AI-based security systems provider BigBear.ai has announced the successful deployment of its veriScan biometric identity platform at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD).
The new platform has been implemented to support the US Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Enhanced Passenger Processing (EPP) programme at the Airport.
The platform utilises AI-enabled biometrics to confirm a traveller’s identity in real time, with CBP claiming that its new EPP programme has already reduced the average processing time for each passenger from 60 to 10 seconds.
Kevin McAleenan, Chief Executive Officer, BigBear.ai. said:Border security starts with trusted identity.
By combining BigBear.ai’s advanced biometric technologies with CBP’s strong security framework, we are helping to ensure that identity verification at O’Hare remains both frictionless and fortified, delivering confidence at one of the nation’s busiest international gateways.
