BIOMETRICS
Abstract
Biometrics (measurable physical and behavioral characteristics that enable the establishment and verification of an individual's identity), is a component within the Information System Security Program (ISSP). Prior to FY11 there were two biometrics organizations executing funds described in this R Form: the Biometrics Identity Management Agency (BIMA), formerly the Biometrics Task Force (BTF), and Program Manager (PM) Department of Defense (DoD) Biometrics. Currently, only BIMA uses project 50B. BIMA acts as the DoD proponent for biometrics; leads in the development and implementation of biometric technologies for Combatant Commands, Services, and Agencies; delivers capabilities in order to contribute to the enhancement of biometric community; increases Joint Service interoperability and; empowers the warfighter by improving operational effectiveness on the battlefield. This program has no FY13 Base or OCO RDTE requirement.
