DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings
Robert E. Merton, P.E.
Course Outline
While terrorism is not a new concept, the need to develop common antiterrorist measures to protect Department of Defense (DoD) facilities and structures has recently been clearly demonstrated. As the result of this need, common criteria and construction standards have been developed to minimize the threat, as well as damage and casualties in the event of a terrorist attack. This 6 hour course examines the minimum requirements to be put in place in DoD facilities.
This course is intended for civil engineers, electrical engineers, fire protection engineers, mechanical engineers, architects, facility planners, intelligence personnel, security personnel, contractors, and students.
This course requires the completion of a multiple-choice quiz at its conclusion in order to obtain the necessary certification.
Learning Objective
At the conclusion of this course the student should be familiar with:
Intended Audience
This course is intended for civil engineers, electrical engineers, fire protection engineers, mechanical engineers, architects, facility planners, intelligence personnel, security personnel, contractors, and students.
Benefit to Attendees
Attendees of this course will understand the antiterrorism standards and design requirements for DOD facilities.
Course Introduction
The need to insure that DoD facilities and structures are as safe as possible from terrorist attacks has resulted in the requirement for all DoD components to adopt and adhere to common criteria and construction standards. While all DoD components may set more stringent antiterrorism building standards, certain minimums must be put in place. This course will examine the minimum design requirements and standards to be put in place for DoD facilities.
