Part two covers design of the physical protection system including exterior and interior intrusion sensors, alarm systems, alarm communications, entry control, time delay to enable response to intrusion attempt, and the response itself. Part three addresses the process of analysing and evaluating potential physical protection systems (PPS) designs. Appendices, glossary, index.
