Threat, Vulnerability and Risk

Raytheon UTD has been a leader in developing threat and vulnerability assessment methodology and conducting threat and vulnerability assessments for the federal government.    Over a span of nearly twenty years UTD has conducted around the world over 200 assessments of the most sensitive and critical US and Allied infrastructure and facilities.

Staff experience includes registered Professional Engineers in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Mining, Cost and Geotechnical Engineering.  We have specialized expertise in the analysis and design of:

  • Underground Facilities 
  • Site Analysis, Perimeter and Entry Access Control 
  • WMD - Chemical, Biological, Radiological HVAC 
  • Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) 
  • Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDS)

UTD was a lead author for FEMA Publication 426 Building Security Reference Manual For High Occupancy Buildings to Mitigate Terrorist Attacks.  We use several federal agency methodologies including:

  • DoD
  • DOS
  • DOJ
  • GSA
  • DOC
  • FEMA




Ports and Airfields
 

Raytheon UTD conducts assessments of US and foreign ports for the Coast Guard and other government agencies and will assess approximately 40 ports in the next three years.  We participated in the development of the USCG HQ Model Port Attributes and specialize in the creation of port portfolios, infrastructure systems engineering analysis, as well as blast, HAZMAT, and WMD effects.  Our staff of former Coast Guard and Navy engineers and scientists provide our clients the depth and breadth of background and experience that ensures mitigation solutions are cost effective and able to provide layers of defense.

Raytheon UTD conducts assessments of military and civilian joint use airfields and works closely with the military services, TSA, and the FAA to develop the criteria and methodology to assess vulnerabilities of airfields, ranges, and joint use facilities.   We have extensive experience and understanding of the complexities of civilian and military airspace, operating areas, and ranges.  Our staff of engineers and scientists have been involved in numerous environmental and BRAC reuse projects and work closely with communities to resolve difficult noise, cultural, natural resource, and disposal issues.




Architectural and Engineering Design

UTD supports all aspects of conventional architectural and engineering design to include Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements (SABER), and Job Order Contracts (JOC).

  We are familiar with and use multiple federal agency design criteria such as:
    • DoD 
    • GSA 
    • DOS 
    • DOE

Staff are invited members of several agencies review teams and participate on numerous professional societies and associations to develop state-of-the-art technical guidance documents.
