ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS
Kellogg, Brown & Root (KBR) Anti Terrorism Force Protection
The project involved the design and installation of a variety of Access Control Systems (ACS) and Electronic Security Systems (ESS) at sixteen (16) military locations on Guam. The objective was to significantly improve the security posture of the respective locations in accordance with the established Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (ATFP) standards.
The primary purpose of these systems was to provide new, and/or enhance existing Access Control and Monitoring of the sites. On some projects this included the installation of Cable Restrained Fencing. This was a chain link fence with all poles embedded in concrete, hooded with razor wire and reinforced with a 1” cable, stressed for impact and connected independently of the fence, by large concrete anchors.
Access to the site through the fence was controlled by motorized, crash resistant, cantilevered gates and turnstiles. Control of the gates and turnstiles was managed by a Receptors Access Control System. This included CAC (Common Access Card) and PIN Code Card Readers, Active Tag Vehicle Recognition systems and in some cases integrated Intercom Systems. Video overview of key areas of the sites was established with the integration of Closed Circuit Television Systems (CCTV).
Automated Housing sites involved no fence installations, but concentrated on providing unmanned Access Control and Monitoring. This was achieved through the installation of cable reinforced barrier arm gates, automated control of the existing wedge barriers and the introduction of card readers, vehicle tags and intercoms. This protection was further enhanced by the installation of Pan, Tilt and Zoom and Moon Dance cameras (Moon dance ballistic is a vandal-proof, ruggedized PTZ speed dome designed for extreme hostile environments and absolute PTZ performance.)
The Card Access Control System (CACS) component of these projects was the Receptors Alliance control panels. These panels were installed at almost every project included in this overview. The Receptors panels functioned as standalone systems.
