Title: Utilization of emerging technologies in physical security systems. phase i--status report--system feasibility. Final report, 1 June-30 November 1980

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5398522

This is a report for the phase I portion of a four phase program. During Phase I, preliminary studies for using disturbed processing networks, adaptive learning networks and fiber optic data links in a fixed site physical security system were completed. A preliminary distributed processing network has been designed upon data requirements at a nuclear weapons storage site, and several hardware alternatives have been identified. This includes both the network node components, and the interconnecting fiber optic links. An example of an adaptive learnilng network was generated using available seismic and acoustic data. This example network has successfully trained to discriminate between personnel footfalls and noise sources such as vehicles, artillery and weather. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was generated showing the tradeoff between probability of detection and probability of false alarm.
