Using a holistic approach, we deliver
comprehensive biometric collection,
processing, exploitation, and dissemina-tion
tools and training for today’s high-priority
identification intelligence mission
needs. We are developing biometric
techniques and technologies that are
portable, can be used by non-experts,
and provide much quicker results.
Booz Allen’s biometrics and forensics
capability service offering integrates
and applies expert research and develop-ment
resources across a large number
of science and technology domains. Our
high-level scientists and engineers offer
their expertise in a wide variety of areas
including microimmunology, DNA, physics,
optics, biometrics software engineering,
deployment and logistics, analytics,
and biometrics standards and policy.
Our advanced work extends across the
broad spectrum of biometrics capa-bilities,
moving biometrics from the
laboratory to the tactical edge.
Tactical Forensic Systems.
Who Was Here?
In sensitive site exploitation and other
law enforcement agency operations, agents
need rapid, mobile forensic collection and
identification solutions to give them action-able,
on-site answers to today’s most
pressing identification intelligence chal-lenges.
Booz Allen develops and delivers
integrated, next-generation
Next-Generation Biometrics and Forensics
MOVING BIOMETRICS TO THE TACTICAL EDGE
tactical forensic devices that leverage
existing commercial off-the-shelf mobile
platforms and advanced imaging tech-niques.
With Booz Allen’s high-level
biometrics expertise and tactical forensic
system development, government and
commercial agencies can provide their field
agents increased situational awareness,
in-field Tactical ID, urgent analytics,
and more effective mission planning.
Biometric and Forensic
Intelligence Case Management.
What Do We Know?
National security and law enforcement
agencies are responsible for handling
multiple active and lengthy cases involving
countless quantities of multimodal
biometric and forensic data from many
different intelligence sources. With Booz
Allen’s integrated identity case manage-ment
capabilities, case analysts across
the world can draw on existing biometric
data sources and collaborate in a
meaningful and effective way. Our Joint
Biometrics Identification System (JBIS) for
collection and case management captures,
manages, and stores all intelligence and
biometric information in an integrated,
biometric- and forensic-enabled system.
Booz Allen’s identity and forensic analysis
capabilities support both the local iden-tification
of biometric evidence and the
querying of central biometric databases.
In the real world of intelligence gathering and law enforcement, the limitations of
traditional biometric techniques are becoming increasingly clear. Biometric information
is often collected under less-than-ideal conditions, making the data frequently incomplete
and difficult to analyze with traditional tools. Booz Allen Hamilton, a leading strategy
and technology consulting firm, develops and applies next-generation biometrics and
forensics technology to solve our clients’ most difficult identification challenges.

challenges and system vulnerabilities,
while developing countermeasures to deter
malicious attacks. As part of Booz Allen’s
identity protection and biometric security
engineering capability, we research, test,
and evaluate system vulnerabilities to give
clients a clear picture of the strengths
and weaknesses of their biometrics
systems and to ensure the protection
and security of their biometric data.
Biometrics and Identity
Intelligence Analytics.
What Else Can We Determine?
As biometric data and related informa-tion
sources rapidly expand, organizations
need to implement and leverage scalable
systems to process the increased flow of
bulk data from diverse media. Harnessing
the power of cloud analytics to decipher
trends and patterns within big data, Booz
Allen has developed a revolutionary cloud-enabled
identity architecture that advances
biometrics analysis by breaking down the
traditional stovepipes between biometrics
and all-source intelligence analysis into a
consolidated platform. It allows scalability,
vendor interoperability, and enhanced
analytics, improving the intelligence gained
from the data collected and delivering
a holistic view of an identity.
Remote Human Identification.
Who Is That?
With a partial or occluded face, inferior
lighting, or a blurred or off-angle image,
analysts often find that traditional,
commercial off-the-shelf biometric facial
identification tools are limited. Booz Allen’s
remote human identification capabilities
can help analysts pull critical identification
intelligence out of the most challenging
and occluded images, by evaluating smaller
image “patches” rather than relying on
just a whole face. Our facial and 3D
Body recognition capabilities expand the
quality and amount of available biometric
data; it does more of the groundwork and
allows agencies to deploy human analyst
resources more efficiently in identity intel-ligence
areas where they are needed.

and Identity Protection.
Is The Data Reliable?
Biometric and identity management
systems are marketed as a secure and
trusted means to identify and verify identi-ties.
However, these systems are suscep-tible
to myriad attacks, including biometric
spoofing; network penetration; database
manipulation; software hijacking; firmware
modification; and communication intercep-tion.
