Middle East government agency awards American
Science and Engineering order to upgrade their ZBV fleet
with Tx-View for use in counterterrorism applications
Earlier this year American Science
and Engineering, Inc
(NASDAQ:ASEI) (“AS&E”) announced
the receipt of an order
from a Middle East government
agency to upgrade seven of its currently
deployed ZBV® mobile cargo
and vehicle inspection systems
with AS&E’s innovative Tx-View
option. The Tx-View option provides
simultaneous dual-energy
transmission imaging to complement
the ZBV system’s proven Z
Backscatter® imaging for enhanced
detection of metallic threats. The
ZBV systems with Tx-View will be
utilized in counterterrorism applications
to secure high-threat checkpoints,
facilities, and high-profile
events.
“The Tx-View option enhances
the ZBV system’s detection capabilities
for vehicle-borne improvised
explosive devices or VBIEDs, weapons,
and artillery shells, expanding
the application reach for military
and counterterrorism applications,”
said Chuck Dougherty, AS&E’s
President and CEO. “Tx-View —
like the CarView portal and the
next generation Z Portal® system
— is another new, multi-technology
offering that leverages our innovative
wavelength-shifting fiber
(WSF) X-ray detector technology
to further differentiate AS&E in the
security detection market.”
ZBV with Tx-View: Dual-energy
transmission option for the ZBV
system
AS&E’s Tx-View option for ZBV
provides Customs and security officials
with the lowest cost, most
versatile, multi- technology, mobile
cargo and vehicle screening
system available today. Deployed
quickly and easily, the Tx-View option
is completely self-contained in
a trailer for storage and transport.

ZBV with Tx-View uses patented
wavelength-shifting fiber (WSF)
X-ray detector technology to provide
dual-energy transmission
imaging for material discrimination.
WSF detector technology
has enabled the development of
more powerful, efficient, compact,
and rugged AS&E X-ray systems.

ZBV: Proven detection results
and an unmatched reputation for
reliability and effectiveness
The ZBV system is the number-one
selling cargo and vehicle screening
system in the world. With nearly
800 systems sold to date, AS&E’s
ZBV system is used by leading government
agencies, border authorities,
law enforcement personnel,
military organizations, and security
agencies in more than 65 countries.
Since its introduction, the ZBV system
has consistently received the
highest marks for quality, reliability,
performance, and safety with a
proven record of detection results.
