As the AIE prime contractor, Leidos has transformed the Army's enterprise Physical Access Control System to a fully extensible cloud-based solution with advanced biometrics modalities. The system is designed to expedite access control for authorized personnel and vehicles, validating identification credentials against authoritative and law enforcement databases.

Leidos will perform work on-site at Army and Joint-Service installations, with systems engineering and test activities primarily executed at their Edgewood, Maryland facility. The cloud deployment aims to provide near real-time updates to authentication requirements in response to changing force protection conditions.

Leidos ha ricevuto un contratto di 249 milioni di dollari dal Comando Contratti dell'Esercito per migliorare la sicurezza in 92 ulteriori punti di controllo per l'accesso a installazioni dell'Esercito e selezionati servizi congiunti in tutto il mondo. Il contratto per la prossima generazione di Entrata Automatica nelle Installazioni (AIE) ha un periodo di attuazione di sei anni.

In qualità di appaltatore principale AIE, Leidos ha trasformato il Sistema di Controllo Accesso Fisico dell'Esercito in una soluzione completamente estensibile basata sul cloud con modalità biometriche avanzate.

Le déploiement sur le cloud vise à fournir des mises à jour presque en temps réel des exigences d'authentification en réponse à l'évolution des conditions de protection des forces.

Leidos wurde vom Army Contract Command mit einem Vertrag über 249 Millionen Dollar beauftragt, um die Sicherheit an 92 zusätzlichen Zugangskontrollpunkten der Armee und ausgewählten Joint-Service-Installationen weltweit zu verbessern.

Leidos wird vor Ort an Armee- und Joint-Service-Installationen arbeiten, wobei die Systemeingenieur- und Testaktivitäten hauptsächlich in ihrer Einrichtung in Edgewood, Maryland durchgeführt werden. Der Cloud-Einsatz zielt darauf ab, nahezu in Echtzeit Aktualisierungen der Authentifizierungsanforderungen als Reaktion auf sich ändernde Schutzbedingungen bereitzustellen.
