Physical Security Guards and Equipment
Abstract
This funding supports security guards mandated by regulation to guard ATEC's Fast Burst Nuclear Reactor (FBR) at WSTC located at WSMR IAW Army Regulation (AR) 190-54 (Security of Nuclear Reactors and Special Nuclear Materials) and Chemical and Biological (Chem/Bio) facilities at West Desert Test Center (WDTC) located at Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) IAW AR 190-59 (Chemical Agent Security Program) and AR 190-17 (Biological Agents and Toxins Security Program). These surety facilities maintain chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) materials and agents in order to test the effects and effectiveness of defensive or protective equipment and measures. The physical security equipment consists of electronic security systems composed of access/egress control systems, closed-circuit television (CCTV), sensors and detection arrays, and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Costs include sustainment of maintenance contracts for equipment not included in the Army inventory. This equipment is necessary to secure arms rooms, ammunition, explosives (AA&E) storage facilities at the FBR, and Chem/Bio surety sites. Physical security equipment is critical to maintain current security requirements as directed in AR 190-54, AR 190-59, AR 190-17, AR 190-11, AR 190-13, and AR 190-51.
