Installation and Transport Security
Abstract
Robust installation and transport security are vital to preventing a weapon of mass destruction attack or the unauthorized access to key assets such as nuclear weapons and special nuclear material. This capability area will focus on programs and equipment intended to improve the physical security profile of fixed sites and facilities, as well as critical items while in-transit. Accomplishment: Joint Active Shooter Protection and Response project will integrate sensors to automatically detect indoor gunshots; provides potential victims, responders and authorized personnel with information to enhance situational awareness; and enable automatic or manual control of the building - inhibiting the shooter - shortening the duration of an active shooter. US Military Academy agreed to be used as a test bed for this effort and the results have wide ranging potential to be incorporated into soft or high value facilities.
