Innovations at work: our R&D department continuously seeks for unique and unparallel solutions to the difficult, risky, and challenging aspects of various scientific and engineering problems.  We put our innovative ideas together and strive to offer a realizable solution.

One of our current R&D efforts is focused on the development of advanced sensors for homeland security and anti-terrorism.  Such sensors have the capability of through-wall detection, i.e. detecting humans hiding behind a structure such as brick wall and other opaque materials. 

The through-wall capability is extremely vital in military urban operations. It is the fact that most casualties occurred during urban combats, i.e. door-to-door conflicts where there is a greater chance that enemies are waiting for an ambush behind a structure.  Through-wall sensors are therefore critical to provide total situational awareness in such cases.  Other applications include search and rescue missions such as finding victims buried under rubble.  Timely detection of life-form in such situation is crucial in order to save lives. 

Our unique and innovative solution allows for real-time operation with features such as 3-D location tracking, low-complexity, low-power and small form factor for portability.  Simultaneous tracking of multiple personnel are supported thus enabling instant detection and tracking for immediate response.  Networking option is also available to provide larger perimeter surveillance area.

Our R&D effort is also centered on sensor development intended for autonomous target detection, tracking and classification.  Our unique innovative approach allows for "smart" identification thus eliminating the need for tag device.  Bio-metric based classifications such as voice recognition and retina scan have been proven to be more effective than tag device such as badges or RFID tags.  Where badges can be lost or stolen, bio-metric characteristics are unique to each individual and non-interchangeable.  Much like "voice recognition", our approach exploits the micro-signatures that are unique to each target.    Applications include non-intrusive surveillance for media research, border patrol, and to monitor security sensitive areas such as labs, banks and others.
