Efficient cooperation between homeland security forces and BOS units
Frankfurt, 06.02.2025 - This year, Droniq GmbH has organized the "EISWOLF", a night
night orientation exercise with a competitive character in Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein, supported. Droniq's task was to digitally visualize the drones of the 20 participating BOS forces forces and thus ensure the safe use of drones. These were to support the deployed homeland security forces with reconnaissance flights during the exercise.
Digital visibility of drones
The digital visibility and safe coordination of drones is the core criterion for the drone to continue to establish itself as a work tool," says Droniq CEO Jan-Eric Putze. "We are delighted that we were able to demonstrate during the "EISWOLF" exercise that even large-scale operations with a large number of drones can be carried out safely at any time."
To make the BOS drones visible and traceable, Droniq equipped them with a drone tag. This tracker is integrated into Droniq GmbH's drone traffic management system via mobile radio. In addition, the drone tag transmits the position via Broadcast Remote ID. Among the BOS forces equipped were the information and communication unit (IUK) of the North Friesland district disaster control and Schleswig fire department.
In combination with the TraX live air situation system, also provided by Droniq, the participating BOS forces were able to track the flight movements of their drone at all times. At the same time, TraX shows the drone pilots the surrounding manned and unmanned air traffic. A collision warning also informs the drone pilot of approaching air traffic at an early stage so that they can take evasive action if necessary.
In addition to the BOS forces, Droniq also made the live air situation available to the emergency services of the German Armed Forces and the Federal Police, which provided reconnaissance with a helicopter. Droniq also provided live transmissions to the operations center, where it coordinated the interaction between manned and unmanned air traffic during the event.
Reservist exercise "EISWOLF"
The "EISWOLF" reservist exercise is a large-scale exercise with a competitive character organized by the
Bundeswehr. The aim of the exercise is to improve physical performance, military knowledge and
basic military skills and to prepare for new challenges
and align them. The exercise also aims to practice and intensify cooperation between German and foreign soldiers as well as cooperation with BOS forces. This year, a total of 154 competitors, made up of reservists and active soldiers from seven European countries, took part in the event.
