Key Takeaways:

• Independent testing ensures AI-based biometric systems perform reliably across real-world conditions—far beyond vendor claims
• Testing-as-a-service eliminates costly, time-consuming in-house efforts, accelerating deployment without compromising rigor
• OMB mandates performance-based acquisition; external testing supports compliance while reducing operational and procurement risks

Biometrics performance is mission critical

Mission Need

As a cornerstone of U.S. innovation infrastructure, the USPTO must ensure its technology environment can keep pace with rapidly evolving demands, from surging patent volumes to increasing expectations for transparency, speed and self-service. Modernizing the agency’s Information Technology (IT) backbone is not simply about improving internal workflows, it’s about enabling economic growth, securing global competitiveness and delivering digital-first public services.

Eighty-seven percent of U.S. federal leaders say that mission integration is a massive or significant contribution to service or agency success. Yet only 31% have achieved it. While leaders acknowledge implementation challenges, they know the key capabilities for operationalizing mission integration.

Client: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

The Need  

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) depends on highly trained air traffic controllers to manage the complex and dynamic flow of air traffic at airports nationwide and within its airspace. Effective training of both future and current air traffic controllers is vital to maintaining the safety and efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS) and ensuring the highest safety standards for the flying public.  

The Solution
