ISL : Research for Security and Defence
The French-German Research Institute is a bi-national institution established by the Federal Republic of Germany and the French Republic on the basis of a treaty signed in 1958 (see). The original mission of the ISL was: "Research, scientific studies and basic predevelopment in the armament domain".
The classical working areas of ISL include: laser-matter interaction, laser development, detonics, perforation, protection, ballistics, the environment and protection of the soldier, acoustics, power electronics, high power microwaves, aerodynamics and flight mechanics, optronics, sensors.
Recently the ISL has reinforced its activities on problems of civil security and counter-measures against terrorism encountered both at home and during overseas military operations.
The institute is situated in Southern Alsacia near the German and Swiss border (see) ----------------
