ATSC is developing, deploying, and maintaining a web-enabled biometric system to transmit electronic fingerprints to DSS and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) as part of the security clearance background investigation process.

The SWFT system allows cleared contractors to submit electronic fingerprints and identifying information to DSS for applicants who require an investigation by the OPM for a personnel security clearance. The pilot for the system was conducted in 2008, with implementation and deployment planned under the new contract.

"The SWFT award represents new work and a new customer for ATSC's public safety business and further expands our information sharing-related work at the federal level specifically in biometrics and cybersecurity," said Valerie Perlowitz, ATSC senior vice president. "We're pleased to serve a critical role in enhancing the personnel security investigative process with new technology to improve the efficiency of the system," she added.

ATSC is a leading provider of software and systems development, systems integration, infrastructure management and outsourcing, information sharing and consulting to the Department of Defense, Federal civilian agencies, public safety and national security customers, as well as commercial enterprises. Headquartered in McLean, Virginia, the Company has more than 600 employees at 12 locations across the country.
