The Threats The concept of terrorism is not new in the UK. However, following events in recent years, the threat of international terrorism has risen to unprecedented levels. The attacks on the USA in 2001, and more recently on the London transport system and Glasgow Airport, have further highlighted the necessity to protect the UK’s infrastructure from the threats posed by terrorist organisations. Over the past few years, the terror threat level set by the UK government security services has fluctuated between ‘substantial’ and ‘severe’. ‘Substantial’ means that there is a very real threat of...

Implementing CONTEST Protect The Protect strand of the counter-terrorism strategy is driven by a number of government agencies, tasked with ensuring that the UK’s defences against terrorist attacks are strengthened and our vulnerability is reduced. The areas seen to be at greatest risk from terrorist attacks can be classified under two key headings; which are the Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) and Crowded Places. Critical National Infrastructure The Critical National Infrastructure is defined as any location with assets deemed essential for the functioning of our society and economy....

Key Agencies The effort to reduce the vulnerability of the UK to terrorist attacks is coordinated and driven by a number of government agencies. The Home Office, Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism (OSCT) leads all work on delivering the government’s counter-terrorism strategy, working closely with the UK Police force and the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI). The CPNI provides advice, training and awareness across a variety of disciplines, including physical, personnel and information security. The advice provided by the CPNI aims to reduce the vulnerability of...

Resilient Design Key Design Principles A key element of the strategy to combat the threat of international terrorism is to promote the adoption of counter-terrorism design principles in the planning and design process, to help reduce the vulnerability of our infrastructure to all types of attack, including those that are vehicle-borne. The three main objectives of counter-terrorism design are to: Deter would be terrorists Blast Resistance Better Building Management Better Oversight Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Delay an intrusion for a sufficient time to allow a response force to attend To achieve...

PAS 68 At the heart of the concept of Hostile Vehicle Mitigation is the BSI PAS 68 standard. PAS 68 specifies a performance classification for vehicle security barriers and their foundations when subjected to a horizontal impact. PAS 68 involves the physical impact testing of perimeter security products at varying speeds with different vehicle types. This ranges from medium sized saloon cars to large trucks, measuring the penetration of the load carrying part of the vehicle beyond the barrier. The existence of PAS 68 enables business and organisations to specify assured levels of protection against...

Performance Vehicle: 1.5 tonne saloon car Vehicle Speed: 30mph (48km/h) PAS 68 Classification Code: Fixed Bollard V/1500/48/90:1.3/0.0 Test results: The vehicle was completely immobilised, eliminating the chance of a second attack. Designed for: - reas at lower risk of a high-energy vehicular attack A - ocations with tighter vehicle access, making it impossible for larger vehicles L to reach significant speed - ocations which require protection against criminal ram raiding. L The bollard provides the ideal security solution for a wide range of applications which previously would have required...

Performance Vehicle: 2.5 tonne 4x4 utility vehicle Vehicle Speed: 40mph (64km/h) PAS 68 Classification Code: Fixed Bollard V/2500/64/90:0.0/0.0 Test results: The vehicle was completely immobilised, eliminating the chance of a second attack. Designed for: The bollard is ideal for applications requiring a higher level of protection and that are more vulnerable to a vehicular attack. The bollard provides the perfect solution for sites where a medium-sized vehicle could reach considerable speed, but also where it would be physically impossible for a larger vehicle to gain access or achieve the required...
