Physical measures could be used for controlling access, impeding an attack or protective materials.
Tech description | Threat type | Threat phase | Tech use | Tech criteria | Products/suppliers |
Influence attacker physically (for example, intimidate, Less Lethal Weapons (sound, vision)) | all | Execution | Respond / restrict

Readiness / Performance | Psychological Intervention Guide for PBIED attacks: multidimensional matrix of significant aspects of PBIED in crowd,
facilitates sense making in using softer methods to delay/protect (by TNO, for FP7 SUBCOP) |
Physical barriers that are flexible or permanent | Vehicle attack | Pre-attack preparations | Protect | Readiness / performance | Many available |
Urban layout with bollards, planters, et cetera | Vehicle, VBIED attack | Execution
|
Protect

Other: impact, architectural looks | n/a |
Reduce the loading on a building by using landscape design
|
VBIED attack | Execution
|
Protect
|
Cost and other: effectiveness | n/a |
Design of roads to prevent the impact of vehicles with a high speed | Vehicle, VBIED attack | Execution / Post-Attack/Escape | Protect
|
n/a | n/a |
Prevent crowded places with environment design | all | Execution
|
Protect
|
n/a | n/a |
Temporary measures – vehicle barriers, checkpoint, road block | Vehicle, VBIED attack | Execution | Protect | Physical, cost and other: impact on normal operations | n/a |
Permanent measures – security gate, (blast resistant) fencing, bollards…. | Vehicle, VBIED attack | Execution | Protect | Physical, cost and other: impact on normal operations | n/a |
Façade design (include the window and door anchors) | IED, PBIED, UAVIED, VBIED attack | Execution | Protect | Physical / cost | n/a |
Explosion resistant glazing | IED, PBIED, UAVIED, VBIED attack | Execution | Protect | Physical / cost | n/a |
Bullet proof glazing | Fire arms attack | Execution | Protect | Physical / cost | n/a |
Prevent progressive collapse | IED, PBIED, UAVIED, VBIED attack | Execution | Protect | Physical / cost | n/a |
Prevent roof objects like lightning, panels to fall on the people | IED, PBIED, UAVIED, VBIED attack | Execution | Protect | Physical / cost | n/a |
Provide a safe place for shelter | Fire arms, sharp object attack | Execution | Protect | Physical / cost | n/a |
Products to mitigate or reduce the explosion effects like blast container (place them around the threat) to isolate the threat
|
IED, PBIED attack | Execution | Protect | Other: (It might be effective to protect the surrounding, but also has side effects. E.g. additional risk for EOD) | n/a |
Personal protection (vest, helmet, gear) to the first responders and security personnel | Fire arms, sharp object attack | Pre-attack preparations / Execution | Respond | Physical / cost / performance | n/a |
Bomb suit (Explosive ordnance) of the first responders and security personnel | IED, PBIED, UAVIED, VBIED attack | Execution / Post-Attack/Escape | Respond | Physical / performance | n/a |
