 ATTACHMENT A
OTHER SECURITY MEASURES
1.

Perimeter Physical Barriers:
a.

Physical barriers, including both natural (e.g., mountains, swamps,
thick vegetation, rivers, bays, cliffs) and structural (e.g., Port
Security Barriers (PSB), fences, walls, doors, gates, vehicle
barriers) which control, delay, impede, and discourage access by
unauthorized persons. To be effective, such barriers shall be
augmented by armed security force personnel or other means of
protection and assessment.

b.

Physical barriers shall be employed along Contractor facility
perimeters. The barrier or combination of barriers used shall
afford an equal degree of continuous protection along the entire
perimeter.

c.

Structural barriers such as fences or walls shall be a minimum of 8
feet in height, and any uncontrolled opening shall be securable to
afford protection against unauthorized entry.

d.

The waterfront security required to protect the Navy asset is
dependent on the asset. Damage to the dry dock gate could result in
flooding of the dry dock resulting in possible damage or loss of the
vessel. Therefore, the dry dock gate is not considered to be a
physical or structural barrier and must be protected. Additionally,
floating drydocks shall be protected commensurate with the
provisions for the docked asset.

e.

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) installs will be planned for
installation by using Chapter 4 of the Unified Facilities Criteria
(UFC) 4-021-02NF. Plans will be submitted to the SUPERVISOR for
approval, prior to installation. This UFC document provides
guidance on how to design electronic security systems required by
the current antiterrorism/force-protection environment.

f.

The patent number for the original Port Security Barrier (PSB) is
6681709 B1. The patent number for the PSB-T is 7401565 B2. There
is no separate patent number for the PSB-P or PSB-V variant. At the
time of publishing SI 009-72 FY-12 (CH-2), Harbor Offshore Barriers
(5720 Nicolle St., Ventura, CA 93003) and Truston Technologies, Inc.
(520 Ridgely Ave., Annapolis, MD 21401) were both licensed to
manufacture the original PSB as well as the variants.

and efficient operation of the Contractor facility. Access through such
openings shall be controlled, or the openings shall be secured.

3.

Signs shall be posted at regularly-used points of entry and at
intervals along the facility perimeter such that any reasonable
person would conclude that everyone crossing the boundary into the
facility would have been informed of the above.

Security Force Communications:
a.

The activity security force requires sufficient equipment to
maintain continuous, secure 2-way voice communications between
elements (fixed/mobile posts, and supervisory personnel) of the
security force and U.S. Naval vessel's watch section. Establish
communications between the Contractor's security force and the U.S.
Naval vessel's watch section.

 Addendum One to Attachment A
of Standard Item 009-72
Waterborne Security Boats
Mission
The boats are primarily used to provide a dedicated waterborne presence and
deterrence in the immediate vicinity of no more than three (3) U.S. Naval
Assets. The word ”dedicated” is defined as on-site, 24-hours a day, 7 days a
week, and responsive solely to the operational confines of the protected
asset(s). Normally, a single waterborne security boat will be designated for
each U.S. Naval Asset. Waterborne security boats must be capable of
conducting continuous patrols in the immediate vicinity of the protected
asset(s), or continuous monitoring of a patrol zone when assigned to protect
clustered U.S. Naval Assets (a patrol zone shall not exceed 200 yards and
shall not include more than 3 protected assets).
Waterborne security boats will be used to provide restricted area enforcement
by providing a layered defense and deterrence mechanism. This includes the
ability for early detection of intruders under day/night, and all-weather
conditions.
Projected Operating Environment
The projected operating environment of the waterborne security boats will
normally be in protected harbors or inland waterways. These boats will be
expected to operate in varying temperatures depending on the climate at the
location the boat(s) will be used. Temperatures can be expected to vary from
below 32 degrees Fahrenheit to above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Storm conditions
and warnings often issued in the operating environment include: small craft,
gale, storm, and hurricane warnings.
General Characteristics
There are no specific hull material requirements for waterborne security
boats. Waterborne security boats must be visible from distances of at least
500 yards to the unaided eye, during periods of unrestricted visibility and
must possess all safety equipment required by federal and local regulations.
Waterborne security boats must also display a placard on both sides of the
vessel with the word "Security" of sufficient size and reflective composition
to be visible from 500 yards to the unaided eye, during periods of
unrestricted visibility (250 yards during periods of low-light) and in
accordance with federal and local regulations. These boats must possess a
hailing mechanism capable of warning/hailing approaching craft at 500 yards.
Hailing capability may consist of modified human voice (e.g., through the use
of a bull horn, PA system, etc.), or mechanical (e.g., siren, pulsating tone,
etc.).
The boat must have a weather resistant spot/flood light capable of rotating
360 degrees with instant start/restart and at least 6,000,000 candlepower.
12 of 13

ITEM NO:

009-72
FY-19

 The boat must have a fully operable marine band radio (VHF).
Length range:

27 feet to 40 feet

And why:

This size is necessary for safety and mission accomplishment, ease of
discernment, crew accommodation, visual deterrent, and ease of
maneuverability when responding to contacts of interest during all-weather
patrols.
Breadth
8 feet 6 inches And why:

The minimum breadth of 8 feet 6 inches is necessary to provide a stable
platform, crew accommodation, visual deterrent, ease of maneuverability,
safety and mission accomplishment when responding to contacts of interest
during all-weather patrols.
Maximum Draft: 4.5 feet
The maximum draft of 4.5 feet is necessary for
ease of maneuverability in and around the protected assets.
Number of Crew: Two. At least one coxswain and one observer/lookout shall
be assigned to each boat for the duration of the patrol period. These
personnel shall be qualified in the operation of the security boat, and shall
be qualified with, and armed with personal protective weapons in accordance
with SECNAVINST 5500.29C, DoDD 5210.56, as permitted by state and local
regulations.
Required Cargo Capacity or Deck Space: Stowage space must be sufficient to
accommodate at least four (including 2 spare) life vests, a flood light, a
first-aid kit, a back board, and specialized tactical equipment, etc.
Propulsion System (e.g., Diesel inboard with outdrive, Diesel inboard with
waterjet, or gasoline outboard) and why:
The propulsion system must be able to conduct multiple idle/sprint missions
during each patrol period. Because of the limited operating area, propulsion
systems must be capable of rapidly responding to a contact of interest
(normally within the 200 yard operating zone) and rapidly reversing.
Speed 20kts. A minimum speed of 20kts is necessary to provide the capability
to rapidly respond to contacts of interest or rapidly move out of the line of
fire from shipboard responders in the event of a deadly engagement.
