Computerized site security monitor and response system. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6153585
An integrated, state-of-the-art, computer-based system has been defined to enhance and improve the overall physical security of storage sites for nuclear weapons and materials. It would provide for the interconnection of a distributed network of computers with a survivable, fiber optics communications network. This distributed processing system would monitor and control the various physical security sub-systems on the site, including intrusion alarms and alarm assessment subsystems, access control equipments, deterrent systems. Sensors responsive to meteorological and environmental stimuli are provided to permit the use of correlation techniques to identify certain classes of nuisance alarms. The system is intended to provide timely, accurate and unambiguous information about the site security status or the progress of an attack or intrusion attempt and to provide local security forces with appropriate preprogrammed response initiatives.
