Resiliente Technologien für den Katastrophenschutz
Goal
Bring together existing skills and technologies from the DLR focus areas aviation, space, energy, transport and security, and integrate these technologies and services into a novel data and visualization system.
Catastrophic events pose major challenges for civil defense and disaster control, regarding a) the availability of communication services, b) the availability of up-to-date data needed for situation awareness and assessment, especially for the affected critical infrastructures, and c) the accessibility of the disaster area, where infrastructure is destroyed, as well as safe transport of goods from and to the affected areas.
Project RESITEK therefore aims to bring together existing skills and technologies from the DLR focus areas aviation, space, energy, transport and security, and integrate these technologies and services into a novel data and visualization system. This system is designed to provide continuous situation monitoring, as well as user-oriented and mission-optimized situation awareness, mission planning and implementation during catastrophic events. The data and visualization system is intended for both data collection and analysis, to recommend action measures for normal operation and, in the event of a disaster, to make the assistance provided by the authorities and organizations with security tasks (BOS) as efficient and fast as possible. A joint final demonstration will then illustrate the interaction of the developed platforms with a wide variety of operational vehicles (ground and air, manned and unmanned) in a realistic operational scenario with authorities and stakeholders.
Consequently, project RESITEK follows a scenario- and user-open approach, requiring the developed system to be both modular and continuously expandable. The following main areas of research are thus emphasized within the project: a) space weather (effects on humans and energy infrastructure), b) resilience of power grids (creation of island grids), c) transport mobility under exceptional circumstances (use of battery electric vehicles for grids, escape and accessibility), d) remote guidance and mission planning (including communication and navigation), and e) complex situation awareness (based on a wide range of deployment vehicles).
