Physical Security Equipment
Abstract
This program is a budget activity level 4 based on the concept/technology development activities ongoing within the program. The purpose of this program is to develop physical security equipment (PSE) systems, to include Force Protection, 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 individual Service and joint PSE requirements. The PSE program is organized so that members of the physical security equipment action group (PSEAG), which consist of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) representatives monitors, directs and prioritizes potential and existing PSE programs. OSD program oversight is provided by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (AT&L) and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USD(I)). With few exceptions, each Service sponsors RDT&E efforts for technologies and programs that have multi-service application. This program element supports the Army's advanced engineering development of Interior and Exterior Detection, Security Lighting, Security Barriers and Security Display Units. In a like manner, the program element also supports the Air Force's PSE RDT&E effort in the areas of Exterior Detection/Surveillance, Entry Control, Delay/Denial, Tactical Systems and Airborne Intrusion. Finally, the program supports Navy RDT&E efforts in the areas of Waterside Security, Explosive Detection, and improved technology for Locks, Safes and Vaults. Beginning with FY 1997, this PE includes funding for Force Protection Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (FP COTS) evaluation and testing, which has received focus since the 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist bombing incident. The FP COTS testing applies to all available technologies, which are considered effective for DoD physical security use.
