Nuclear & Conventional Phy Sec Equip

Abstract

The purpose of this program is the system development and validation 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. A number of RDT&E efforts arising from PE 0603161D8Z will transition to this PE 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 effort 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. The program element also supports all four Services' identification and redesign of developmental, non-developmental, and commercial-off-the-shelf equipment to meet physical security requirements. Activities within this program will seek to reduce risk associated with integrating, fielding, and supporting the equipment once it becomes a part of the overall security system.

Change Summary Explanation
Reprogramming was used to accommodate the maturation of PSE developmental items from advanced engineering development (BA 4) to system development and demonstration (BA 5). A reduction in PE 0603161D8Z funding reflects the additional funding in this PE.
