“Your Gateway to Israel’s Security Industry”

The Aerospace, Defense & HLS Department of Israel’s Export & International Cooperation Institute represents over 350 exporting companies in the homeland security arena. By providing a wide range of export-oriented services to Israeli companies, and complementary services to the international business community, the institute helps to build successful joint ventures, strategic alliances, and trade partnerships.

Homeland Security – Protecting Our Way of Life

Responding to the domestic, cross-border, and international terror threats that have
emerged in the years since 9/11, the majority of the world’s nations are now combating
security risks by increasing their investment in homeland security. The protection of
transportation, infrastructure, and strategic assets has, in particular, become a priority. Israeli technology, developed to safeguard Israel’s national security, is both sophisticated and innovative, and among the best in the world in this regard.

Aviation security, one of the most visible aspects of homeland security operations,
attracting significant investments in infrastructure, operations, and support. Such systems support the extensive efforts that are currently being invested in securing modern cities, by integrating existing surveillance capabilities with highly sophisticated situational awareness, and the command and control centers that empower "safe city" initiatives. These systems also work in collaboration with law enforcement, traffic management, and general security procedures in urban domains. In addition, cutting-edge information technology supports national biometric identification systems such as e-passports, which are currently being issued by several European and Asian countries.

Spearheading Homeland Security Technologies and Solutions

Israel’s domestic security is largely self-reliant, depending mainly on home-grown
defense and information technologies. Extending their leadership beyond Israel’s borders, Israeli companies are positioned among the world’s most creative innovators in almost every aspect of homeland security. Their fields of expertise include border protection and surveillance; virtual and physical perimeter protection systems for land-based and maritime sites; inspection systems for vehicle and cargo scanning at border crossings, airports, and seaports; countermeasures against potential terror attacks; IED/remote control bomb jammers; explosive ordnance disposal measures; ballistic armor protection; riot control solutions; non-lethal measures for law enforcement; and more.

Global Presence

The prominent position gained by Israel’s security industries is reflected in a growing
number of security projects that have been won by Israeli contractors in recent years.
Israeli companies are involved in border control projects worldwide, particularly in
the USA, Asia, and Latin America. Israeli-made physical protective and surveillance
equipment is supporting peacekeeping operations and the global war on terror, in
service with coalition forces operating worldwide. Moreover, Israeli security services
and technologies are securing major sports, entertainment, and mega-public events

Israeli security systems protect some of the major symbols of western
civilization, including Buckingham Palace, the Vatican, and the Eiffel Tower. These
systems also secure the largest aviation hubs in the world, including JFK (New York
City), Heathrow (London), and Changi (Singapore) airports. In addition, police and
counter-terror special units from countries around the globe are supported by Israel’s
security training providers.
