"We continue to add new customers to our global client base," says Robert Postle, AS&E's vice president of worldwide marketing and sales "Our expanding sales force is building a greater awareness of our products, services, and proprietary technologies -- increasing sales channels and bolstering our pipeline of new opportunities. We now have a solid installed base of ZBVs in the Middle East, and this client has seen first-hand the system's proven effectiveness to find explosives and other contraband. The ZBV's exceptional versatility and explosives detection capability is ideal for their crucial mission to protect high-threat government facilities"

AS&E's Z Backscatter Van is a 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.
