Non-MIP Biometrics

Abstract

The Biometrics Enabling Capability (BEC) product office has full life-cycle management responsibility of the DoD authoritative biometrics enterprise repository system, known as DoD Automated Biometrics Identification System (DoD ABIS). BEC Increment 0 is comprised of the current version (v1.2) of DoD ABIS and the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) which is DoD ABIS v1.3. DoD ABIS supports identity superiority capabilities for Warfighters to identify known or suspected terrorists and third country nationals in the course of military operations. DoD ABIS provides matching, sharing, and storing of biometrics data. The capability can receive multi-modal 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. Biometric Automated Toolset-Army (BAT-A) is the Army Program of Record for the current Army collection capability. DoD ABIS 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: FY18 RDT&E funding in the amount of $5.5M (DT2: Non-MIP Biometrics) enables the BEC product office to continue the DoD ABIS Service Life Extension Program (SLEP). Funding supports a required update to the Search core, transaction manager and the authoritative repository, as well as improved / enhanced interoperability with FBI, Department of Homeland Security and other government entities. Updates to the current Electronic Biometric Transmission Standard (EBTS) which is required in order to enable International Caveat, also improves sharing of data throughout the biometric community. This funding also supports testing of the DoD ABIS SLEP .
