  • Vehicle Barrier Application for Soft Asset Protection at US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Dam Facilities

    Abstract: The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operates recreational areas at more than 400 lakes and river projects in 43 states. The rise of vehicular ramming attacks, in addition to attacks from vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs), necessitates physical security measures to protect soft assets at these facilities. Therefore, a comprehensive vehicle-control plan, which includes the appropriate placement of effective vehicle barriers, is important for dam owners and operators to maintain safety at their facilities. This guide consolidates requirements, standards, and the design basis for barriers from multiple sources to provide dam owners with a resource to better protect against vehicular threats.
