Officials hope the fence will be approved and installed by fiscal year 2018

Chief Strategic Officer of the U.S. Secret Service Thomas Dougherty said the project is moving 'extremely fast' after a report about the 2014 incident

re-design, which still must be approved, aims to make the fence more than 11 feet high with sensors to detect 'jumpers'

A new design for the White House's fence, which hopes to discourage intruders from 'jumping' it, has been made public.

The re-design of the fence includes new security upgrades, like sensors to stop trespassers, and would make the barrier harder to scale by increasing the height from six feet to more than 11 feet.

Officials are trying to make the fence higher and stronger while still preserving the historical aesthetic, after a series of gate-jumping incidents in recent years.

The design was submitted publicly to U.S. Commission of Fine Arts on Thursday.

The modifications would include making the fence 11 feet tall, which is five feet taller than the current structure

They hope the changes will be installed by fiscal year 2018.

The last time the fence was tweaked was in 2015 when metal spikes were added to enhance security but its first incarnation was installed under President James Monroe in 1817.

The barrier is currently considered 'entirely scalable', according to Thomas Dougherty, Chief Strategic Officer of the U.S. Secret Service.

'We have now a society that tends to want to jump over the fence and go on the 18 acres.

'The current fence simply is not adequate for a modern era.

'Our priority is to maintain the public's access and their enjoyment of the residence because of the democratic connotations of all of that.

'It is in fact a quintessential First Amendment site,' he added.

The new design is just a preliminary concept and might undergo further modifications.

Yesterday many people who are a part of the National Park Service and the Secret Service got their first look at the re-design.

Some aired their concerns and criticisms.

'You see a progression, 3 feet high, 6 feet high. I'm glad I won't be around in 50 years when it's 25 feet high.

'At some point it can't be the same system,' Commission member Alex Krieger told ABC News.

Dougherty said the project is moving extremely fast and must be approved by this commission as well as the National Capital Planning Commission.

It would also call for sensors to be placed on the fence to prevent intruders from 'jumping' over and trying to break into the White House

This could be due to a recent damning report about a 2014 fence-jumping incident in which Omar Gonzalez scaled the structure and was able to enter the White House before being stopped by Secret Service.

Gonzalez was able to breach multiple layers of Secret Service security before being apprehended.

'This project is the first step in doing permanent improvements towards securing the White House grounds,' Peter May, the associate regional director of lands, planning, and design at the National Park Service, said.

The Secret Service is to report to the Inspector General on its progress with the project.

After a series of embarrassing break-ins over the current fence (pictured) during the last couple years, including one where a man made it inside the White House, the commission and the Secret Service decided to move forward with a re-design
