Together with its partners, Fraunhofer FKIE develops pioneering technologies and processes for detecting, mitigating, and managing existential risks, both in the civilian sector and in command and intelligence operations in the defense sector. In this context, the institute addresses the security of information and communications technology components along the entire chain of effects—from data acquisition, processing, and transmission to decision support in operational scenarios.
Within the I2SN research network, Fraunhofer FKIE is responsible for the Cyber/IT field of expertise. Competencies from academia, industry, and the public sector are brought together and incorporated into Saxony’s research and innovation landscape. Fraunhofer FKIE serves as an integrative hub, connecting technical expertise and supporting collaborative efforts to address shared challenges.
The Joint Labs take an integrated approach to the key areas of software-defined defense, cybersecurity, and resilience, combining research, technology development, and innovation. They showcase selected projects by Fraunhofer FKIE and its partners in the field of security-critical and defense-related applications and place them in a broader shared context. This provides a practice-oriented overview of current developments and approaches to solutions across the network.
With its focus on Cyber/IT, Fraunhofer FKIE complements I2SN’s other technological fields of expertise and strengthens collaboration across the network.
