The topics reach from artificial intelligence, robotik, situational awarness, search and rescue to netwok and projects with special topics such als decontamination. Since many years the THW is engaged in security research. This engagement is based on § 1b of the THW-Gesetzes, that ensures the THW´s possibility to engage in security research.

ForAn
The German Practitioner Network for Civil Security Research (ForAn) is building a network of research-based German practitioners from the areas of police emergency response, non-police emergency response and KRITIS operators. ForAn supports its members in obtaining European funding from the research and innovation framework program Horizon Europe.
ROMATRIS
The project focuses on creating a robot system that is capable of safely transporting a payload of up to 120 kilograms through difficult terrain (including gravel, obstacles and inclines).
