Next Gen Biometric Collection Capability (MIP)

Abstract

The Next Generation Biometrics Collection Capability (NXGBCC) is the replacement system for the Biometrics Automated Toolset-Army (BAT-A). The BAT-A is the current Army Program of Record for tactical biometrics collection capability. The BAT-A was originally developed as a Quick Reaction Capability. These devices have been deployed in a combat zone for over 19 years, well beyond the standard 3 to 6 years of useful electronic equipment life. NXGBCC will be an integrated system of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) hardware and software, comprising a kit, data base, and transport architecture. NXGBCC will be capable of operating on multiple communications networks and achieve near real-time identity matching and data synchronization. NXGBCC will add to the number of biometric modalities collected, provide matches to the Warfighter in less than 3 minutes, increase the data sharing capability, and reduce weight, power, and cost. NXGBCC will use a Local Trusted Source composed of a distributed database capable of being used worldwide, data management software, forward biometric matching software, and an analysis portal. Also, the NXGBCC collection kit(s) will be composed of 1 or more collection devices, a credential/badge device, and document scanning device. Justification: Beginning with FY2020, funding for NXGBCC previously reflected in project BI7 has been moved to project FL5. The $2.000 million of FY20 Base Funding will complete the prototype selection process via the Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) started in FY18. Also, the program office will begin Operational and Interoperability Testing along with New Equipment Training development.
