Standoff Distances for Buildings establish standards that provide minimum
levels of protection against terrorist attacks for the occupants of all DoD
inhabited buildings. Those UFC 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.
Security Engineering Facilities Planning Manual. UFC 4-020-01 Security
Engineering Facilities Planning Manual presents processes for developing the
design criteria necessary to incorporate security and antiterrorism features into
DoD facilities and for identifying the cost implications of applying those design
criteria. Those design criteria may be limited to the requirements of the
minimum standards, or they may include protection of assets other than those
addressed in the minimum standards (people), aggressor tactics that are not
addressed in the minimum standards, or levels of protection beyond those
required by the minimum standards. The cost implications for security and
antiterrorism are addressed as cost increases over conventional construction
for common construction types. The changes in construction represented by
those cost increases are tabulated for reference, but they represent only
representative construction that will meet the requirements of the design
criteria. The manual also includes a means to assess the tradeoffs between
cost and risk. The Security Engineering Planning Manual is intended to be
used by planners as well as security and antiterrorism personnel with support
from planning team members.
Security Engineering Facilities Design Manual. UFC 4-020-02 Security
Engineering Facilities Design Manual provides interdisciplinary design guidance
for developing preliminary systems of protective measures to implement the
design criteria established using UFC 4-020-01. Those protective measures
include building and site elements, equipment, and the supporting manpower
and procedures necessary to make them all work as a system. The information
in UFC 4-020-02 is in sufficient detail to support concept level project
development, and as such can provide a good basis for a more detailed design.
The manual also provides a process for assessing the impact of protective
measures on risk. The primary audience for the Security Engineering Design
Manual is the design team, but it can also be used by security and antiterrorism
personnel.
Security Engineering Support Manuals. In addition to the standards,
planning, and design UFC mentioned above, there is a series of additional UFC
that provide detailed design guidance for developing final designs based on the
preliminary designs developed using UFC 4-020-02. These support manuals
provide specialized, discipline specific design guidance. Some address specific
tactics such as direct fire weapons, forced entry, or airborne contamination.
Others address limited aspects of design such as resistance to progressive
collapse or design of portions of buildings such as mailrooms. Still others
address details of designs for specific protective measures such as vehicle
