U.S. ARMY BIOMETRIC AUTOMATED TOOLSET (BAT) SOLUTION

During military operations, the U.S. Army needs to record biometric information on detainees and other persons of interest for identification and tracking purposes. Biometric Automated Toolset (BAT) is a portable system composed of mobile computers and supporting devices that capture a person's features, such as facial details and iris identification. BAT also incorporates an exceptionally accurate fingerprint capture and identification engine. The BAT program needs a rugged mobile computer solution that provides access to their biometrics database, even under the harsh conditions commonly encountered during military operations.

BAT program administrators use Panasonic Toughbook mobile computers because of their ability to meet strict standards for ruggedness and for their reliability. Furthermore, Panasonic partners with leading biometric technologies companies to provide BAT program administrators a fully mobile solution. The solution provides access to criminal background checks through the FBI's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) and BAT's own database. BAT program administrators also appreciate the low total life-cycle cost that stems from the durability and higher uptimes offered by Toughbook computers.
