological approaches that can help to address these very challenges through interdisciplinary research. The objectives of the VerSich project are hence two-fold: Firstly. it shall establish a roadmap of research topics which reflect the identified ethical, legal and social challenges. Secondly, it aims to provide a methodological toolbox which shall serve the advancement of interdisciplinary research and responsible technology development at the Institute for the Protection of Maritime Infrastructures in particular and the German Aerospace Centre in general.
