    Standardized communication protocols and technical specifications do require unique descriptions for testing. Scientists of Fraunhofer FOKUS are part of the Special Task Forces (STFs) and Testing Task Forces (TTFs) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), whose objective it is to define test specifications using TTCN-3 and to maintain TTCN-3.

    The armed forces want to access the innovative power of digital transformation. The vision of the study “AI support for learning management systems” is attractive, modern and targeted training that ensures the right personnel are well trained and capable of acting at the right time. To this end available functionalities from the fields of digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are to be integrated into the existing training landscape of the armed forces. This exploratory study, which was commissioned by the Bundeswehr Planning Office, aims to demonstrate the added value and feasibility of an AI-supported learning management system.

    No product is safe from counterfeiters, whether it's sneakers, chainsaws, medicines, or FFP2 masks. At the same time, consumers hardly have a chance to detect such pirated products. Especially in medical products and pharmaceuticals, there is also a considerable health risk from counterfeit products. Therefore, the Smart ID project is developing a novel labeling system that can be used to verify the authenticity of products.
