About UsIARD HistoryIARD was established by a group of scientists and engineers that had worked together for many years in the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology. The group was established in the early 70's to advance Israel's capabilities in infra red radiometry. During these years this group supplied radiometric and signature measurement services to the Israeli ministry of defense. IARD was established as a private venture owned by its main scientists in 1998. Since then it continued in its original mission as well as broadening the scope of its activities.
