The concentric zone provides protection through - correct answer Time, Distance, and Shielding Concentric zone - correct answer the practice of the layering of independent security devices and protocols Risk - correct answer Any actual or expected threats to assets 3 risk factors - correct answer Consequence, vulnerability, and probability Physical security survey - correct answer Comprehensive examination to identify assets, weaknesses/vulnerabilities, predict problems, and make recommendations/countermeasures to prevent problems from occurring and to improve overall security 3 components to opportunity reduction - correct answer Motivation, opportunity, and tools/means Purpose of protective lighting - correct answer To deny camouflage Access control - correct answer A method used to identify individuals, objects, vehicles through a controlled entrance or exit of a protected area High Explosive - correct answer An explosive which normally requires a blasting cap for initiation and once initiated produces a supersonic detonation with a shattering effect Low Explosive - correct answer An explosive which when unconfined responds to initiation by deflagration or burning and produces a pushing effect Incendiary Explosive - correct answer An explosive designed to start fires or destroy sensitive equipment
Detonation - correct answer A supersonic combustion that propagates through shock compression generating exothermic heat and accompanying blast wave Deglagration - correct answer A supersonic combustion that propagates through thermal conductivity Effects of an explosion - correct answer Thermal, blast pressure, confined or reflected blast, physiological, structural, fragmentation Least damaging of the three primary effects of an explosion - correct answer Thermal effect Most powerful and destructive of the three primary effects of an explosion - correct answer Blast pressure effect Pancaking - correct answer Occurs when an explosion destroys a structural member or members, cause the floor directly above the destroyed members to collapse Cascading - correct answer The collapsing of a series of bays 4 components to an IED - correct answer Power source, initiator, explosive, switch (PIES) 4 threat levels in aircraft counter measures - correct answer Verbal, physical, life threatening, and attack on flight deck Mission statement in aircraft counter measures - correct answer Ensure the security of the flight deck and the integrity of the aircraft. Do not allow the aircraft to be used as a steerable weapon of mass destruction POD - correct answer Position of dominance Least risk bomb locations - correct answer A location in the cabin that has the least number of vital systems that would be damaged if an IED should detonate
