AFLCMC/HBU plans to select and qualify commercially available Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Interior Sensors will be used primarily inside buildings, hangars and protected interior volumes of space to detect a human target no less than 1.5m in height and weighing no less than 45kg (100) lbs. while walking, running, crawling, and jumping in interior secured areas. The Interior Sensor will be connected to a Command, Control, and Display Equipment (CCDE), also known as an Annunciator. The sensor will indicate an alarm condition to the CCDE through the use of a Form "C" dry contact or through the use of XML message formatted in accordance with SEIWG ICD 0101B. All alarms generated by the Interior Sensor will be passed to the CCDE alarm panel located in a Distribution Box (DB). The requirements for a DB are found in Section 3.2 of the ESE-SIT-0001. The Interior Sensors components, such as the processor and power supply, may be housed in the DB along with the CCDE alarm panel. All sensor system components must be sized to be compatible for use with these enclosures.
