requested data, satellite imagery, aerial photographs, thermal surveys, highly accurate surface models from LiDAR and radar interferometry etc. are available. For example, remote sensing systems for protection forest monitoring with the detection of forest parameters can be used as the planning basis for protection forest management by various evaluation methods. After a catastrophic event, building damage and damage to infrastructure can be detected automatically by remote sensing-based data. In the event of a flood, a real-time detection of the flood stop line can be performed. The harmonization of this data is expediently implemented in a Geographical Information System (GIS). Within this GIS, conclusions can be drawn from the observations using geoinformation methods as well as the documentation of damage events. Navigation as part of this field of technology deals with outdoor and indoor navigation, whereby outdoor navigation part is often seen as a synonym for GPS. However, this would severely restrict research in the field of outdoor navigation, since independent systems, for example Inertial Measurement Systems (IMU) are also be developed using complex filter methods. Indoor navigation plays an important role in the field of robotics, for example. Since satellite-based positioning methods can not be used within buildings, indoor navigation technology has to be used. Autonomous robots in the object exploration of fire in buildings, must be able to navigate and move autonomously with the help of optical and acoustic sensors. 4.4. SENSORS & SENSOR CARRIERS In order to prevent catastrophes, the establishment of a monitoring network is of crucial importance. Applied to the disaster research carried out within the framework of the DCNA, these are the engineering supervision of large-scale structures and the monitoring of non-slip slopes in the catchment area of infrastructure. Geodetic technologies and methods provide the means to cushion the impending catastrophe very promptly and initiate countermeasures. In this case, Unmanned System (UxS) based carrier platforms such as drones or robots can be used to meet the temporal resolution requirements to the data. Fires or the discharge of hazardous substances can be localized by means of thermal sensors or chemical detectors to be made available to field forces. 4.5. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, COMMUNICATION & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY This technology group includes the construction of information systems, such as a river information system such as the "Danube River Information Service" as well as the construction and operation of communication technologies in the event of a disaster. Information systems are designed to allow interoperability between civilian and military organizations in disaster management and to provide an interface to government agencies and scientific institutions. Thus, it is possible for experts to assess damage potential and vulnerability. 670
