Biometrics is a powerful tool in the fight against crime, terrorism and in keeping America secure. Lockheed Martin plays a role in several biometric technology-based programs including the FBI's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), a database of 500 million fingerprints; and programs that use biometrics to increase safety and security at airports and ports.
Additionally, as the lead systems integrator on Verified Identity Pass, Inc's Registered Traveler Program, Lockheed Martin is responsible for the biometrics capture that gives credentialed individuals access through airport security checkpoints. Lockheed Martin is also the lead on a program through the Transportation Security Administration to credential 1.1 million workers at our nation's ports over five years.
Lockheed Martin also opened in 2007 the Biometric Experimentation and Advanced Concepts Center in White Hall, West Virginia, to develop new solutions and applications. Biometrics offers great promise for enhancing national security and the safety of our citizens. Research and development are critical to realizing this advanced technology's full potential.
