American Science and Engineering Inc. said it has received a Pentagon contract worth between $1.2 million and $1.8 million for a drive-through cargo and vehicle screening system.
The Billerica company specializes in X-ray detection technology, and it said it had received a contract from the Department of Defense for its Z Portal system.
Configured with proprietary three-sided Z Backscatter imaging, the Z Portal will be deployed at a security checkpoint to inspect for threats and contraband at a strategic defense department facility, the company said.
"We are pleased to work with DoD to provide them with their first Z Portal system," chief executive Anthony Fabiano said in a statement.
