The University of the Bundeswehr Munich (UniBw M) was founded in 1973 at the request of the then Federal Minister of Defence, Helmut Schmidt, under the name "University of the Bundeswehr Munich". It is one of two universities that the Bundeswehr has for the training of its officer candidates and young officers. The university is part of the civilian human resources department and is assigned to the Federal Ministry of Defence. UniBw M founded a new "Center for Digitalization and Technology Research of the Bundeswehr" (dtec.bw) on 11 August 2020. dtec.bw is part of the economic stimulus programme of the Federal Government to overcome the COVID-19 crisis and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Defence (BMVg) with research funds from the economic stimulus programme. dtec.bw is financed by the European Union. The MORE project is funded by dtec.bw. As part of the Munich Mobility Research Campus (MORE) project, UniBw M is pursuing a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to developing and evaluating sustainable, efficient and safe mobility of the future on a model campus that is divided into the closely interlinked research aspects of energy and propulsion, space and transport, connectivity and autonomy, as well as opportunities and impacts. In published research projects, the topic of mobility is usually only examined from one perspective: Either from the point of view of spatial planning, transport systems, energy supply, drive technology, autonomy or networking. Rarely are several aspects linked. A holistic consideration and discussion of the mobility of the future with relevant technologies as well as opportunities and effects does not take place. In addition, these projects in turn largely focus on the civilian sector, the requirements and effects on the Bundeswehr as well as their link with civil mobility are not mapped. This is where MORE starts with the UniBw M campus: With its residential, working, research and leisure quarters, the versatile test site (for civil and military applications) and the employees who settle in from the outside, the campus is a model city for the holistic, interdisciplinary development and testing of a sustainable, fully digitized and networked civil and military mobility of the future, the necessary transport systems and infrastructure as well as the basic digital development and test methodology for all subsystems. The aim of MORE is the holistic demonstration of a sustainable and environmentally friendly mobility of the future on the campus of UniBw M. Based on the requirements of the users of the model city (students, researchers, administration, employees) and a modern army as well as the climate and sustainability goals of the Federal Government, MORE offers all necessary subsystems within the framework of the four research aspects of energy and drive, space and transport, networking and autonomy as well as their opportunities and effects. The holistic view of the life cycle of the relevant technology modules and methods provides unique data on the effects on humans and the environment of the subsystems under development and the overall system "mobility" during the duration of the project and thus has a direct impact on the development itself: Which concepts already meet the requirements, which require further optimization or basic research before they can be further developed into demonstrators. The innovative subsystems will be integrated into the daily routine of UniBw M in order to continuously develop the entire campus into a digital, highly networked and sustainable model city. For example, a CO2-neutral energy generation will be demonstrated, the MORE vehicles will be equipped with new battery-electric and hybrid drives, the MORE sensors on campus and the MORE apps with user requests will be used to optimize traffic flows and transport routes, and the distribution of mail and goods will be optimised using autonomous shuttles and robots. In the further course, these technologies will be further developed for use in the military and can be tested on the test site (including with a test track for tracked vehicles). As part of the MORE project, UniBw M has upgraded the hydrogen infrastructure at the Chair of Vehicle Operations to state-of-the-art technology. These are highly complex systems that JA-Gastechnology GmbH (JAG) has specially designed to meet the requirements of UniBw M. In order to ensure the function and safety of the plant, regular inspection and maintenance of the plant components in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications is essential. The subject of the contract is the inspection and maintenance of the entire hydrogen plant for the generation, storage and supply of the test benches and the combined heat and power plant (CHP) of the laboratory for vehicle propulsion with hydrogen. The contractor must, by the end of 2026, provide in particular the following services: - regular inspections of the hydrogen plant as a whole; - maintenance and servicing for all hydrogen supply components, including pressure vessels, pipes, safety valves and control systems (three maintenance and servicing intervals in total); - Safety check with regard to all safety-relevant aspects of the entire hydrogen plant in accordance with the regulations and standards valid at the time of the test UniBw M has a budget of a maximum of EUR 360,000.00 (net) for all services. UniBw M reserves the right to cancel the procedure due to inefficiency if the initial offer or one of the following binding offers exceeds the cost ceiling of EUR 360,000.00 (net).
