ThEO

Welcome to ThEO

Due to climate change, the need for Smart Cities and robust infrastructure monitoring is greater than ever. The anticipated consequences of global warming, ranging from extreme weather events to rising sea levels, pose substantial challenges to urban environments and the infrastructure that sustains them. Smart Cities and infrastructure operators, equipped with innovative technologies and data-driven solutions, are poised to address and mitigate the impacts of climate change on urban infrastructure.

ThEO is a website conceived and maintained by OHB Digital Connect. It bundles the work results of several publicly funded projects in the context of adapting urban spaces and infrastructure to the consequences of climate change. As new projects are constantly being added to the portfolio, ThEO is being continuously expanded.

  • From Lab to Life: Ground Demonstration Brings Airborne Railway Monitoring System into Focus

    From Lab to Life: Ground Demonstration Brings Airborne Railway Monitoring System into Focus

    Following the successful flight campaign earlier in 2025, the next step in the project focused on demonstrating the system in a controlled laboratory environment—bringing complex airborne technology down to earth for closer inspection. For this phase, the full system was set up inside the OHB laboratory. Instead of being installed on an aircraft, the equipment…

  • Smart Skies, Safer Tracks: Airborne Innovation Takes Railway Safety to New Heights

    Smart Skies, Safer Tracks: Airborne Innovation Takes Railway Safety to New Heights

    In April 2025, an exciting milestone was reached as a live flight campaign took place over a museum railway line between Dornum and Norden in northern Germany, marking a major step forward in smarter railway monitoring. Unlike controlled test environments, this demonstration was carried out over a real railway corridor. The route runs through a mix of…
