American Science and Engineering Inc., a Billerica company specializing in X-ray detection technology, said it has received a $8.6 million follow-on order from Abu Dhabi Customs Administration for multiple Z Portal X-ray screening systems.

"The Z Portal systems will be used to scan vehicles at a strategic border checkpoint in Abu Dhabi, the largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates," the company said in a press release.

"The Z Portal system is the most comprehensive screening system available with multi-view, drive-through screening for left, right, and top-down imaging of cars, vans, trucks, and their cargo," the press release also said. "Z Portal's patented Z Backscatter technology produces photo-like images for superior detection capability of plastic and liquid explosives, narcotics, plastics weapons, drugs, stowaways, and alcohol."
