Competitive Advantage

Differences from existing solutions

Biometrics have become a critical component of modern tactical operations, including for warfighters, police investigators, firefighters, and first responders, but existing solutions often fail in disconnected or network-restricted environments. Traditional systems rely heavily on centralized databases and network connections that can be compromised in remote or contested areas. Therefore, identity and address query challenges require solutions that provide secure devices to allow tactical teams to perform fast and reliable biometric identification anytime and anywhere. Identifi was developed by Reveal Technologies in collaboration with USSOCOM and has been extensively field-tested to set a new standard for edge biometrics.

Versatility and easy integration

Identifi's platform-agnostic design enables it to be used with any Android device, adapting to the needs of different organizations and operating environments. The system's modular architecture supports rapid updates and integrations, ensuring Identifi remains at the forefront of biometric technology.

Operational impact

Use Case Scenario

In remote and harsh areas, Identifi allows special forces (including prosecutors, police investigators, firefighters and rescue workers) to quickly verify the identity of high-value individuals (HVIs) or potential adversaries. The system's rapid, highly accurate matching and watch list capabilities make it an ideal tool for checkpoints, gates and other access control scenarios where speed and accuracy are critical.

Performance Evaluation

In field testing, Identifi demonstrated an operator-preferred user interface, matching accuracy and reliability, meeting or exceeding performance benchmarks set by USSOCOM and other military stakeholders.

System Overview

Identifi combines a powerful Android app with a customizable hardware peripheral, IDsled, to provide a comprehensive biometric solution. The system enables advanced biometric data collection and matching. Key features of Identifi include:

Facial Recognition

Identifi uses advanced algorithms to provide fast, accurate and unbiased facial recognition, providing reliable recognition in a variety of lighting and environments.

Contact and contactless fingerprint recognition

Identifi supports both traditional contact fingerprint recognition through the integrated IB Five-0 sensor, as well as contactless fingerprint recognition using only the smartphone's rear camera. This method enables operators to quickly capture high-quality fingerprint images that comply with the Electronic Biometric Transmission Standard (EBTS) without the use of additional equipment.

Iris Scan

Iris scanning for both eyes, powered by IriTech IriShield sensors, ensures accurate and efficient capture even in direct sunlight, meeting stringent DoD and NIST standards.

Voice Collection

Identifi uses recording devices to easily capture and export voice samples.

ID Scanning

Integrated OCR technology allows users to automatically scan and digitize more than 2,000 identification documents from 140 countries, streamlining the entry of demographic data.

整合ATAK：

The system’s ATAK plugin enables seamless sharing of biometric matches with users on the TAK network, enhancing situational awareness and communication between tactical teams.

Local watchlist creation

Watchlist creation allows operators to create and manage custom watchlists directly on the device, allowing new encounters or mission-specific profiles to be added without relying on external databases.

Technical capabilities

Biometric Matching

Identifi performs biometric matching entirely on the device, comparing captured data to a watch list on the device, without the need for external connections. This feature ensures immediate access to identification data, which is critical for operations in communications-restricted environments. Identifi's matching algorithm is characterized by high accuracy and fast processing time. Against a watchlist of more than 100,000 individual records on the device, Identifi achieved single-modal facial matching in less than five seconds and multi-modal search (face, fingerprint, iris) in less than a minute.

Compliance and security

Identifi adheres strictly to DoD EBTS v1.2 and v4.1 standards, ensuring compatibility with existing military biometric systems. Data security is a cornerstone of Identifi’s design, with 256-bit AES encryption and a secure processing path to protect sensitive biometric information. Isolating data processing eliminates the need for network connectivity, further reducing vulnerability to network threats.

Biometric hardware: IDSLED

The IDsled packs dual biometric capabilities into a rugged, compact design, featuring an iris scanner for both eyes and a contact fingerprint reader. The iris scanner captures high-resolution images (640 x 480 pixels) at an optimal 14.5 cm distance and features secure onboard processing and encryption. The fingerprint reader can capture images with 500 ppi resolution in an area of ​​81.28 x 50.80 mm, supporting high-speed, high-precision rolled and flat fingerprints. Both sensors are fully compliant with FBI Appendix F, STQC and other critical safety and environmental standards, ensuring robust performance in a variety of field conditions.

In conclusion

Identifi represents a paradigm shift in biometrics for disconnected and agile teams. Its field-proven AI-driven approach provides frontline operators with immediate, actionable intelligence, making it an indispensable asset in modern tactical operations. As defense environments become increasingly complex, Identifi’s powerful on-device biometric capabilities will continue to support warfighters, improving security and operational effectiveness in any environment.
