Better security starts with better technologies. Our X-ray inspection and radiation detection technologies drive the screening systems that can detect a multitude of threats and contraband.
Our proven technologies create the most comprehensive inspection systems in the marketplace.
We follow extraordinary safety procedures and rigorously adheres to standards designed to govern X-ray scanners for security applications, including ANSI, EURATOM, and ICRP. We also use independent organizations to certify that products meet the applicable radiation standards.
Transmission X-ray Technology
Transmission X-rays provide high-energy with high-performance for greater penetration and detection—even in dense cargo. Dual-energy transmission X-rays deliver excellent image quality as well as the ability to discriminate among different material types. Learn More
Z Backscatter X-ray Technology
Z Backscatter® technology, pioneered by AS&E, provides photo-like images that reveal organic threats and contraband, including explosives, plastic weapons, and drugs. Learn More
Complementary X-ray Technology
The combination of transmission and Z Backscatter imaging provides complementary information for improved manifest verification and threat detection. With multiple views and technologies that deliver high-resolution images with fine detail alongside images that provide shape and form and highlight organic threats, operators get a comprehensive view of the contents of the vehicle or cargo under inspection.
