LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, Nov. 7, 2019 — Trueface, a leading developer of computer vision solutions, announced today that the Air Force has awarded the company its second contract this year to deploy facial recognition, license plate recognition and weapon detection on military bases in order to expedite the ingress process as well as enhance overall base security.

Trueface computer vision solutions will augment security forces’ capability, enhancing overall base security.

When visitors and military personnel enter a base through a security checkpoint, their credentials and vehicle license plate are manually checked for security purposes. While critically important to base security, this process takes time resulting in long lines and inefficiencies. The Air Force will utilize Trueface facial recognition and license plate recognition technologies to augment checkpoint teams’ ability to assess visitors more quickly while maintaining the same high level of security.

Within the base, the Air Force will utilize Trueface weapon detection to enhance general security by monitoring the movement of firearms outside of designated areas and having the ability to respond faster to active shooter incidents.

Trueface had already been awarded a Phase I contract by the Air Force earlier this year to provide research into the most impactful use cases for computer vision to be used at Air Force bases. With the award of Phase II, Trueface will put that research into practice and deploy its technologies on base by January 2020.

As a US-based company, Trueface is excited to continue developing its close relationship with the Air Force and enhancing base security with its computer vision solutions in order to empower military intelligence and security.
