The AS&E’s Z Backscatter Van™(ZBV™) is an extremely maneuverable screening system built into a commercially available delivery van. The ZBV uses proprietary Z Backscatter™ technology to highlight organic threats and contraband such as explosives, smuggled cigarettes, and drugs. The ZBV that does not require a detector on the far side of the scanned object can scan a vehicle or object in as little as 15 seconds. As the ZBV drives by a suspect object, an X-ray image appears on the operator’s console — in real time.The ZBV can also find dirty bombs and nuclear WMD during the X-ray screening process, utilizing its Radioactive Threat Detection (RTD) option.
