Abstract:

This document describes the strategy the Defense Biometric and Forensic Office DBFO will pursue to identify and assess research, development, test and evaluation RDTE projects. The DBFO created this strategy from guidance published in the Department of Defense DoD Research and Engineering Strategy and the realignment of its higher headquarters from Rapid Fielding to Emerging Capability Prototyping ECP. The goal of this strategy is to guide the development and promulgation of a forthcoming biometric and forensic RDTE project plan and investment strategy that this office will use to inform its investment decisions in the future. This strategy will also serve as one of the DBFO s mechanisms to inform the DoD biometric and forensic communities on this office s shift from addressing current threats to responding to emerging threats.
