The top three revenue contributing technology segments are discussed below:
Global fingerprint identification biometrics market in military
In 2015, fingerprint identification biometrics accounted for more than 45% of the global military biometrics market. The growth of the fingerprint biometric technology market is attributable to the growing adoption of mobile and hand-held biometrics. The US military is planning to upgrade its tactical biometrics with Identity Dominance System 2. The military has been enrolling Afghanistan citizens’ fingerprints into CrossMatch‘s Secure Electronic Enrollment Kit (SEEK-II) system. It is a ruggedized computer with a built-in fingerprint scanner, digital camera, and iris scanner. The SEEK II digital fingerprint reader requires the finger to be rolled to get a complete print, in addition to ‘flat’ prints; this technology was certified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
“The global market is currently experiencing an upsurge in the demand for multimodal biometrics. Much of the demand is spurred by the growing use of a combination of two or more biometric technologies for identification and verifications of individuals by security agencies. Multimodal biometrics identifies a person by using two or more biometric technologies like fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, or finger vein pattern or any combination of fingerprint, iris, and voice for secure authentication. These biometric systems provides more accurate results than using a single biometrics,” says Moutushi Saha, a lead analyst at Technavio for defense.
Global facial recognition biometrics market in military
The global facial recognition biometrics market in the military sector was valued at more than $1 billion in 2015. Facial recognition biometrics is widely used in border security and surveillance. During the forecast period, factors such as the illegal immigration across the Europe, Asia, and North America and the development of advanced technologies that can be integrated with facial recognition devices are expected to propel the demand for facial recognition biometrics, leading to the growth of the market.
Global iris recognition biometrics market in military
Iris recognition technology is increasingly being used as it is considered as the most accurate identification biometric technology. An iris scanner captures high-resolution pictures of an individual’s eye and provides real-time identification of an individual. This technology is predominantly used in places that demand high and strict security such as R&D labs of defense ministries, technology development centers, and critical infrastructure facilities. Several security programs are based on iris scanning, some of which include e-passports, multiple advanced authentication mechanisms, the US Visitor and Immigration Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program, the Next Generation Automated Biometric Identification System (NG-ABIS), the Joint Personnel Identification (JPI) project, the Unique Identification (Number) Authority of India (UIDAI) Project, and ABIS.
The top leading vendors operating in the global military biometrics market are:
- 3M Cogent
- Crossmatch
- M2SYS Technology
- NEC
- Safran
Other prominent vendors in the market include 4Gid, AGNITIO, Aware, BIO-key International, Corvus Integration, Fujitsu, Fulcrum Biometrics, Gemalto, Giesecke & Devrient, HID Global, Northrop Grumman, Precise Biometrics, Suprema, and Thales.
