UVeye Unveils AI-Based Underbody Vehicle “Fingerprint” System
UVeye has introduced new artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology for creating a virtual “fingerprint” of any vehicle that has an underbody scan by the company’s inspection systems. “A vehicle with stolen license plates, for example, could easily be identified in the future with a UVeye underbody scan,” says Amir Hever, the company’s CEO. He says the technology can be used at data centers, correctional facilities, airports, border crossings, hotel entrances, seaports and in other use cases. Earlier this year, UVeye introduced UV Inspect, which it says can instantly identify bombs, weapons, drugs and other security threats concealed in the undercarriage of new or unfamiliar vehicles.
CBP, LAWA Expanding Biometrics for Travelers at LAX
Customs and Border Protection says it is working with Los Angeles World of Airports to expand the use of facial recognition technology at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to improve the arrival and departure processes for passengers. In August, CBP says it and partner airlines began conducting biometric exit processing on select departing international flights at LAX. Biometric exit is deployed at 20 airports encompassing 21 terminals where the agency has partnered with airlines and airports. Simplified arrival, which involves the use of facial recognition for all arriving passengers on international flights into the U.S., will be deployed at LAX, CBP says. Simplified arrival is deployed at 18 airports, encompassing 20 terminals, which includes four overseas preclearance locations. In July, the agency deployed new Global Entry kiosks at all of the airport’s international terminals. The new kiosks integrate facial biometrics, reducing the amount of information a traveler must provide at the kiosks to verify his or her identity by no lingering having them submit fingerprints and a passport scan. The new kiosks of reduced the processing time of pre-approved members by nearly 90 percent, from 45 seconds to less than six seconds. Global Entry offers expedited customs processing for enrolled U.S. citizens and select foreign nationals entering the U.S.
SRC Demonstrates On-the-Move C-UAS Technology
SRC, Inc. says it has recently demonstrated its Silent Archer counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) technology in an on-the-move configuration at the Apollyon test event at Eglin AFB, Fla. The company integrated systems from Persistent Systems, Copious Imaging, and Defense Research Associates for the demonstration. SRC says that Silent Archer detected, tracked and defeated UAS while moving using integrated radar, optical, electronic warfare and cyber subsystems. SRC’s SkyChaser radar was used as part of the solution. Silent Archer was the only on-the-move C-UAS solution demonstrated.
