FOREWORD

The Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) system is prescribed by MIL-STD 3007 and provides planning, design, construction, sustainment, restoration, and modernization criteria, and applies to the Military Departments, the Defense Agencies, and the DoD Field Activities in accordance with USD (AT&L) Memorandum dated 29 May 2002. UFC will be used for all DoD projects and work for other customers where appropriate. All construction outside of the United States is also governed by Status of Forces Agreements (SOFA), Host Nation Funded Construction Agreements (HNFA), and in some instances, Bilateral Infrastructure Agreements (BIA.)

Therefore, the acquisition team must ensure compliance with the most stringent of the UFC, the SOFA, the HNFA, and the BIA, as applicable.

UFC are living documents and will be periodically reviewed, updated, and made available to users as part of the Services’ responsibility for providing technical criteria for military construction. Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (HQUSACE), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment (AFCEE) are responsible for administration of the UFC system. Defense agencies should contact the preparing service for document interpretation and improvements. Technical content of UFC is the responsibility of the cognizant DoD working group. Recommended changes with supporting rationale should be sent to the respective service proponent office by the following electronic form: Criteria Change Request. The form is also accessible from the Internet sites listed below.

UFC are effective upon issuance and are distributed only in electronic media from the following source:

REVISION SUMMARY SHEET

Subject: UFC 4-010-02, DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standoff Distances for Buildings

Cancels: UFC 4-010-02, DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standoff Distances for Buildings, dated 08 October 2003 with Change 1 dated 19 January 2007

Reasons for Changes: UFC 4-010-02 was updated for the following reasons:

To reflect changes in UFC 4-010-01

To eliminate redundancy between UFC 4-010-01 regarding information sensitivity

Description of Changes:

Revised Tables 1 and 2 to incorporate changes in conventional construction standoff distance in UFC 4-010-01

Moved the majority of guidance on information sensitivity to UFC 4- 010-01

Impact. Most of the changes should result in cost savings or no change in costs. Further impacts should include the following:

Ensures consistency between this UFC and UFC 4-010-01

Moves guidance on information sensitivity so all guidance is centralized

Limits this UFC to presenting complete versions of the two tables that are incomplete in UFC 4-010-01 due to sensitive information issues

1 GENERAL.

This UFC includes tables 1 and 2, which identify minimum standoff distances for new and existing buildings and minimum standoff and separation distances for expeditionary structures that are required to comply with the DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings (UFC 4-010-01). The last column of each table, titled “Applicable Explosive Weight”, includes specific explosive weights in pounds (kilograms) of TNT, which makes these tables For Official Use Only (FOUO). These tables are identical to Tables B-1 and D-1 in UFC 4-010-01 except that these tables include explosive weights while those in UFC 4-010-01 include only references to Explosive Weights I, II, and III. In addition the notes below the tables in this UFC are different from those in UFC 4-010-01.

Incorporating Tables 1 and 2 of this UFC into UFC 4-010-01 (replacing tables B-1 and D-1) or entering the explosive weights into those tables will make UFC 4- 010-01 For Official Use Only.

3 SECURITY ENGINEERING UFC SERIES.

This UFC is one of a series of security engineering unified facilities criteria documents that cover minimum standards, planning, preliminary design, and detailed design for security and antiterrorism. The manuals in this series are designed to be used sequentially by a diverse audience to facilitate development of projects throughout the design cycle. The manuals in this series include the following:

3.1 DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings.

This UFC and 4-010-01 establish standards that provide minimum levels of protection against terrorist attacks for the occupants of all DoD inhabited buildings. These UFCs are intended to be used by security and antiterrorism personnel and design teams to identify the minimum requirements that must be incorporated into the design of all new construction and major renovations of inhabited DoD buildings. They also include recommendations that should be, but are not required to be incorporated into all such buildings.

3.2 Security Engineering Facilities Planning Manual.

UFC 4-020-01 presents processes for developing the design criteria necessary to incorporate security and antiterrorism into DoD facilities and for identifying the cost implications of applying those design criteria. Those design criteria may be limited to the requirements of the minimum standards, or they may include protection of assets other than those addressed in the minimum standards (people), aggressor tactics that are not addressed in the minimum standards, or levels of protection beyond those required by the minimum standards. The cost implications for security and antiterrorism are addressed as cost increases over conventional construction for common construction types. The changes in construction represented by those cost increases are tabulated for reference, but they represent only representative construction that will meet the requirements of the design criteria. The manual also addresses the tradeoffs between cost and risk. The Security Engineering Facilities Planning Manual is intended to be used by planners as well as security and antiterrorism personnel with support from planning team members.

3.3 Security Engineering Facilities Design Manual.

UFC 4-020-02 provides interdisciplinary design guidance for developing preliminary systems of protective measures to implement the design criteria established using UFC 4-020-01. Those protective measures include building and site elements, equipment, and the supporting manpower and procedures necessary to make them all work as a system. The information in UFC 4-020-02 is in sufficient detail to support concept level project development, and as such can provide a good basis for a more detailed design. The manual also provides a process for assessing the impact of protective measures on risk. The primary audience for the Security Engineering Design Manual is the design team, but it can also be used by security and antiterrorism personnel.

3.4 Security Engineering Support Manuals.

In addition to the standards, planning, and design UFCs mentioned above, there is a series of additional UFCs that provide detailed design guidance for developing final designs based on the preliminary designs developed using UFC 4-020-02. These support manuals provide specialized, discipline specific design guidance. Some address specific tactics such as direct fire weapons, forced entry, or airborne contamination. Others address limited aspects of design such as resistance to progressive collapse or design of portions of buildings such as mail rooms. Still others address details of designs for specific protective measures such as vehicle barriers or fences. The Security Engineering Support Manuals are intended to be used by the design team during the development of final design packages.

3.5 Security Engineering UFC Application.

The application of the security engineering series of UFCs is illustrated in Figure

1. UFC 4-020-01 is intended to be the starting point for any project that is likely to have security or antiterrorism requirements. By beginning with this UFC, the design criteria will be developed that establishes which of the other UFCs in the series will need to be applied. The design criteria may indicate that only the minimum standards need to be incorporated, or it may include additional requirements, resulting in the need for application of additional UFCs. Even if only the minimum standards are required other UFCs may need to be applied if sufficient standoff distances are unavailable. Applying this series of UFCs in the manner illustrated in Figure 1 will result in the most efficient use of resources for protecting assets against security and antiterrorism related threats.

4 STANDOFF DISTANCES.

Use Tables 1 and 2 as indicated below for new and existing construction in conjunction with tables in UFC 4-010-01 as indicated below.

Use Table 1 in conjunction with Table B-2 in UFC 4-010-01 to determine the applicable standoff distances for new and existing construction other than expeditionary construction.

Use Table 2 conjunction with Table D-1 in UFC 4-010-01 to determine the applicable standoff and separation distances for new and existing construction in expeditionary environments.

5 INFORMATION SENSITIVITY.

The explosive weights in this document are exempt from mandatory disclosure under the freedom of information act because they indicate the minimum explosive weights that are the basis for designing all DoD inhabited buildings and structures. Allowing potential aggressors to know those minimum explosive weights could constitute a vulnerability to DoD personnel. To minimize the possibility of that information being used against DoD personnel, follow the guidance in Chapter 1 of UFC 4-010-01 on incorporating the explosive weights into planning and design documents and into plans, specifications, and contracting documents.
