Biometrics Enabled Intelligence

Abstract

Joint Personnel Identification (JPI) supports the Biometric Enterprise database system which will deliver innovative and emergent biometric solutions to protect the nation through global identity superiority. JPI will provide an Army tactical biometric collection capability to capture an adversary or neutral person's biometric data and enroll them into the DoD enterprise authoritative biometric database to positively identify and verify the identity of actual or potential adversaries. U.S. forces are currently operating unilaterally or in combination with joint, multinational, and interagency partners, to identify unknown individuals and verify the identity of person(s) across the full range of military operations. Capabilities proposed for JPI will be configurable for multiple operational mission environments enabling identity dominance on the battlefield and across the DoD spectrum. JPI will leverage lessons learned through the current Quick Reaction Capability (QRC) to further refine the biometric collection systems abilities to collect, match, store, and share biometric (fingerprint/face/iris) and contextual information from actual or potential adversaries, host nation personnel, and third country nationals. FY2015 Core funding supports ten (10) Government Full Time Equivalent (FTE) Civilian Positions. Government FTEs are responsible for Program Management activities (engineering, cost estimating, resource and acquisition management) related development efforts. The FY15 funds will enable the PM to continue limited JPI Biometrics Tactical Collection Devices (BTCDs) developmental actions. These actions will afford JPI to conduct a narrow spectrum of bridging strategies designed to extend the BTCDs through limited operational assessments and technology insertion. Also, funds are intended to enable JPI to incorporate software patches until a future device reaches FOC. Lastly, funds minimally sustain infrastructure, facility costs and communication requirements (desktop support & network connectivity).
