In today’s operational landscape, law enforcement agencies and military units need fast, accurate, and reliable mobile biometric identification tools they can trust. Secure Planet™ is proud to announce that FABIS Mobile, our flagship portable biometric device, has officially achieved full DoD EBTS v4.1 Compliance. FABIS Mobile is a multi-modal biometric capability that can currently collect face, fingerprint (contact and contactless (by July)), voice, and scars, marks and tattoos. The application is currently certified for DoW EBTS v4.1 (Criminal Tenprint Submission (Answer Required) (CAR), Miscellaneous Applicant (MAP), and DoD Flat Print Rap Sheet Search (DPRS) standards by the Army’s Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC). This milestone reinforces our commitment to delivering mission‑ready, military‑grade mobile biometrics.
This certification isn’t just a technical achievement. It’s a powerful validation that FABIS Mobile meets the highest standards for mobile identity verification, Android biometric enrollment, and handheld facial recognition across defense, intelligence, and law enforcement operations.
What Is DoD EBTS v4.1 — and Why Does It Matter?
The Electronic Biometric Transmission Specification (EBTS) is the Department of Defense’s governing standard for how biometric data is formatted, packaged, and transmitted to authoritative systems like the DoD Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS). ABIS is a large‑scale Automated Biometric Identification System that stores, manages, and matches biometric data such as fingerprints, faces, and iris scans. It allows agencies to rapidly identify individuals by comparing new biometric inputs against massive, centralized databases used for security, defense, and law enforcement operations. Version 4.1 is the most current iteration, introducing updated transaction types, enhanced data field requirements, and tighter quality thresholds for biometric records.
For law enforcement and military-grade mobile biometrics, EBTS v4.1 compliance means:
- Seamless interoperability with DoD ABIS and other federal identity repositories
- Standardized record formatting across Type-1 through Type-14 biometric transaction records
- Reduced friction when sharing identity data across agencies, commands, and coalition partners
- Audit-ready data trails that satisfy federal evidentiary and operational requirements
In short: if your mobile biometric platform isn’t EBTS v4.1 compliant, your data may not talk to the systems that matter most. Check out DoD EBTS v4.1!
