Rapid, drive-by perimeter security is available with the breakthrough Z® Backscatter Van™, which is highly maneuverable and inconspicuously contained.
Since 9/11, the aviation market has been under intense scrutiny, specifically in regard to the security of carry-on baggage. However, recently it has become clear that air cargo also poses a significant threat.
AS&E addresses both issues with its CargoSearch™ and ParcelSearch™ lines of X-ray detection products. These systems combine traditional transmission X-rays with proprietary Z Backscatter technology, creating the most comprehensive threat detection solutions on the market today. Z Backscatter technology highlights organic threats, such as plastic weapons and explosives - materials that transmission X-rays can miss. Additionally, AS&E offers Radioactive Threat Detection (RTD) technology to combat dirty bombs and nuclear devices.
AS&E also provides Z Backscatter-only products for rapid, accurate X-ray inspection. The Z Backscatter Van (ZBV) is an affordable, highly maneuverable system that is ideal for airport perimeter checks. Built into an ordinary delivery van, the ZBV affords security officials the ability to screen cargo and vehicles simply by driving alongside and conducting X-ray imaging. In addition, AS&E's SmartCheck personnel inspection system detects weapons and explosives under clothing, and is currently being tested by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
Considered among the leaders in aviation security by CBS MarketWatch, AS&E continues to develop and deploy new technologies to meet emerging requirements in this industry.
