Biometrics and Forensics Science and Technology
Abstract
The focus area for Biometrics and Forensics Science and Technology projects will field prototypes that address the emerging technology gaps that limit our ability to quickly and accurately identify anonymous individuals who threaten our physical and virtual assets, overseas or in the United States. The overall goal of projects is to reduce future operational risk to warfighters by allowing them to identify bad actors by developing new technologies and approaches or countering adversaries’ attempts to mitigate our current technologies. These projects will leverage techniques such as spiral prototyping, increased use of small businesses, and increased competition between vendors as outlined in Better Buying Power 3.0. Biometrics and forensics projects will mature emerging technologies that support evolving identity operations and forensic capabilities required by Commanders and warfighters in ongoing and future military activities. These efforts leverage the Reliance 21 model to encourage collaboration on biometrics and forensics projects within the DoD, with interagency partners, with our partners in industry and academia; and, cooperation with international partners where applicable. This model will help maximize collaborative investment and prevent redundant research. Deliverables are shared throughout the biometrics and forensics communities.
