How do modern security technologies work together under realistic operational conditions? This was the question addressed at Bayern Innovativ’s Defense TechDay on October 22, 2026, at Erding Air Base. The Mobility & Logistics Cluster was on site to gain insights into current developments and potential opportunities for the regional economy.
Coordinated live demonstrations showcased applications ranging from satellite-based reconnaissance and early warning to the protection of mobile forces and the securing of stationary targets. The focus was on sensor technology, AI-supported data processing, autonomous systems, and reliable communication. The program also addressed hybrid threats and civil-military cooperation in the protection of critical infrastructure.
For companies in the mobility, logistics, and manufacturing sectors, this presents potential avenues for applying existing expertise to security-related applications. The emphasis on system integration underscores that, in addition to high-performance individual components, their interaction, suitable interfaces, and alignment with specific operational requirements are crucial.
The visit provided technical insights for the cluster’s ongoing work at the intersection of civilian technologies and security and defense applications.
