Summary

Research, development, and testing under realistic conditions: The TCRH offers universities, companies, government agencies, and organizations with security responsibilities a practical platform for security-relevant innovations. Here, products, processes, operational concepts, and training solutions for civil protection, disaster preparedness, civil defense, and internal and external security can be developed, tested, and practiced.

In light of hybrid threats, increasing demands on critical infrastructure protection, complex disaster situations, and new technological possibilities, security needs more than theory. It needs realistic scenarios, experienced users, robust testing, and the transfer of knowledge into operational practice.

Research, development, testing and training under realistic operating conditions.

Real-world laboratory for civil protection, security and application-oriented innovation

New technologies, processes and training concepts for the Civil protection, the Disaster preparedness, a Civil defense as well as those inner and external security They must be tested where their later application can be realistically simulated. With its training objects, scenarios, expert users, technical support, and operational environment, the TCRH offers an interdisciplinary platform for this.

Whether search and rescue situations, technical and biological locationDrone systems, situational awareness, operational control, protection of critical infrastructure, animal disease control or medical-tactical applications: At TCRH, products, processes and concepts can be planned, developed, tested, evaluated and further developed in a practical manner.

Real-world laboratory for safety-relevant applications

The security situation is changing. Natural disasters, pandemics, animal diseases, CBRN threats, cyber and hybrid threats, acts of sabotage, as well as failures of critical infrastructure and complex large-scale emergencies pose new challenges for emergency services, authorities, companies and research institutions.

The TCRH provides a space where these requirements can not only be considered theoretically but also tested practically. Here, research institutions, universities, companies, government agencies, security organizations, and practitioners meet realistic scenarios and experienced professionals.

From idea to deployable solution

Laboratory conditions are insufficient for safety-relevant innovations. They must be tested under stress, in challenging situations, with real-world interfaces, and together with the eventual users.

TCRH supports its project partners throughout the entire development process.

  • Conception:
    Development of scenarios, experimental setups, exercise designs and test formats.
  • Testing:
    Conducting measurement, testing and comparison campaigns under realistic conditions.
  • User feedback:
    Involvement of experienced emergency personnel, specialist users, trainers and managers.
  • Evaluation:
    Observation, documentation, evaluation and derivation of improvements.
  • Training:
    Training of users, instructors, service personnel and multipliers.
  • Presentation:
    Demonstration of solutions to users, decision-makers, partners and funding providers.

Research and development for public safety organizations, government agencies and companies

The TCRH is aimed at universities, research institutions, R&D departments, manufacturers, government agencies, public safety organizations, and other stakeholders in the security sector. Its goal is to accelerate the practical application of innovations while ensuring they meet the demands of real-world operational scenarios.

The TCRH is particularly suitable for projects in the following areas:

  • Civil protection and disaster preparedness
  • Civil protection and civil defense
  • Protection of critical infrastructure
  • Technical location and rescue technologies
  • Biological detection and service dog services
  • Drones, sensors and situational awareness
  • Operational command, staff work and digital situational awareness
  • Search and Rescue, Rescue and Recovery
  • CBRN, animal disease and special situations
  • Occupational safety, animal welfare and safe operating procedures
  • Education, simulation and training technologies

Measurement and test campaigns

The TCRH offers a practical framework for conducting measurement and test campaigns in research and development projects. Existing training facilities, open areas, building structures, debris fields, technical infrastructure, as well as observers, actors, expert users, and evaluation formats can be integrated.

This allows for realistic testing of the feasibility, robustness, usability, tactical benefits, and limitations of new systems. This is particularly important if the solutions are later intended for use by emergency services, command centers, authorities, or operators of critical infrastructure.

Product testing and user trials

Products for safety-critical applications must function reliably in operation. This applies to hardware and software as well as sensors, rescue equipment, tracking technology, communication solutions, drone systems, situational awareness systems, and training technologies.

The TCRH offers manufacturers and users the opportunity to jointly test how products behave in realistic scenarios. In addition to technical functionality, the focus is also on usability under stress, integration into operational procedures, collaboration between different specialist services, and the actual added value for practical application.

Operational support and application

In addition to research and testing, the TCRH can also contribute to the development of situation-specific concepts, training programs, and operational support formats. Customized solutions can be developed for government agencies, the German Armed Forces, and other public authorities, for example, for special operational situations, animal disease control, search and rescue operations, command support, or interdisciplinary exercises.

Conceptualizing, planning, developing and testing

The TCRH offers all the opportunities for research, development and application to plan, develop and test products and services for public safety authorities and organizations (BOS) under realistic conditions.

Platform for collaboration

Complex security issues cannot be solved in isolation. Research, industry, operational practice, administration, and training must therefore collaborate early on so that technical possibilities can be transformed into deployable solutions.

The TCRH therefore sees itself as a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration. Universities, companies, authorities, organizations and users can jointly develop scenarios, test procedures, evaluate results and derive new standards for training, application and operational readiness.
