Technological Expertise for Safety-Critical Systems
Empowering Defence
Defence & Security
Modern armed forces face the challenge of deploying highly networked systems safely and effectively under complex and dynamic operational conditions. Emerging threats, Multi-Domain Operations, and the growing use of data-driven and AI-enabled approaches are increasing the demands on interoperability, resilience, and reliable decision-making.
IABG supports governmental and industrial clients in the analysis, simulation, and evaluation of military capabilities – ranging from individual effectors to interconnected system-of-systems architectures. The focus lies on model-based analyses, simulation-supported decision-making, and the verification of performance and operational readiness under both real and synthetic conditions.
In this context, IABG combines operational understanding with scientific methodology and technological expertise. Core competencies include Integrated Air & Missile Defence, UAS and Counter-UAS evaluation, future air combat systems, simulation and training environments, AI assurance, software and system solutions, as well as data-driven fleet management.
This creates a reliable basis for the development of military capabilities and the safe operation of complex systems.
SPACE
Space Test Centre
IABG supports the qualification and assurance of space systems, including components, payloads, and satellites of all classes. With the Competence Center Optics (CCO), we operate specialized test facilities for the performance evaluation of electro-optical systems under space conditions.
Drawing on more than 60 years of experience, IABG provides services and consulting in quality, program, and project management, as well as verification and qualification solutions – including integration into satellite production processes.
Geodata & Earth Observation
In addition, IABG develops geo-based solutions for the analysis of security-relevant scenarios. These include AI-supported situational awareness analysis, change detection, and the assessment of critical infrastructure resilience. Such capabilities support planning and decision-making processes in security-critical and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications.
Aviation
We support manufacturers, operators, and authorities in the analysis, qualification, and certification of complex aerospace systems. A particular focus lies on managing demanding qualification campaigns, which we oversee from planning and execution through to evaluation.
Key areas include the assurance of safety-critical functions, the assessment of networked avionics architectures, and the validation of new technologies under realistic operating conditions. In collaboration with companies of the IABG Group, we develop solutions for safe and low-emission aviation. Our methods include structural and functional testing, Structural Health Monitoring, and virtual approaches such as Digital Twin and Virtual Testing. By combining these approaches, systems can be analyzed comprehensively and interactions identified at an early stage. The objective is to provide transparent and regulatorily robust proof of system safety.
As a general contractor for test centers, we also deliver complex test bench infrastructures for the aerospace sector. Based on our experience in qualification and system assurance, we create integrated solutions ranging from concept development and planning to implementation and turnkey delivery. Each solution is consistently designed around the specific requirements of our customers.
