Course Description
Welcome to the online training program on Hostile Vehicle Threats. The structure and majority of the content is adapted from the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure and the course is designed to provide a guide for detecting and mitigating risks to you, your premises, and your operations through a better understanding how someone could use a vehicle as a weapon or delivery mechanism to harm your personal and corporate interests.
As historical examples abound for both simple and complex attacks, motor vehicles have been an instrument of choice for terrorists to target pedestrians, breach physical security barriers, and deliver explosive devices. The use of a vehicle is scalable (based on intended target and environment), requires minimal preparation (depending on target and motivation), and is encouraged by terrorist leaders to be carried out by their adherents. Understanding this reality and potential is the first vital step in preparing for, defending against, and countering such threats to better secure your personnel and organization.
