Nuclear & Conventional Phy Sec Equip

Abstract

The purpose of this program is the advanced engineering development of conventional and nuclear physical security equipment (PSE) systems for all DoD components. This program supports the protection of tactical, fixed, and nuclear weapons systems, DoD personnel and DoD facilities. The funds are used to provide PSE RDT&E for continuing and evolving individual Service and joint PSE requirements that provide capability in the areas of force protection and tactical security equipment; robotic security systems integration; waterside security systems; explosive detection equipment; locks, safes and vaults; commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) testing; and nuclear weapons security. Many RDT&E efforts arising from this PE will transition to PE 0604161D8Z for system demonstration and validation. The PSE program is organized so that representatives from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) monitor, direct and prioritize potential and existing PSE programs through the auspices of the Physical Security Equipment Action Group (PSEAG) and the Security Policy Verification Committee (SPVC). With few exceptions, each Service sponsors RDT&E efforts for technologies and programs that have multi-Service application. This program element supports: 1) the Army's PSE RDT&E efforts in the areas of Interior and Exterior Detection, Security Lighting, Security Barriers and Security Display Units; 2) the Air Force's PSE RDT&E efforts in the areas of Exterior Detection/Surveillance, Entry Control, Delay/Denial, Tactical Systems and Airborne Intrusion; 3) the Navy's PSE RDT&E efforts in the areas of Waterside Security, Explosive Detection, and improved technology for Locks, Safes and Vaults; and 4) DTRA's PSE RDT&E efforts that enhance the security of Navy and Air Force nuclear assets. This PE also funds Force Protection Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (FP COTS) evaluation and testing, which has received additional focus since the 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist bombing incident. The FP COTS testing applies to all available technologies that are considered effective for DoD physical security use.
