    The aim of the Virtual Learning Environment of the German Federal Armed Forces (in German: “Virtuelle Lernumgebung der Bundeswehr”, VLBw) is to integrate all training facilities of the German Armed Forces into a common digital ecosystem – secure, interoperable and future-proof. The VLBw strengthens the digital sovereignty of the German Federal Armed Forces and gives teachers the freedom to design content and methods individually – for modern, mission-oriented training.

    Fraunhofer Institute FOKUS in partnership with Deutsche Telekom AG and MediaTek Inc. has successfully integrated TSN standards into a 5G test network. A complete end-to-end TSN system for private 5G networks is provided, spanning from the software-based core network through the radio access network (RAN) to the user equipment. It is suitable for applications requiring deterministic data packet communication, such as robot control in factory shopfloors.

    To mark the conclusion of the CampusOS flagship project, 22 partners from industry and research have published a guideline for the development and operation of open and modular 5G campus networks. These networks offer an alternative to the monolithic solutions of established providers and, through their Open RAN-based approach, promote the digital sovereignty of European companies. 5G campus networks can be deployed in various sectors, such as logistics, construction, manufacturing, agriculture, and healthcare.

    The Internet of Things (IoT) connects the majority of our devices and systems, such as smartphones, computers, and servers. They exchange messages with each other via so-called “brokers” and their communication protocols, e.g. MQTT. Fraunhofer FOKUS has developed a new security testing approach in the IoT. It employs innovative methods and tools that can be used to efficiently identify and eliminate vulnerabilities in communication protocols.
