Validation Campain in Volkach 10.6 – 26.6.2024 15. July 2024
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we were able to successfully present our scientific and technical work to a broad public at the A.H.E.A.D. (https://projekt-ahead.de/) demonstration at the “Bundeswehr” area in Volkach. In the two demonstration scenarios, a humanitarian aid delivery was successfully simulated with the World Food Programme, and in the afternoon a disaster exercise was carried out with the Bayerisches Rotes Kreuz (BRK), in which a person was rescued from a flooding situation. In addition to numerous emergency services and experts from the Hashtag WFP and the Hashtag BRK, the teleoperated SHERP was at the centre of this demonstration, with the aim of keeping the driver out of the danger zone.
We are particularly pleased that the two demos went so well and that the high-ranking political presence reacted positively to our validation campaigns.
Many thanks to the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. Many thanks to State Secretary Tobias Gotthardt for his visit and his time, and to Mr Hashtag Eric_Nielsen and Mr Dietmar Schneyer for their extensive time. Furthermore of course to our DLR programme management Susann Groß, Timm Roegler and Kathrin Poser, the institute management Alin Albu-Schaeffer and all the colleagues from BRK and WFP, our end users, as well as all the other guests who attended the demo. Special thanks to Hashtag Oberst_Kampf and his team for the marvelous location in Volkach. As so often before, most thanks go to my team, without whom none of this would be possible!
