The ninth of a new, well-received, and highly acclaimed series on critical infrastructure and homeland security, Defense Industrial Base Protection and Homeland Security is an eye-opening account and an important reference describing a complex sector. This book was designed and written to serve and advise U.S. project designers, engineers, law enforcement and security specialists, building and grounds superintendents, and managers in charge of protecting critical infrastructure in the United States. This book discusses the elements comprising the defense industrial base sector, many of the security measures employed to protect the various entities involved, and provides guidance on improving the resilience of the defense industrial base infrastructure. This text is accessible to those who have no experience with or knowledge of the defense industrial base sector. If you work through the text systematically, you will gain an understanding of the challenge of domestic preparedness—that is, an immediate need for a heightened state of awareness of the present threat facing the defense industrial base sector members as potential terrorist targets. Moreover, you will gain knowledge of security principles and measures that can be implemented—adding a critical component not only to your professional knowledge but also give you the tools needed to combat terrorism in the homeland—our homeland, both by outsiders and insiders.
