Security technology decision tree tool

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center has developed a decision tree tool, to help users implement security measures based on intrusion detection and automated video surveillance technology. The security technology decision tree tool (STDTT) is a computer application that leads the user through specification of security objectives, identification of constraints attributable to noninterference with mission, and consideration of possible security scenarios, with guidance in equipment selection as the outcome. Even if contractors perform the actual security design and implementation, STDTT will prepare in-house personnel to effectively assess whether proposed security designs are compatible with local activity, with personnel resources for assessment, response, and maintenance, and with year-round weather and terrain conditions.
