- 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.
- AS&E offers highly advanced force protection technologies, with state-of-the-art systems that scan Mail, Parcels and Baggage; Cargo and Vehicles; and Personnel for explosive threats and other contraband.
- 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's leading-edge X-ray detection technologies support military organizations in their critical counterterrorism missions. AS&E systems are also deployed in force protection applications, to protect the armed forces domestically and overseas.
AS&E technology detects a wide range of threats - from handguns and ceramic knives, to explosives and radioactive devices. We provide X-ray systems to screen Cargo and Vehicles for threats before they are allowed entry onto a military base. We also offer inspection systems for Mail, Parcels and Baggage. SmartCheck, AS&E's personnel inspection solution, detects threats, such as composite weapons and plastic explosives, hidden under clothing.
AS&E also protects military specialists during high-threat counterterrorism missions. The breakthrough Z® Backscatter Van™ has the capability to scan for car and truck bombs, and with its option for remote operation, the operator is kept at a safe distance in extremely hazardous screening conditions.
In addition, AS&E enforces security regulations by preventing illegal drugs and alcohol from entering military facilities. Even in cluttered bags or crowded containers, patented Z® Backscatter technology provides photo-like images that highlight organic substances, which can go undetected using traditional transmission X-rays alone.
The U.S. Department of Defense utilizes AS&E's Cargo Inspection System enhanced with Radioactive Threat Detection at military bases for comprehensive, highly versatile force protection. The U.S. Air Force has selected AS&E's PalletSearch™ X-ray inspection system to inspect palletized cargo for terrorist threats at an Air Force Base in Europe.
