Real-Time Identification Authentication Solution Alerts Security
Officers to Potential Threats
Intellicheck
Mobilisa, Inc. (NYSE MKT:IDN), a leader in identity authentication,
verification and validation solutions, today announced the Company has
been awarded a contract by the Fort Sill Army installation for
additional units of its Defense ID™ solution.
The new contract upgrades the Intellicheck system currently in place
with a combination of new Defense ID handhelds, workstations, and a
Visitor/Vendor Registration and Credentialing Center running on hardened
laptop equipment. Expanded use of Intellicheck’s real-time
identification authentication solution will increase the capability of
installation security personnel to instantly confirm the identity of,
and assess the potential threat pertaining to, every individual who
seeks access to the Army base.
Located just north of Lawton, Okla., Fort Sill's 94,000 acres serve as
home to a military population of approximately 16,500 together with a
civilian workforce of about 7,000. Fort Sill is designated as the U.S.
Army Fires Center of Excellence (FCoE) and includes the U.S. Army Field
Artillery School, U.S. Army Air Defense Artillery School, the Marine
Corps Field Artillery MOS School, U.S. Army 31st Air Defense Artillery
Brigade, Army Basic Combat Training Center, Non-Commissioned Officer
Academy and a Field Artillery Brigade. Approximately 60,000 family
members live on post or in the surrounding communities, and there are
approximately 23,300 military retirees living in the region. Fort Sill
has played a significant role in every major American conflict since
1869.
Security personnel use Defense ID to increase situational awareness at
restricted facilities by instantly authenticating the identification of
visitors, vendors, and employees seeking site access and enabling
rules-based access decision support, while improving operational
efficiencies. Security personnel never have to lose sight of a contact
as mobile devices scan the bar code of driver licenses from all U.S.
states and Canadian Provinces, as well as military and other
identification documents issued by government agencies. Defense ID
alerts security officers of a potential threat by comparing a visitor’s
identification card information with information available from public
and government data sources in real time. The system subsequently
determines if the identification is fake or stolen, whether the person
is on Be-On-the-Look-Out (BOLO) lists, may be the subject of law
enforcement wants and warrants, or listed for military base debarments
and driving suspensions.
In addition to computer-based applications, the rules-based engine can
be set to allow visitation only at certain pre-designated times to
specific parts of the site. Defense ID’s durable handheld mobile devices
assure base personnel maximum flexibility for patrol and special events.
Intellicheck Mobilisa CEO Dr. William Roof commented, "Defense ID is
being increasingly deployed by US Army facilities such as Ft Sill,
because it provides instantaneous access to critical information that
protects people and property. We know that the security environment is
constantly evolving, which is why we have added features and
functionality to make our application mobile, interoperable with
multiple standard and proprietary information sources and flexible in
terms of programmable rules. We have enjoyed a long partnership with
Fort Sill and it is a privilege to continue to provide our troops and
their extended community with our industry leading solution. As a
graduate of the Field Artillery Officer Basic Course (FAOBC) at Fort
Sill, I am particularly pleased to be working, once again, with our
terrific soldiers there. Fort Sill is among the 23 military
installations and 16 U.S. ports across the US that currently deploy
Defense ID and we expect increasing adoption of our military-grade
security solution."
