AS&E to supply ZBV Systems to international customers

American Science and Engineering (AS&E) has been awarded a series of contracts for delivery of its ZBV mobile inspection systems for customs and law enforcement applications.
 
Around 10 ZBV mobile inspection systems will be delivered by the company to customers in the Asia Pacific Region, the European Union, North America, and the Middle East.
 
AS&E president and CEO Chuck Dougherty said the international ZBV activity continues to grow with ten systems booked in targeted global markets.
 
"Leveraging our domain expertise, we are seeing tremendous interest in the ZBV platform in key regions from both new and repeat customers,” Dougherty added.
 
”These elite customers rely on the ZBV system’s proven Z Backscatter® detection capabilities to secure their borders and high threat checkpoints."
 
Introduced in 2003, the ZBV system is designed to detect vehicle borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), drugs, stowaways and other contraband in war zones and military bases as well as ports and borders.
 
Built into a delivery van, the mobile screening system is currently operational with the government agencies, border authorities, military bases, law enforcement departments and security agencies worldwide including US Customs and Border Protection, Abu Dhabi Customs, Nato Communications and Information Agency, Dutch Customs and Saudi Arabia.
 
More than 650 ZBV systems have been delivered to date by the company to over 128 different customers in 60 countries.
 
The contract’s value and additional details, including delivery schedule remain undisclosed.
