U.S. and Foreign Military Service Solutions



Meeting defense & intelligence needs in areas of conflict.


Today’s global war on terrorism requires a different type of approach. The accurate identification and timely tracking of identities is critical to success. American and foreign military services, defense and intelligence agencies rely on L-1 solutions and services to help determine ally from enemy and establish identity dominance in areas of conflict in just minutes. As a result, L-1 customers are better able to:

  • Protect Military Personnel and Civilian Populations

    L-1 solutions help protect the lives of personnel, allies and partners of military operations. The solutions include a combination of biometric tools for enrollment, registration, verification, authentication, real-time screening and background checks. In addition, biometric-based access control solutions protect military bases, secure areas from unauthorized access and grant privileges to those with proper clearances.
  • Deny Anonymity to Adversaries

    L-1 solutions play a vital role in denying anonymity to adversaries, providing quick and accurate identity verification in areas of conflict. The solutions help customers to identify, track, capture and detain criminals and terrorists contained in watchlists according to threat level. Biometric-based tools from L-1 are used as part of detainee processing, forensic/intelligence analysis and
    terrorism prevention.
