Detection and Assessment
Abstract
The ability to detect an adversary and assess their intentions is a basic physical security tenant. This capability area will design equipment to identify and warn of unauthorized access to a specified area or installation, as well as equipment related to the notification and identification of explosive threats or hazards. Accomplishment: The PSEAG and the National Nuclear Security Administration jointly developed a Portable Intrusion Detection System (PIDS) that addresses similar needs to protect nuclear weapons and special nuclear material. PIDS will provide a stable sensor platform that maintains the integrity of an existing secure perimeter in the event of sensor maintenance or system downtime. These include, but are not limited to, scheduled maintenance and upgrade activities for extended periods of time, or during emergency situations requiring the establishment of a National Defense Area; and mission requirements that dictate deployment of nuclear certified assets to locations that do not meet nuclear security requirements.
