TUM Alliance for Security Research and the start-up Tytan featured on BR

In the news report "Defense Industry - A New Playing Field for Startups," Bayerischer Rundfunk highlights the growing landscape of security technology innovation in Munich. BR features the founding of the TUM Security and Defense Alliance as well as the TUM spin-off TYTAN Technologies.

Bayerischer Rundfunk
Through new partnerships and the promotion of spin-offs, TUM is contributing to technological sovereignty and modern security research.

The TUM Security and Defense Alliance, launched by the Technical University of Munich together with the University of the Bundeswehr Munich and numerous industry and technology partners, pools expertise from science, business and the start-up scene in order to strengthen Europe's security and defense capabilities in the long term. It strategically integrates key capabilities in the fields of aerospace, land, and naval forces, as well as cyberspace, and information operations.

In its "mehr/wert" segment, BR covers the founding of the alliance and also introduces the startup TYTAN Technologies, which develops AI-powered defensive drones. The young company, founded by TUM graduates, is working with the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Bundeswehr, among others, to develop new defense systems against unmanned aerial vehicles.

The BR report thus illustrates how TUM contributes to technological sovereignty and modern security research through new alliances and the promotion of spin-offs.
