Sankt Augustin

DLR site Sankt Augustin

Sankt Augustin in the Rhein-Sieg district is home to three DLR institutes: the Institute for AI Security, the Institute for the Protection of Terrestrial Infrastructures and the Institute for Software Technology.

The Institute for the Protection of Terrestrial Infrastructures focuses its research and development activities on the protection of critical infrastructures. It develops concepts, processes and technologies that strengthen and improve the resilience of critical organizations and facilities. At the same time, the institute develops intelligent sensors that can monitor infrastructures and detect hazardous substances, particularly in the area of CBRNE (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive threats).

The DLR Institute for AI Safety and Security is also located at the site. The institute's management and administration are based there, as are three of its scientific departments: Business Development and Strategy, Safety-Critical Data Infrastructures, and Algorithms & Hybrid Solutions. Two other departments are located at the Ulm site. The institute researches and develops AI-related methods, processes, algorithms, technologies and execution or system environments. It carries out interdisciplinary and cross-divisional AI research and development across all DLR domains. This enables the safe and reliable use of artificial intelligence as one of the key technologies of the future, which will be used in a wide variety of areas.

The Institute for Software Technology bundles its research on quantum computing and intelligent software systems at the Sankt Augustin site. It is represented there by the three working groups "Quantum Computing Methods and Implementation", "Quantum Computing Application Software" and "Intelligent Software Systems". The institute works from a total of eight locations on specialized software solutions for the key areas of aviation, aerospace, transport, energy and security.
