Coast Guard Plans To Upgrade Biometrics At Sea Program

摘要

The Coast Guard last week began seeking information for an upgraded biometric capability for its cutter crews in carrying out law enforcement interdictions at sea. The Biometrics at Sea (BASS) 3.0 effort will include the capture of fingerprints, face and iris images of migrants, suspected criminals and others interdicted at sea but only requires matching of fingerprints and iris images by Coast Guard crews aboard the cutter, according to a system requirements document released on June 25. The system must also be capable of ingesting biographic data, it says.
