Management Agency

Abstract

The Defense Forensics and Biometrics Agency (DFBA), under the Provost Marshal General, fulfills the Secretary of the Army's Executive Agent (EA) responsibilities for all DoD forensics and biometrics activities. As the proponent, DFBA supports and provides oversight for Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) activities and information management throughout the Armed Services and DoD. DFBA leads and facilitates in the development of improvement 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 2023 funding in the amount of $1.192 million for Project DU2 will provide DFBA the ability to actively manage research efforts to address DoD biometrics objectives and requirements. DFBA supports the conduct of biometric and forensics activities (e.g. standards conformance and interoperability assessments), provides guidance to the research and development community, assists DoD acquisition organizations, and coordinates efforts with DoD and interagency stakeholders. This level of engagement promotes information sharing across the biometrics community to maximize utility of RDT&E efforts.
