The U.S. Department of Defense Biometrics Fusion Center (BFC) is involved in many biometrics initiatives that support the warfighter. These include: 24/7 assistance on the Biometric Identification System for Access (BISA) and other fielded systems; an exhaustive search for the best biometric systems to meet emerging requirements; outreach to build relationships across all DoD and governmental entities to leverage lessons learned; and test and evaluation of biometric hardware and software bound for use within DoD and other federal agencies.
