Base design
Mattn:
we have that already - that are the installations (ufo yard, defense and so on)
Kildor:
No, not SAM, but security post for tactical base defence, as in XCom-3
Mayhem:
Frankly, a defensive position ought to be included automatically as part of the entrance.

All too true, no military type installation with "anything" worth guarding, would leave the entrance to such a facility unmanned and unguarded. In the scenario of AI, it would be even more "unlikely" that any installation's entrance way would be left unguarded. Most likely a small garrison and some "heavy" weapons of some sort would be in place 24/7 to keep any would be intruders from invading the base.
Destructavator:
I would think it would also make sense to have forces outside and above ground that patrol and defend the base. Wouldn't it make sense to have a base defense mission have two parts - one that is above ground outside with a landed UFO, and a second that is the interior of the base if the aliens get that far?
After all, in various versions of X-COM/UFO and the inspired re-makes, some alien base assault missions have two parts, one that is outside where the goal is to get to the entrance and get inside, and the second map where everything takes place inside.
I don't claim to be an expert, but with regards to military installations, even ones that don't disclose what they do there, as far as I know many have fences, walls, etc., outside, or at least some kind of exterior defenses and agents, officers, or soldiers, etc. that patrol the area and control and monitor anything that approaches the place. Heck, even special places in urban areas have armed security and special police forces that patrol.
I actually have a little bit of experience going to such places and know a few things about this, partly from my last job, and I can't elaborate on too many details but I'll say that I don't know of any such installations or real-life bases where you aren't normally detected , watched, and have to pass through a good deal of checkpoints and outer patrols before you even get close to the place, and then pass through more security getting inside.
