SECURITY ENGINEERING UFC SERIES
1-5.1
This UFC is one of a series of security engineering UFC manuals that cover
minimum standards, planning, preliminary design, and detailed design for security and
antiterrorism. The documents in Series 4-0xx are designed to be used sequentially by a
diverse audience to facilitate development of projects throughout the planning, design
and acquisition cycle. The manuals in this series are identified in the following
subsections.
1-5.2
DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings. UFC 4-010-01 and
UFC 4-010-02 (For Official Use Only--FOUO) establish standards that provide
minimum levels of protection against terrorist attacks for the occupants of all DoD
inhabited buildings. These UFCs are intended to be used by security and antiterrorism
personnel and design teams to identify the minimum requirements that must be
incorporated into the design of all new construction and major renovations of inhabited
DoD buildings. They also include recommendations that should be, but are not required
to be incorporated into all such buildings.
1-5.3
Security Engineering Facilities Planning Manual. UFC 4-020-01 (not
published at the time of this printing) presents processes for developing the design
criteria necessary to incorporate physical security and antiterrorism into DoD facilities
and for identifying the cost implications of applying the design criteria. The design
criteria may be limited to the requirements of the minimum standards, or they may
include:
Protection of assets (people) other than those addressed in the minimum
standards
Aggressor tactics that are not addressed in the minimum standards
Levels of protection beyond those required by the minimum standards
The cost implications for physical security and antiterrorism are addressed as cost
increases over conventional construction for common construction types. The changes
in construction represented by the cost increases are tabulated for reference, but they
cover only representative construction that meets the requirements of the design
criteria. The manual also includes a means to assess the tradeoffs between cost and
risk. The Security Engineering Facilities Planning Manual is intended to be used by
planners as well as physical security and antiterrorism personnel with support from
planning team members.
1-5.4
Security Engineering Facilities Design Manual. UFC 4-020-02 (not
published at the time of this printing) provides interdisciplinary design guidance for
developing preliminary protective measures systems to implement the design criteria
