About the Technology:
Click to View Full Size ImageCurrent commercially available biometric systems are not accurate or robust enough to meet the demanding requirements of a field deployable, tactical-grade identification system for mission critical security applications. The solution developed by Ultra-Scan Corporation utilizes the proven effectiveness of ultrasonic fingerprint imaging technology pioneered by Ultra-Scan to simultaneously image and match two adjacent fingers for rapid and positive identification.
 
Applications:   Military and Commercial Significance:
Ultra-Scan’s ultrasonic fingerprint readers have a number of significant advantages when used in demanding field environments, including insensitivity to contamination; superior accuracy (nearly 1000 times more accurate than traditional, single-finger biometric technology); and the ability to operate in demanding environments (tested to Mil-Std-810 to ensure long-term reliability).   This highly accurate identity management system revolutionizes automated fingerprint identification systems (AFIS) and battlefield personnel identification for key applications. For mobile field identification by both military and non-military personnel, the system integrates fingerprint authentication with Common Access Card (CAC) functionality and provides secure wireless communication. It easily retrofits into existing access control systems in a standalone or network configuration and operates outdoors in all environments. When used for patient and staff identification in a medical environment, it ensures positive and accurate identification through wireless e-script authentication with secure PC logon for compliance with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates.
