Among them, familiar to anyone who tries to get at their important GoogleDoc over an overtaxed wi-fi connection at Starbucks, is bandwidth. "Mobile support in Cloud Corps Nodes includes provisioning the handhelds as data receivers and summarization of query results for handheld," the Army command envisions.īut there are drawbacks to migrating the biometric data to the cloud. And supporting mobile operations is key to the whole cloud-storage project. That limits troops' ability to exploit it, particularly when they're mobile: troops who detain a suspicious person in, say, Djibouti won't necessarily know if he's already been nabbed in Iraq or Afghanistan or elsewhere. Integrating that into an intelligence database is a major shift, but more on that in a second.Ĭurrently, at least some biometric data is stored locally in the warzone of Afghanistan, in or around where soldiers and marines on patrol take it from locals and insurgents.

"Human Terrain" refers to an Army program in Iraq and Afghanistan that sought to map unfamiliar tribal networks and other social structures. The effort "involves the Entity management and tracking system for Biometrics/Human Terrain Facial recognition capability (photos, video) and edge-to-Cloud Enterprise Messaging (Corps/Division Node to/from Handheld," says the Army Intelligence and Security Command. Among the focuses of the project: "integrating Biometrics into the cloud," according to a description of the contract. The Army's Intelligence command recently awarded a sole-source contract to bring the classified Defense Cross-Domain Analytical Capability, a database storing various kinds of security-relevant information the Army collects, onto the proverbial "cloud" of distributed servers and networks.

soldiers snap a picture of your eye or scan your face, they're likely to store all that personal, physical data in the cloud.
