American Science and Engineering ("AS&E") announced the company has been awarded a contract from Abu Dhabi Customs for two OmniView Gantry cargo and vehicle inspection systems with dual-energy for material discrimination and one Z Portal cargo and vehicle screening system to protect the new Khalifa Port.

"AS&E is proud to support Abu Dhabi Customs by providing cargo and vehicle security solutions that will aid the Khalifa Port in becoming one of the world's leading and preferred megaports," said Anthony R. Fabiano, AS&E's President and CEO of AS&E. "We have a long-standing association with Abu Dhabi Customs and actively support their goal to balance minimum restrictions on trade while providing maximum security by utilizing the best inspection technologies. We are committed to working side-by-side with Abu Dhabi Customs to meet their stringent security requirements to secure their ports and borders from smuggling, trade fraud, and other threats.
