Vehicle Screening systems for counter terrorism operations

American Science and Engineering has received orders for five of the Company’s top-selling Z Backscatter Vans (ZBV) for Middle East and African government agencies. The ZBV cargo and vehicle screening systems will be used for counterterrorism missions.

“The ZBV system’s ability to effectively and safely detect threats, explosives, and contraband has been proven again and again,” said Anthony Fabiano, President and CEO of AS&E. “With its maneuverability, flexibility and ability to reveal terrorist threats and contraband, our ZBV system is an invaluable tool for counterterrorism operations.”

The ZBV system is used by government agencies, border authorities, military bases, law enforcement departments and security agencies worldwide. The US government has deployed hundreds of ZBV systems for homeland security and force protection applications to detect VBIEDs (vehicle borne improvised explosive devices), drugs, stowaways and other contraband in war zones, military bases, and on US ports and borders.
