29
Name the 4 types of interior IDS
- Volumetric Detectors - Detect changes in the environment in a particular area - Interior Barrier Protectors - Protect against amateur intruders (including infrared beams/trip wires) - Proximity Detectors - Provide point security and protect items inside a building - Operable Opening Switches - Used on doors, windows, and other similar openings
30
What are the 4 Exterior IDS Sensors?
- Fence Disturbance Sensors - Detect fence disturbances - Invisible Barrier Protectors - Detect motion within a specific area using microwave or infrared technology - Buried Line Sensor - Reacts to vibrations or pressure in a certain area (line buried) - Electric Field Sensor - Multiple wires, one with a current and the other a sensing mechanism. When something enters the electromagnetic field that is in the wire, the energy in the wire is disturbed and activates an alarm
31
Access Control System
Various types of access control systems! - Simplistic manual systems (non-electronic cipher lock) - Costly automated electronic systems (biometric devices)
32

Threat levels are identified as Low; Moderate; Significant; and High Threat levels are provided to senior leaders in order to assist in determining the appropriate FPCON level
44
What are the 4 Terrorist Threat Levels?
Low - No terrorist group is detected or the terrorist group is non-threatening Moderate - Terrorists are present but no indications of anti-U.S. activity (operating environment favors the host nation or the U.S.) Significant - anti-U.S. terrorists are present and they attack personnel as their preferred method of operation or a group uses large casualty-producing attacks as their preferred method, but has limited operational activity (operating environment is neutral) High - Anti-U.S. terrorists are operationally active and using large casualty-producing attacks (operating environment favors the terrorist)
