Leidos advances DoD biometrics to the cloud

Leidos recently completed full cloud deployment of the Department of Defense’s, DoD, Automated Biometrics Information System, ABIS. This is the first step and a key enabling milestone to securing fully automated biometrics capabilities in the cloud, delivering increased system availability and performance to stakeholders globally. This work was performed through the Biometrics Enabling Capability, Increment One, BEC-1, contract. Under the BEC-1 contract, Leidos uses advanced engineering to integrate and deliver cutting-edge cloud technologies and multiple biometric matching modalities. This enables the platform to manage the U.S. Army’s authoritative system for biometrics data. Leidos improved the efficiency of the Biometrically Enabled Watch List Dissemination Management Functionality, which decreased the time required to process biometric data from days to hours.
