US Army Base Tests AI Facial Recognition For Threat Detection And Perimeter Monitoring

Joint Munitions Command, Public and Congressional Affairs said in a press release the system is “a real-time modular physical threat detection solution using artificial intelligence and deep neural learning computer vision to modernize existing electronic security systems.”

According to Biometric Update:

The U.S. Army has previously contracted Idemia NSS for computer vision and facial recognition tech, but the release does not specify which machine learning system or platform is being trialed at BGAD – only that it is “basically a software package that integrates with existing CCTV cameras” to detect “intruders, guns, fights, slips and falls, smoke and fire, facial recognition, and behavior anomalies of individuals.” Flags will send an alert to security response forces.
