American Science and Engineering (AS&E) has been selected by an Middle East international government agency as the security systems integrator to secure a major international port.

Under the $24.6m prime contract, AS&E team will deliver and deploy an integrated and comprehensive detection solution to scan cargo and vehicles entering the port.

Integrated with multiple technologies such as AS&E’s Sentry Portal high throughput cargo and vehicle screening systems, the detection solution will feature subcontractors’ radiation portal monitors and highly optimised lane camera and video management systems.

AS&E president and CEO Anthony Fabiano said that the customer will deploy leading-edge technologies to enhance the quality and efficiency of port logistics and security processes.
