The Computerized Site Security Monitor and Response System (CSSMRS) was conceived as an integrated, state-of-the-art, computer based system to enhance and improve the overall physical security of storage sites for nuclear weapons and materials. This would result from the interconnection of all site security systems including intrusion detection equipment, duress alarms, guard radio and telephone systems, guard activity sensors, access control equipments, meteorological and environmental sensors and deterrent systems to a distributed processing network of computers. These would be expected to provide timely, accurate and unambiguous information about the site security status or the progress of an attack or intrusion attempt. To the extent that is feasible, appropriate response initiatives would be preprogrammed into the system. Changes in site security status and the resulting response actions would be automatically reported upchannel to higher command levels and backup and reserve forces would be automatically called out in the event of certain identifiable threat situations, particularly those in which continued survival of local guard forces might be doubtful.
