About Furtherium
We are Furtherium, a startup from Ismaning, and we are working to make the world safer. In the past, mainly experts from the German Armed Forces and the US military were willing to discuss our ideas with us. But times have changed. Nowadays, we are receiving increasingly more inquiries from research organizations, investors, and media in Germany. More and more people are recognizing that the war in Ukraine and the Middle East is not a short-term phenomenon. Air threats are beginning to test the limits of existing defense systems. Roboticized systems and AI for controlling drones in the air, on the surface, and underwater have already shown that vulnerabilities exist practically everywhere. What we focus on We are developing an AI-controlled aerial platform that is lighter than air and can carry high payloads. Its aerodynamic properties and endurance enable it to continuously protect critical infrastructure, borders, and sea routes over months – against all types of threats, including ballistic and cruise missiles, drones, manned aircraft, as well as land- and sea-based attack systems. Another project of ours helps overcome the cognitive limits of humans. It simultaneously provides users with results from machine perception via sensors that are not accessible to humans (sight, hearing, radio frequency spectra), as well as options for discreet communication and rapid decision-making. This technology is not only relevant for the military, but also for firefighting, emergency medicine, and police. Dual-use Possible applications range from defense, border protection, and maritime security to search and rescue operations, combating large-scale forest and structural fires, evacuations from skyscrapers or mountain regions, and disaster relief (floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, snowstorms, industrial accidents). Other fields of application include the transport of heavy and oversized loads, high-altitude assembly (sky crane), agriculture, scientific research (oceanography, meteorology, observation of animal migration and protection of rare species, supply of Antarctic missions and remote research stations), as well as numerous other industries.
