- AS&E combines superior, proprietary technologies - including signature Z Backscatter™ and Radioactive Threat Detection - to reveal threats that other systems miss, such as explosives, plastic weapons, dirty bombs, and nuclear WMD.
- To address classified and dangerous security missions, AS&E provides X-ray inspection systems that operate covertly and remotely (e.g., Z Backscatter Van™).
- AS&E offers comprehensive training packages, including Threat Detection Specialist (TDS) certification courses and the new Emerging Threats Seminar, to address the challenges that homeland security professionals face in the field.
Terrorism has tested the limits of existing homeland security programs in recent years. As governments and corporations increase security efforts to meet new requirements, terrorists seek new, more elusive ways to smuggle weapons, explosives and other threats. AS&E is dedicated to helping customers meet these new challenges with the best detection technologies available.
AS&E X-ray inspection systems reveal anomalies that could pose a threat inside baggage, cargo containers, and vehicles, as well as on people. Proprietary Z Backscatter™ technology creates photo-like images to highlight explosives and plastic weapons that competitive systems miss. Traditional Transmission X-rays reveal inorganic, dense metal objects. In addition, Radioactive Threat Detection (RTD) technology combats dirty bombs and nuclear WMD, even when heavily shielded.
Our customers include government agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Defense, as well as private companies enhancing security, such as the Container Port of Sokhna in Cairo, Egypt.
