Research: UAV-based Detection of Underwater Objects
The identification of underwater objects is possible through several ways like SONAR as well as magnetic detection. Modern unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) allow to test magnetic measurements in underwater environments without relying on a ship. Some challenges can arise for the needed equipment with magnetic sensors (magnetometers), the control of an actively flying UAV and the (digital) signal processing. Noise reduction, autonomous data collection and its presentation are the main topics of the research. Applications range from locating historical munitions to monitor military actions, e.g. submarines.

In March 2026, the DSS Chair attended the annual DAGA conference in Dresden. Thanks to the support of the GaS-Club, the student Aylin Kösker was given the opportunity to accompany the chair and participate in the conference from March 23rd to March 26th. As part of the daily poster sessions, she presented the results of her bachelor’s thesis “Machine Learning for the Analysis of Hydrographic Data to Assess the Waterside Accessibility of Port Waters” in the field of Underwater Acoustics. The thesis forms an important basis for an ongoing university research project on the acoustic analysis of sediment properties in harbor areas. The poster session enabled valuable discussions with researchers and conference participants from related research fields.
