El ministro Liam Byrne de la inmigración la semana pasada reveló un sistema imagen-basado £50,000 de la base de datos que asocia huellas digitales, una visa y un número único del pasaporte a un individuo. El sistema es el tablón más último del £400m del gobierno E-Fronteras plataforma de la tecnología del control de la frontera.
El sistema experimental para confirmar la identidad de visitantes al Reino Unido funcionará en el terminal del norte de Gatwick del septiembre de 2007 al abril de 2008, usando datos de aspirantes de la visa de Sierra Leona. If successful, the government may extend it to cover up to five million visitors a year from non-European countries, excluding the US. The pilot is part of a wider biometric-based border control system for the EU called BioDev 2. The BioDev 2 consortium members are Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain and the UK. A Home Office spokesman said the project is 80% funded by the EU. Britain has contributed about £28,000 to the European Commission for BioDev 2.
Motorola, Zetes and Sagem, which earlier supplied the iris recognition system for the Home Office’s “trusted traveller” scheme, are the three main suppliers to the BioDev project. Motorola supplied the Gatwick installation, and will install similar systems in other EU countries later.
Mike Lyne, assistant director at the Border & Immigration Agency, said the department is pleased with the system’s performance so far. Some 5,000 names and related images are in the pilot database.
Most come from the collection UKVisas has been building since September 2006, when giving biometric details became compulsory for visa applications from some countries.
Fred Preston, Motorola’s project leader, said the system finds a matching record in milliseconds.
