Concepts and Technologies (C&T)
Mission / Purpose
The intent of BIMA’s Concepts and Technologies Branch (C&T) is to explore the efficient identification and transition of essential biometric capabilities to DoD. Through C&T, BIMA ensures warfighters have the right biometric solutions for success across the entire range of military and business operations.
Concepts and Technologies Branch Overview
- Establish a forum, governance structure, and process to oversee and coordinate the Defense Biometrics Science and Technology (S&T) portfolio
- Leverage the best technology available from both government and commercial sources to develop capabilities and maintain the advantages that our warfighters need throughout the life of developed systems
- Align initiatives across the Joint and Interagency S&T and Acquisition communities
- Transition technology into new and current systems with minimal burden to the warfighter
Science and Technology Coordination
BIMA works with various organizations and working groups across the National Security S&T community, including partners within the interagency, academia, industry and international governments.
