Abstract

A rear-seat air bag restraint device is disclosed that prevents an individual, or individuals, from continuing violent actions while being transported in a patrol vehicle's rear seat without requiring immediate physical contact by the law enforcement officer. The air bag is activated by a control switch in the front seat and inflates to independently restrict the amount of physical activity occurring in the rear seat of the vehicle while allowing the officer to safely stop the vehicle. The air bag can also provide the officer additional time to get backup personnel to aid him if the situation warrants it. The bag is inflated and maintains a constant pressure by an air pump.

Prototype air bag restraint for use in patrol vehicles

Technical Report Marts, D J ; Barker, S G

An air bag has been designed and laboratory tested for use in existing police vehicles that will restrain a person if he or she becomes violent. The device will prevent self-injury and protect the vehicle and officer. The device does not pose a suffocation hazard and can be quickly and easily inflated or deflated by the officer from the front seat. The device is ready for field testing.

Access control system operation

Conference Barnes, L D

An automated method for the control and monitoring of personnel movement throughout the site was developed under contract to the Department of Energy by Allied-General Nuclear Services (AGNS) at the Barnwell Nuclear Fuel Plant (BNFP). These automated features provide strict enforcement of personnel access policy without routine patrol officer involvement. Identification methods include identification by employee ID number, identification by voice verification and identification by physical security officer verification. The ability to grant each level of access authority is distributed over the organization to prevent any single individual at any level in the organization from being capable of issuing anmore »« less
Smart gun technologies: One method of eliminating unauthorized firearm use

Conference Weiss, D R

Law enforcement officers work each day with individuals who can become aggressive and violent. Among the worst scenarios, which occur each year and often raise national media attention, an officer has his handgun taken away and used against him. As many as 12 officers per year are killed with their own gun. This problem can be addressed through the integration of modern sensors with control electronics to provide authorized user firearms for law enforcement and even recreational uses. A considerable benefit to law enforcement agencies, as well as society as a whole, would be gained by the application of recommendedmore »« less
Guide for Cyber Assessment of Industrial Control Systems Field Devices.

Technical Report Stamp, Jason E. ; Stinebaugh, Jennifer ; Fay, Daniel Riley

Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other field devices are important components of many weapons platforms, including vehicles, ships, radar systems, etc. Many have significant cyber vulnerabilities that lead to unacceptable risk. Furthermore, common procedures used during Oper- ational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) may unexpectedly lead to unsafe or severe impacts for the field devices or the underlying physical process. This document describes an assessment methodology that addresses vulnerabilities, mitigations, and safe OT&E.
