Tech5 has announced a strategic contract with Leidos to provide support for the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Biometric-Enabled Capability Increment 1 (BEC-1) contract.
The BEC-1 contract provides the DoD’s Automated Biometrics Information System (ABIS) with biometric identification and verification capabilities for decision-making, threat detection and force protection at all levels. The ABIS allows military branches to flag individuals of interest, putting them on a biometrically-enabled watch list. Tech5’s partnership with Leidos on the BEC-1 contract highlights the pivotal role of biometrics in national security.
