Army Scientific Advisory Panel Ad Hoc Group on Physical Security. Part I. Intrusion Protection Systems for Arms Rooms and Light Arms Ammunition Storage Areas.

摘要

The theft of arms and ammunition through illegal entry into arms rooms and ammunition storage areas constitutes a sensitive problem for the Army and the Department of Defense. The available statistics regarding weapons losses indicate that substantial numbers are the result of illegal entry, but other important sources are losses by individual soldiers during training and maneuvers, loss during transit, and other unaccountable reasons. In recent years, losses of weapons and ammunition are not increasing in absolute numbers, and in fact show a relative decline. None of the losses to date can be proven to be due to planned action by revolutionary groups or by organized crime.
