12.3 Fencing

secure fencing must meet force protection requirements

Fences are used as protective measures against project-specific threats.  They are most appropriately used to define boundaries and to deter penetration of a secure area.  A fence will assist in controlling and screening authorized access to a secured area.

Fences also serve the purposes listed below.

• As a platform for the Intrusion Detection System.

• As a screen against explosive projectiles.

• To stop moving vehicles (must be reinforced to do so).

Plants with tall growth habits and/or large mature growth will be located well away from security fences.
