We are pleased to welcome FH Campus Wien as our newest ordinary member of the Disaster Competence Network Austria. With over 8,000 students, the FH Campus Wien is the largest university of applied sciences in Austria.
We're happy to announce a new project: The goal of KI-SecAssist is the development of autonomous assistance modules based on cooperative task management and various UAV and UGV systems with integrated multi-sensor payload. The development of AI-based solutions enables cooperative multimodal interaction strategies between several UAVs (fixed wing and multi-rotor) and UGVs and thus an intelligent interaction of the individual systems for an optimised assistance service for emergency forces oriented towards special mission scenarios.

On March 22nd and 23rd, 2022, the first workshop in the KIRAS-funded B.PREPARED project – aimed at emergency planning and decision support system for accidents involving hazardous substances – took place in the premises of the Upper Austrian provincial fire brigade command in Linz. The aim of this workshop was to work on central issues of the work packages together with the entire project consortium and external stakeholders and thus to consolidate the basis of the project. The workshop was held in a hybrid form, which worked excellently thanks to the infrastructure of the venue.
