Pillar Analysis
Strategic Assessment
Strategic Vector
Lingacom is pursuing focused commercialization of passive cosmic-ray muon imaging for security inspection, nuclear-threat detection, and underground surveying. The company remains a small Israeli deep-tech operator, with recent secondary investment indicating renewed investor interest but not necessarily fresh operating capital.
Efficiency Ratio
The company appears resource-efficient, maintaining a specialized product and multiple application areas with a very small team, although public evidence of scaled deployments and recurring revenue remains limited.
Evidence Signals
Shviro Global Technologies made its first reported investment in Lingacom through a secondary share purchase associated with a newly raised defense-focused investment fund; the transaction reportedly bought existing shares rather than providing new operating capital.
Background · older than 12 months
Lingacom participated in the EU-funded COSMIC program with Technion, Ben-Gurion University, and CNB-CSIC/Yale to develop a multi-sensor system for detecting CBRNE materials in shipping containers.
Lingacom and Rapiscan Laboratories developed a combined radiographic and muon-detection system integrating radiation-free muon imaging with existing X-ray inspection systems.
Lingacom installed and tested a muon scanner at Haifa Seaport to detect shielded nuclear and radioactive materials in shipping containers as part of the European COSMIC project.
Lingacom was awarded a €1 million Horizon 2020 SME Instrument contract to develop an advanced muon-based vehicle-scanning solution.
- About
- Lingacom is an Israeli company founded in 2012, based in Ramat HaChayal, Tel Aviv, that develops and manufactures muon-based detection solutions. The technology uses naturally occurring cosmic ray muons — passive, radiation-free — to detect high-Z materials such as shielded nuclear and radioactive materials ("dirty bombs") hidden in containerized cargo and vehicles. Defense and homeland security applications include seaport, airport, and border crossing inspection. Also serves civil engineering (underground soil density imaging) and mineral exploration markets. Participated in the EU-funded COSMIC program for CBRNE detection in shipping containers and the IMPRINT program for preventing nuclear material theft. Based in Tel Aviv with 2-10 employees.
- Relevancy
- Highly relevant — passive, radiation-free detection of shielded nuclear and radioactive materials in cargo and vehicles at ports, borders, and sensitive sites. Addresses CBRNE threat detection for force protection and homeland security. EU COSMIC and IMPRINT program participant.
