Force Protection Ashore
Abstract
Protection of the Navy Installations against terrorist activities requires development and deployment of advanced technology for force protection capabilities that are cost effective. Manpower costs of protection systems with today's technology are very high . Performance is not adequate to reduce vulnerability cost-effectively. This Antiterrorism and Force Protection Ashore Project will develop, demonstrate and validate technologies for the following: access control and perimeter denial; waterside protection against craft and swimmer intrusion; secure and efficient operations centers and emergency centers (including human and information support systems); construction integrated surveillance sensors and robotic systems for intruder detection; material systems to improve utilities security and recovery; and material concepts to reduce injury and death. Through demonstration and validation of risk modeling and simulation models, the potential of emerging technologies will be evaluated and installation security strategies that reduce manpower and other costs will be formulated. Installation protection concepts against attacks from the air will be identified and jointly demonstrated. These demonstrations and validations derive from advanced technology from science and technology programs of government academia and industry. The technology produces data for performance specifications for competitive procurement. All work will be coordinated with other programs and through industry forums as appropriate.
