Personnel protection using interior activated barriers
This paper addresses equipment that will protect personnel and classified information in sensitive locations. The protection is afforded by a new type delay system called an Interior Activated Barrier (IAB). The interior activated barrier may be deployed with or in tandem with conventional hardline barriers. The total delay time afforded to protect personnel and information is measured in hours uniformly against attacks utilizing hand tools, power tools, and small explosives (less than four pounds). Delay is the central element in the defense of fixed installations. It provides valuable time in which to coordinate and execute orderly policies and procedures such as moving personnel into safe havens, destroying sensitive materials, bringing to bear outside security forces, and executing evacuations if appropriate.
