Operational Challenges

A multi-agency border checkpoint crossings. Processing teams must:

• Verify identity
• Determine if individuals are on watchlists
• Detect known threats or prior deportees
• Maintain processing speed
• Operate in austere conditions with unreliable connectivity

The checkpoint operates with:

• P25 LMR for tactical voice
• LTE for data backhaul
• SATCOM for redundancy
• Kenwood Kairos repeater
• Kenwood VP8000
• Interop Box
• Identity Warrior
• ESChat

Experiences

1. Individual arrives in a surge of migrants
2. Agent uses Android device running:
   • INSITE for biometric capture
   • Identity Warrior for watchlist management
3. Multi-modal capture performance:
   • Face
   • Fingerprints (contact or con)
   • Iris (if required)
   • Local watchlists (unlimited)
   • Customer-defined data
4. Software checks against:
   • Local watchlists (unlimited)
   • DoD ABIS (if network)
5. Match/no-match results:
   • If match:
     • TAK spot reporting
     • Alert transmitted
   • If no match:
     • Real-time biometric watchlist screening
     • Offline capability during network outages
     • Rapid throughput
     • Secure communications backhaul over P25/LTE/SATCOM

Results and Impact

• Real-time biometric watchlist screening
• Command center notified
