Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics, Ernst-Mach-Institut, EMI

• Applications in the fields of defense, security and resilience, automotive, space and aviation
• 395 employees at three locations

The Ernst Mach institute researches fast-moving processes in experiments and simulations. The focus of the research is on increasing safety and resilience.

In particular, processes that occur in fractions of a second, such as car crashes, battery explosions or collisions in space, are being researched. Based on this, the institute develops safety concepts.

Fraunhofer EMI analyzes modern concepts of protection and new materials for high-dynamic loading and develops sensor technology for ballistic application.

Meteorites and space debris threaten spacecraft and satellites. At Fraunhofer EMI, we investigate hypervelocity impacts in order to improve the security of space systems.

Fraunhofer EMI offers analysis and optimization of safety at the cell, module and overall system levels.

Fraunhofer EMI analyzes socio-technical systems using numerous modeling approaches. They are then implemented in software applications..

The Fraunhofer EMI is the spokesperson institute of the LZN.
