Non-MIP Biometrics

Abstract

The Biometrics Enabling Capability (BEC) product office has full life-cycle management responsibility of the upgraded authoritative biometrics enterprise repository system, known as DoD Automated Biometrics Identification System (DoD ABIS). DoD ABIS is an information technology system that supports identity superiority by providing the critical capability for Warfighters to identify known or suspected terrorists and third country nationals in the course of military operations. DoD ABIS is the authoritative biometrics enterprise system that provides matching, sharing and storing of biometrics data. The capability can receive multi-model biometrics submissions to include iris, face, palm and finger prints from biometrics collection devices, which will support the Warfigher in making, retain, capture or release decisions. The system has a direct impact on the availability of critical intelligence information that is of vital interest to DoD and other government agencies, including Department of Justice (DoJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and Department of State (DoS). Justification: FY16 Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) funding in the amount of $11.770 million supports integration and testing of upgraded Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Search Core software to replace obsolete technology and extend the service life of the DoD ABIS system baseline. Funds will also support software upgrades to the Electronic Biometrics Transmission Specification (EBTS 2.0) to comply with current DoD Information Technology Standards Registry (DISR) EBTS 3.0 Standards.
