Biometrics and Forensics Science and Technology for Identity Dominance
Abstract
Biometrics and Forensics Science and Technology projects field prototypes to address emerging technology gaps that limit our ability to quickly and accurately identify anonymous individuals who threaten our physical and virtual assets. The overall goal of these projects is to reduce future operational risk to warfighters. New technologies demonstrated through this program will allow warfighters to identify bad actors or counter adversaries’ attempts to mitigate our current technologies. These projects leverage techniques such as proof-of-principle prototyping, increased use of small businesses, and increased competition between vendors. Biometrics and forensics projects will mature emerging technologies that support 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 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.
