Ariel University of Samaria


" בטחון המולדת "



• The aim of the Center is to offer in one same place a critical mass of knowledge in the security-related fields in order to provide comprehensive solutions by developing new products and technologies for Homeland Security applications.

• The Center includes more than 20 high skilled scientists and engineers specializing in the different research fields


The goal : defending critical infrastructure The Center's primary focuses include:

• Critical infrastructure defense • Detection of concealed weapons and explosives • Port security • Border monitoring• Water and air pollution detection• Personal identification• Detection of under ground tunnels


The research groups are:

Electromagnetic radiation group - Visible and IR optics, MM-wave and THz imaging and detection, Spectroscopy

Robotics and mechatronics: developed an autonomous mobile platform for motion in tunnels and pipes

• Motion planning and navigation of intelligent vehicles

Materials research group - Plastics and polymers , Metal materials , Chemicals , Interaction of EM radiation with matter


The research groups are:

• Water and air monitoring

• Human behavior and psychology

• Biology

• Agro security

• Mathematics and data fusion

• Natural disasters (earthquakes)
