ZBV - Z Backscatter Van
A breakthrough in X-ray detection technology, AS&E’s Z Backscatter Van™ (ZBV) is a low-cost, extremely maneuverable 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 of suspect vehicles and objects while the ZBV drives past.
The ZBV Reveals Contraband and Threats Undetected by Other Systems:
- Car and truck bombs
- Explosives, plastic weapons, and other organic threats
- Radioactive threats, including nuclear devices and dirty bombs
- Illegal drugs
- Stowaways, such as illegal immigrants and terrorists
- Trade fraud items, such as alcohol, tobacco, and other legal goods smuggled to evade duties
