FBI Launches Next Generation Identification System

  • Apr 19, 2011

MorphoTrak (Safran group), along with the FBI and Lockheed Martin recently announced the successful launch of the Next Generation Identification (NGI) system. NGI incorporates the Morpho Biometric Search Services (MBSS) as the core processing and matching capability using 10 fingerprints.

This milestone is the culmination of a highly competitive evaluation of system performance and long-term value. MorphoTrak’s innovative technology is able to fuse several algorithms in its solution, including one from BIO-key International, a U.S. partner.

“Our MBSS solution provides the accuracy, throughput and speed required for the world’s largest law enforcement identification system,” said Daniel Vassy, president and CEO of MorphoTrak. “The operational milestone was a banner day for MorphoTrak, the FBI and the more than 18,000 law enforcement agencies that rely on this system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.”

MorphoTrak’s MBSS solution was incorporated into NGI through a subcontract agreement with Lockheed Martin, who is leading NGI development for the FBI.

NGI delivers an incremental replacement of the FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS). This phase of the NGI project involves the core biometric processing and matching capability using 10 fingerprints -- the basis for most law enforcement and other systems requiring the highest accuracy. Law Enforcement agencies throughout the U.S. and civil agencies doing background checks will use the NGI system.

    Shooter Detection Systems (SDS), an Alarm.com company and a global leader in gunshot detection solutions, has introduced ResponderLink, a groundbreaking new 911 notification service for gunshot events. ResponderLink completes the circle from detection to 911 notification to first responder awareness, giving law enforcement enhanced situational intelligence they urgently need to save lives. Integrating SDS’s proven gunshot detection system with Noonlight’s SendPolice platform, ResponderLink is the first solution to automatically deliver real-time gunshot detection data to 911 call centers and first responders. When shots are detected, the 911 dispatching center, also known as the Public Safety Answering Point or PSAP, is contacted based on the gunfire location, enabling faster initiation of life-saving emergency protocols.
