IMAGE: NORFOLK, Va. – A Sailor from a Navy visit, board, search and seizure team is collecting a subject’s biometrics via fingerprints for possible subject identification in the Identity Dominance System (IDS). The system – to be upgraded with a Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD)-developed IDS technology refresh in fiscal year 2021 – collects biometrics such as face, finger, and iris images, and enrolls that information into a local database to match against known persons of interest. Once the information has been captured, the system sends the information back to the authoritative database. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, NSWCDD scientists and engineers transitioned to telework while developing software in support of a complete technology refresh focused on modifying the IDS form factor to be smaller and lighter with an enhanced system performance that increases computing power, speed, local matching and communications capabilities.

IMAGE: DAHLGREN, Va. – Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) Senior Contract Specialist Karen Lenox retired from the Contracts Department after 32 years at the end of January 2021. “When I look back over the workload I’ve had over the years, I always think back to when the war in Iraq got started up. I was supporting a couple of programs that directly supported the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was trying to move heaven and earth to make things happen the best I could when they had a requirement. I had a brother that went overseas. I would like to think I was at least helpful when it was really important,” said Lenox. In retirement, which Lenox calls a “phase of discovery,” she plans to travel in her teardrop camper.
