Form C relay and can be used for applications where longer range is required.
e. Audio sensors: Sensors shall consist of microphones which detect audio information and
transmit signals to an audio amplifier in a central control unit. Multiple units may be connected
to a central control unit. Audio sensors shall be designed to be especially sensitive to generic
audio intrusion signature of [breaking glass] [splintering wood] [fracturing of cement block]

little additional actual detection capability for a specific application.
g. Video motion detection System (VMD): Video motion detection capabilities range from basic
activity detection to the search through massive databases to pre-empt serious incidents. VMD
capabilities have become a standard feature of common DVR's. VMD algorithms are a software function,
they are programmed into chips and boards that can be installed in IP cameras, stand-alone modules,
digital video recorders and dedicated computer processors. VMD is also available as software
for installation in off-the-shelf computers. The complexity of these products varies greatly.
The IP cameras provide a separate output on basic activity detection, while the PC-based software
and modules provide graphic identification of the identified movement, user-selectable monitored
areas, compensation for environmental movement, and a host of other features.
(1) Basic motion detection: Basic motion Detection typically recognizes any type of motion in
the video field. A single output then activates automatic call-up to the monitor screens of
surveillance personnel or initiates automatic DVR recording. The video call-up is no longer
limited to cabled CCTV systems, but can be transmitted via the network LAN or WAN. Many basic
DVRs can search and retrieve records of movement or activity on their stored hard drives. These
features are often found on off-the-shelf equipment, are economical, and have limited applications.
(2) Advanced VMD: Advanced VMD products enhance the concepts of basic motion detection and can,
when properly applied and operated, provide innovative, effective solutions to security issues.
Most of these features result from elaborate algorithms that search out detailed movement patterns
and only activate a system response under very specific conditions. Capabilities include:
a. Intruder Identification: Identifying unauthorized humans in specified areas of the field
of view.
b. Environmental Compensation: Recognizing and ignoring wind-blown debris, animals, background
traffic, etc.
c. Counting: Recognizing a quantity of a particular object moving or activity performed.
d. Directional Identification: Ignoring objects moving in one direction, while alarming for
objects moving in unauthorized directions.
e. Item Recognition: Activating when specific user-selected items are removed from, placed in,
or passed through the field of view.
f. Subject Tracking: Highlighting and following a specific person or item as it moves about
the field of view, or from the field of view of one camera to another.
g. Multiple Subject Tracking: Highlighting and following multiple persons or items simultaneously
as they move about the field of view, or from the field of view of one camera to another.

(until corrected) tamper alarm.
[d]. Electrostatic field sensors: Sensors shall initiate an alarm when an intruder attempts
to approach or scale a fence or physical barrier. Electrostatic field sensors shall detect
human presence by generating an electric field around one or more horizontal wires and sensing
the induced signal in parallel sensing wires. Sensor shall monitor the induced signal for changes
that result from the presence of a conductive body, or a body with a high dielectric constant
such as the human body, which distorts coupling between transmitting and sensor wires. Sensor
components shall consist of one or more signal generator field wires and mounting hardware,
sensing wires, an amplifier/signal processor, power supplies, and necessary circuitry hardware.
Mounting and support hardware shall be provided by the equipment manufacturer. Wires shall
be spring tension-mounted and provided with end-of-line terminators to detect cutting, shorting,
or breaking of the wires. Sensor configuration shall be selected such that an intruder cannot
crawl under the bottom wire, through the wires, or over the top wire without being detected
and shall be divided into sensor zones. Sensors shall be capable of following irregular contours
and barrier bends without degrading sensitivity below the specified detection level. In no
case shall a single sensor zone exceed 100 meters or be long enough to significantly degrade
sensitivity. Adjacent zones shall provide continuous coverage to avoid a dead zone. Adjacent

foot to 10 feet per second. Sensor shall detect intruder attempts to cross potential dead zones,
such as between adjacent zones or in the vicinity of posts with the minimum specified performance
or better. Sensor shall provide some means of indicating an alarm at the protected perimeter
to facilitate installation and calibration. Provide an indicator disabling device within a

[e]. Taut-wire sensors: Sensors shall consist of a perimeter intrusion detection sensor incorporated
into a barbed wire security fence. Intrusion detection shall be achieved by cutting of any single

mm [7] [_____] foot high parallel fence with each sector consisting of [13] [_____] horizontal
barbed wires attached to the taut-wire fence posts, and three strands as outriggers, plus an
"antiladder" trip wire supported by rods extending from the outriggers for a total vertical
height of approximately [2440] [_____] mm [8] [_____] feet. Displacement switches for each
horizontal wire shall be mounted within a prewired channel fastened to the fabric fence post
at the midpoint of each section. Outrigger barbed wire and tripwire may share the same switch.
Each taut-wire fence post shall mount to the normal security fence (chain link) fabric posts
or other barrier via standoffs to position the taut-wire approximately 150 mm 6 inches from
the fence fabric or other barrier. Mount freestanding taut-wire fence posts in concrete to support
the taut-wire fence system. Each barbed wire strand shall be pretensioned and clamped to the
lever arm of the displacement switch, such that the lever is in the neutral (off) position;
therefore, the forces applied by the barbed wires are balanced equal in opposite directions.
Tripwire shall be pretensioned in a like manner. Tripwire shall be linked to the top switch
in the sensor switch channel by a special subassembly that includes a rod which shall serve
as a lever to transfer movement of the tripwire to the end of the actuating lever arm of the
sensor switch. Abnormal displacement of a switch lever resulting from cutting or deflecting
its attached wire, as by climbing on or through fence strands, shall initiate an alarm condition.
Damping mechanism in the sensor shall reduce alarm threshold due to slowly changing phenomena
such as ground shifting, daily and seasonal temperature variations, and winds up to 56 km/h
35 mph. Sensor switch shall provide electrical contact closure as the means for initiating
an alarm condition, whenever the wire clamped to the vertical center bolt is pulled laterally
in any direction by an amount not over 19 mm 0.75 inch. Housing for switch assembly shall be
covered by a neoprene cap to retain the center bolt (lever arm), which functions as a lever
to translate movement of the attached horizontal wire into contact closure. When the neoprene
cap is firmly seated on the cup-shaped polycarbonate housing, it shall function as the fulcrum
for the lever (bolt). Upper exposed end of the lever shall be threaded to accommodate clamping
to the horizontal wire. The lower end of the lever, which is fashioned to serve as the movable
electrical contact, shall be held suspended in a small cup-shaped contact that floats in a plastic
putty material. The plastic putty shall retain a degree of elasticity under varying temperature
conditions and provide the sensor switch with a self-adjusting property. This provides the
switch with a built-in compensating mechanism that ignores small, very slow changes in lever
alignment (which may result from environmental changes such as extreme temperature variations
and ground creepage due to weather conditions) and to react to fast changes only, as caused
by manual deflection or cutting of the wires. Provide metal slider strips having slots through
which the barbed wires pass. Wires shall be prevented from leaving the slots by rivets. Purpose
of the slider strip shall be to translate forces normal to the barbed wire to a horizontal displacement
of the sensor. Install one slider strip pair, upper and lower, on every fence post except where
sensor posts or anchor strips are installed. Separation between slider elements along the fence
shall be [3000] [_____] mm [10] [_____] feet. Attach barbed wires of sensor to existing specially
installed fence posts, called anchor posts, located equidistant on both sides of sensor posts
and at ends of sensor zone run. Anchor strip shall be a strip of steel plate on which are installed
fastening plates. Weld strip or otherwise attach the strip to anchor post and ends of tensed
barbed wires wrapped around the fastening plates. Attempts to climb on fastening plates or
on the attached barbed wires shall cause plates to break off, creating an alarm and making it
impossible to defeat the system by climbing at the anchor post. Barbed wire used in the system
shall be suitable for installation under a preload tension of approximately 392 N 88 pounds
and be flexible enough for convenient manipulation during tensioning. Double-strand 15 1/2-gage
barbed wire shall be the minimum acceptable. Sensor zone control unit shall monitor up to [10]
[_____] zones. Provide relay outputs to interface alarm outputs with the overall ESS. Input
power requirements shall be 120/208 volts ac.

armored cord constructed from corrosion-resistant metal. Each end of the armored cord shall
terminate in a junction box or other enclosure. Secure armored cord ends mechanically to the
junction boxes by clamps or bushings. Provide conductors within the armored cord with lug terminals
at each end. Jumpered conductors and the armored cord shall experience no mechanical strain
as gate is moved from fully open to closed.
[g]. Barrier protection: Provide for exterior facility barriers other than fences by the employment

configuration]. Divide the facility barrier perimeter sensor length electronically into [100-meter]
[four] [_____] zones. Install sensors [on the exterior side of the barrier] [and] [as recommended
by the manufacturer]. Sensors shall be as specified in the paragraph entitled ["Electrostatic
Field Sensors"] ["Taut-Wire Sensors"].

weather conditions, moving bushes and similiar enviromental anomalies. The sensor shall be
able to track an intruder for up to 450 feet 140 meters radius and display the alarm results

funds shall not be obligated for procurement of radio equipment until frequency
allocation authority has been obtained. As soon as possible, but no later than
schematic design, the designer shall contact the area radio frequency coordinator
(usually the base radio officer) to determine the availability of radio frequencies
and to ensure that the using activity submits a DD Form 1494, "Application for
Frequency Allocation," for a Stage 1 ("Conceptual Development") allocation (see

must be obtained prior to advertisement of the contract.
The 138 to 150.8 MHz band is the preferred range since specific frequencies
in this range are reserved for DOD use. Frequencies in the 162 to 174 MHz and
450 to 470 MHz bands are shared with other users on a first-come, first-served
basis. In order to avoid potential contract delays, the frequency assignment
should be included in the specification when possible. For additional information,
contact the base radio officer or the Naval Electromagnetic Spectrum Center
at (202) 433-0689, OPNAVINST 2400.20E issued by OPNAV Code N60 (previously Code
OP941), telephone (703) 695-7284.
