Non-MIP Biometrics

Abstract

DT2 / Non-MIP Biometrics - Biometrics Enabling Capability (BEC) Increment 0, also known as DoD Automated Biometrics Identification System (DoD ABIS), is an information technology system supporting identity superiority by providing the critical core capability for Warfighters to identify known or suspected terrorists and third country nationals in the course of military operations. BEC Increment 0 is a Program of Record and DoD's only authoritative biometric repository, providing 24/7 operational support for the Warfighter and interagency partners to decide and act in near-real time with timely identification and identity verification of known or suspected terrorists across the full range of military operations and preventing terrorist operations. DoD ABIS enables DOD, Interagency and International Partners to effectively impede adversary's ability to conceal their identity and intentions. DoD ABIS supports all three objectives of the National Defense Strategy to increase lethality, enhance International Cooperation and improve business practices. Justification: FY 2020 RDT&E funding in the amount of $0.281 million (DT2: Non-MIP Biometrics) supports cyber security testing and preparation for DoD ABIS Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) operational testing.
