Management Agency
Abstract
The Defense Forensics and Biometrics Agency (DFBA) is the Executive Agent for DoD Biometrics and the proponent to establish and maintain Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDTE) and information management support throughout the Armed Services and DoD. DFBA leads and facilitates in the development of improvements, and implementation of efficiencies to developed and deployed biometric technologies for Combatant Commands (CCMDs), Services, DoD, and Agencies; facilitates transition of capabilities that contribute to the enhancement of the biometric community; increases Joint Service interoperability; and empowers the warfighter by improving operational effectiveness on the battlefield. The DFBA strategy pursues technology opportunities through scientific discovery and makes investments responsive to specific requirements identified by combat developers. Justification: FY 2019 funding in the amount of $1.411 million for Project DU2 will provide DFBA the ability to actively manage internal and external research efforts to ensure scientific merit, feasibility, and DFBA objectives and requirements are met. DFBA conducts biometric activities (e.g. standards conformance and interoperability assessments), support to DoD acquisition organizations, and provision of subject matter expertise to DoD and non-DoD government stakeholders.
