IUAS – Institute for Unmanned Aerial Systems
Welcome to the IUAS
We bring innovation to the skies and shape the development of unmanned aerial systems and modern radar technologies.
By closely integrating aerial robotics with intelligent sensor systems based on modern radar and antenna technologies, we are creating new technological possibilities and opening up forward-looking prospects.
Intelligente und autonome Flugsysteme
Intelligente und autonome Flugsysteme (UAVs) gewinnen für komplexe Anwendungen in Industrie, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft rasant an Bedeutung. Das Institut für unbemannte Flugsysteme (IUAS) bewegt sich dabei an der Schnittstelle von mobiler Robotik, physikalischer Modellierung, vernetzter Intelligenz und Informatik.

Radarsysteme
Das IUAS forscht an zukunftsweisenden Radartechnologien: Millimeterwellen-Radare sichern im Automobilbereich (Automotive) die präzise Erfassung von Objekten, Abständen und Geschwindigkeiten. Ultrabreitband-Radare (UWB) ermöglichen dagegen die zerstörungsfreie Materialdurchdringung – optimiert für den Einsatz als Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) bei der Bodenanalyse sowie für die Fremdkörperdetektion in Lebensmitteln.

Ausstattung und Labore
Als Heinrich Hertz die drahtlose Nachrichtenübertragung entdeckte, erfüllte sich ein Menschheitstraum. Heute widmet sich die Hochfrequenztechnik dieser Aufgabe – definiert durch elektromagnetische Felder, die sich in extrem kurzen Zeiträumen von ca. 10⁻⁷ bis 10⁻¹² Sekunden ändern. Was klassisch mit Rundfunk begann, prägt heute als Radar- oder Mobilfunktechnik unseren Alltag.

WATER Leakage Finder (WATER)
The “WATER” project is an international collaboration between Hochschule Offenburg and the University of Mauritius. It focuses on developing new methods to detect water losses in distribution networks at an early stage, thereby enabling more efficient use of water resources.
