American Science and Engineering, Inc. Receives U.S. Government Service and Maintenance Renewal Orders for ZBVs and ZBV Mil Trailers Valued at $6 Million
Z Backscatter Systems Continue to Support Critical Counterterrorist Missions in Harsh Environments
American Science and Engineering, Inc. (AS&E), a leading worldwide supplier of innovative X-ray detection solutions, announced today the receipt of service and maintenance renewal orders valued at $6.0 million from the U.S. government for Z Backscatter Vans (ZBV) and ZBV Military Trailers, a rugged version of the Company's top-selling mobile X-ray screening system.
"We are proud to continue our work servicing ZBV's and ZBV Military Trailers in support of the U.S. government's counterterrorism missions," said Anthony Fabiano, President and CEO. "These service teams consistently exceed contractual commitments with outstanding operational readiness in harsh environments, which is essential to maintaining the ZBV's high levels of performance for explosives detection."
AS&E's Z Backscatter Van (ZBV) The Most Maneuverable, Versatile Mobile X-ray Detection System on the Market
A breakthrough in X-ray detection technology, AS&E's Z Backscatter Van is the number one selling non-intrusive mobile inspection system on the market. ZBV is a low-cost, highly mobile screening system built into a commercially available delivery van. The ZBV allows for immediate deployment in response to security threats, and its high throughput capability facilitates rapid inspections. The system's unique 'drive-by' capability allows one or two operators to conduct X-ray imaging while the ZBV drives past suspect vehicles and objects. For personnel safety in dangerous environments, a remote console is available for operating the system in stationary mode from a distance of up to 500 meters.
ZBV Military Trailer
A ruggedized version of the Z Backscatter Van, the ZBV Military Trailer is an X-ray screening system built onto a standard military trailer. Security officials can use the ZBV Military Trailer for screening vehicles, containers, and other cargo for terrorist threats and contraband - simply by towing the trailer past the subjects, or by remaining stationary while vehicles drive past the trailer. The system employs AS&E's patented Z Backscatter technology, which produces photo-like images of the contents of a container or vehicle, highlighting organic materials such as explosives and other high-risk materials.
AS&E's Worldwide Service and Support
AS&E's highly skilled Field Service Engineers (FSEs) provide support services worldwide. Each FSE, with a technical degree in electrical and mechanical engineering or equivalent experience, is trained in the operation and repair of electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, mechanics, electrical systems, and computers. Available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, FSEs are located at AS&E offices in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
