Print Edition StoriesAmerican Science and Engineering Inc. reports it has landed $4.4 million from an unnamed U.S. government agency for maintenance on its cargo inspection vans. Under the contract, Billerica-based AS&E (Nasdaq: ASEI) will provide service and maintenance on its Z Backscatter Vans.
The Z Backscatter van system comprises a mobile X-ray screening system built into standard commercial vans to allow for “drive-by” inspection. One or two operators can conduct X-ray imaging while the ZBV drives past suspicious vehicles and objects. A remote console is also available for operating the system from a distance of up to 500 meters while the van is parked. The system’s scanner moves on rails past stationary vehicles and cargo to produce images from three sides — left, right, and top-down the company said.
Earlier this month, AS&E received the first order from an unnamed client for its Z Gantry multi-view Z Backscatter cargo and vehicle screening system. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Also this month, Billerica-based AS&E won a $6.3 million follow-on order from an unnamed client in the Middle East for an unspecified number of its Z Portal cargo and vehicle screening systems.
AS&E reported a fiscal 2008 net income of $17.5 million on revenue of $166.7 million.
