Marine und Einsatz von Drohnen

Drohnen Marine: Sie bieten jedem Militär viele Vorteile und Möglichkeiten, auch in einer Marine. Die unbemannten Geräte leisten bereits große Hilfe bei Aufklärung und Überwachung und könnten zukünftig auch die Fähigkeiten der Marine deutlich erweitern. Doch wie sehen die Zukunftsperspektiven für Drohnen aus? Welche Einsatzmöglichkeiten gibt es? Und um welche unterschiedlichen Drohnen-Modelle geht es? Was sind Drohnen?Welche Rolle spielen Drohnen bei der Marine?Sind Drohnen autonome Systeme?Wofür werden Drohnen beim Militär bzw. bei der Bundeswehr eingesetzt?Welche Vorteile bringen die unbemannten Flug- und Unterwasserdrohnen? Was sind die Schwachstellen?Welche verschiedenen Drohnen-Modelle gibt es beim Militär?Wie könnte die Perspektive für die Zukunft aussehen?...

The commander stays at home

Drones - perceptions and expectations on the subject of technical systems that are capable of acting independently have been characterised by the "Terminator" and the technical intelligence behind it, "Skynet", since 1984 at the latest. A machine state with almost unlimited capabilities that are only surpassed by its will to power, boundless amorality and hostility towards humanity. When we talk about "autonomous" systems, the images and story of the "Terminator" are almost automatically brought to mind. The technological reality is very different. Drones fly halfway around the world, tanks and ships without crews guard military installations or search for submarines and, finally, IT-supported command and control systems are part and parcel of...

Helicopter of the Navy

A far-reaching system change is currently taking place in the German Navy's helicopter sector. Over the next few years, the tried-and-tested Sea King Mk 41 and Sea Lynx Mk 88A helicopters will be replaced by the NH90 NGEN (company name of the German naval variant) in the NTH (Naval Transport Helicopter, Sea Lion) and MRFH (Multi-Role Frigate Helicopter, Sea Tiger) variants. At the same time, this requires a change in previous ways of thinking and working as well as "established" operational procedures, as the NH90 NGEN offers extensive new, modern capabilities. In order to be able to utilise these optimally, the crews and superiors on land and on board must rethink - away from...

Safe navigation through sea mine detection

Professor Andreas Karcher and his team at the Institute of Applied Computer Science at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich are researching a system in cooperation with the Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Schiffe und Marinewaffen, Maritime Technologie und Forschung (WTD 71) that helps to detect sea mines under water more effectively than previously possible. Sea mines are a danger to shipping. They have a serious impact on the feasibility of operations and on operational procedures. The more automatically they can be rendered harmless, the less manpower is required. Automatic detection of this hazard plays a key role here. This must be analysed in the operational system context. With the same systemic...
