The Forensic Data Extraction (FDE) Process

The Defense Computer Forensics Laboratory detects and provides early warning of worldwide threats to the Department of Defense and national assets. Its personnel support counterintelligence operations and investigations to detect and neutralize espionage, sabotage and terrorism against U.S. assets. It also provides case support to criminal investigations run by the Defense Criminal Investigative Organizations.

Any allegation of the offense of child pornography warrants a rapid response due to potential further victimization. The lab’s new process reduces child pornography case turn-around time by at least 70 percent. It provides better assistance to DCIO case agents, and much more tailored products for trial support. This system expedites the through put of case media volume, which increases exponentially by the year due to advancing storage capabilities.
