1. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT
The Bureau of Diplomatic Security-s Physical Security Division Research & Development Branch (DS/PSD/RD) seeks contractor support to conduct large‑scale blast testing and fragmentation characterization of Department anti‑ram perimeter systems subjected to a simulated Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) attack.
Work includes:
• Phase 1: Debris characterization of baseline anti‑ram barriers under a 2, 000‑lb TNT‑equivalent blast.
• Phase 2: Debris characterization of modified systems using proposed opaque claddings to evaluate potential hazard‑mitigation properties.
• High‑speed videography, instrumentation planning, dynamic data collection, post‑blast debris assessment, and detailed reporting.
• Generation of updated or new engineering drawings for inclusion in the DOS Physical Security Handbook (Red Book).
• Monthly progress reporting.
