The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The U.S. Army at Fort Benning has contracted with Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc., an access control and wireless security system, to provide them with the Defense ID access control system. The $809,853 contract is for equipment, software, installation, training and warranties.

Utilizing Intellicheck Mobilisa’s ID reading technology, Defense ID quickly scans various forms of IDs, such as driver’s licenses, military IDs or passports, and instantly compares the data to more than 100 “bad guy” lists.

Fort Benning, near Columbus, supports more than 120,000 personnel each day, and is considered a power-projection platform, capable of deploying combat-ready forces by air, rail and highway. The post is home to the Army’s Airborne School as well as the U.S. Army Infantry School, the primary training facility for Infantry enlistees.
