Fire Protection.
See UFC 3-600-01, Design: Fire Protection Engineering for Facilities, and NFPA
101, Life Safety.
2-5.12
Security.
ATCTs are normally located within restricted areas that meet the minimum-
security measures for external security. If the facility is located within a restricted
area of a lower level of security, provide additional measures to meet the
minimum-security requirements for the level of security assigned to the facility.
The level of security and the designer's responsibility for particular security
elements will be designated in the IDSEP. See Paragraph 3-6. Provide an
electronic cipher door lock at the first floor entrance with an intercom and remote
lock release in the tower cab. The door at the stairs leading to the cab also
requires a cipher lock. See FRD.
