US Army developing facial recognition tech to scan people in moving cars at base gates
April 05, 2021 Ryan Morgan
Last week the U.S. Army put out a call for facial recognition technology to help security guards at military bases and facilities quickly identify whether an individual approaching the gate is authorized to enter. The branch will accept proposals from April 14 through May 18.
The Army wants a system that can be used at all hours of the day and in a variety of weather conditions, to better identify who is driving up to base gates and military facilities, and more quickly process those authorized to enter.
The Army said, “The current effort would use existing technology to develop a facial recognition system that has the capacity to detect passengers in a moving vehicle and compare the captured image of the driver to a photo gallery of preapproved users. The results would be displayed to the guard with a photo of the driver indicating an access granted or access denied response in time to allow uninterrupted vehicle traffic flow for approved users.â€
