Biometrics Enabling Capability (BEC)

Abstract

Biometrics Enabling Capability 1 (BEC 1), was a new start in FY22. BEC 1 provides 24/7 operational support enabling time sensitive missions requiring near real time biometrics identification of known and/or suspected threat actors worldwide in support of Joint All Domain Operations (JADO). The automated and manual biometrics matching allows the Warfighter to accurately identify and detain those responsible for conducting espionage, sabotage, terrorist operations and other coercive actions against US forces and partner nations across the globe. FY2023 funding in the amount of $11.091 Million allows for completion of development and insertion of BEC Increment 1 capabilities.
