Abstract
Representatives of various US Government agencies trumpeted the benefits of biometric identification at the Biometrics 2001 Conference held in Arlington, Virginia. The conference was cosponsored by AFCEA International and the Department of Defense (DoD) Biometrics Management Office (DBMO). The DBMO’s director, Phillip Loranger, announced his desire for the Pentagon’s new Biometrics Fusion Center in Bridgeport, West Virginia to become a “repository for all DoD biometric databases.” Loranger’s boss, Army lieutenant general Peter Cuviello, the Army’s director of information systems for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I), said that although he did not see the Biometric Fusion Center growing in size to compete with the FBI’s Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) — which is also located in West Virginia — he could see data being fused into his centre from non-DoD players like the FBI.
