Establish identity dominance in the field quickly and accurately.


L-1 offers the most advanced and complete mobile identification solutions based on field-proven, widely-deployed components that enable end users to quickly and accurately identify subjects in the field.

In the global war on terror, identity dominance is critical especially in the field with terrorists or insurgents typically hiding among the civilian population.

Biometrics and identity management are key enablers in the global war on terror able to save lives and essential to managing information-related risks.

L-1 solutions for remote identification support multiple biometrics, enabling officers to verify an identity via a suspect’s finger, face or iris pattern.

L-1 mobile ID solutions for military applications help:

  • Identify subjects who are without any identification documents or with potentially false identification documents
  • Verify if the subject is the legitimate owner of the document presented
  • Authenticate the legitimacy of the document provided
  • Enroll subject’s biometric and demographic information for future identification or verification
