The goal of the project was to develop and test a system for intelligence and rapid localization of hidden explosives production in urban centers. The system consists of multiple detectors networked to monitor air and wastewater. All information from the sensors is sent to a management center where it is analyzed in real time. If a hazardous substance is detected, information on the type of substance, its quantity and the location of detection is immediately available to the management center for appropriate management decisions.

The HYPERION project began in August 2012 and aimed to develop a broad-spectrum system for the recognition of improvised explosives.
The project developed and tested a system for analyzing a crime scene explosion. The HYPERION system provides information on the explosive used, its quantity and location. In addition, it makes it possible to identify and locate unexploded or suspicious materials at the site of a bomb attack.

The goal of the MEMFIS project was to prepare a miniature spectroscopic chemical sensor system based on a micro-FT-IR spectrometer that, based on mid-infrared spectroscopy, offers selectivity unrivaled by any other method. Combined with the inherent sensitivity of the FTIR spectrometer, devices of this type can find a wide range of applications from air condition monitoring to real-time security checks.
The spectrometer consists of innovative optical components based on micro-electromechanical systems technology, which enable the creation of very small and robust devices with ultra-fast scanning capabilities. Complementing the spectrometer module is the addition of a miniature source and an assigned high-sensitivity detector. With the addition of electronics, data evaluation, and the introduction of standardized interfaces for a variety of state-of-the-art IR sensors, the MEMFIS spectrometer has enabled the creation of a new high-performance spectroscopic sensor that represents a significant step forward in smart spectroscopic sensors, microsystem technology, and in oscillatory spectroscopy.

The goal of the project was to translate the latest developments in plasmonics from visible light to the mid-infrared range.
The main objectives of the project were:
- to look at fundamental limitations and develop new tools to simulate plasmons in the mid-infrared;
- to develop plasmonic-enhanced surfaces for spectroscopic sensing of chemicals;
- use of plasmonic-enhanced surfaces for optical concentrator technology.
