As the U.S. Army’s project director for tactical biometrics systems, Margaret Patton delivers biometric capabilities to soldiers in the field while managing costs, schedules and performance. Her responsibilities also include supervising the Biometric Automated Toolset and Biometric Identification System for Access for the Central Command.
In addition, Patton is involved in a joint effort called the Biometric Family of Capabilities for Full Spectrum Operations, which is a Department of Defense special interest program. Its goal is to provide the capability to capture, transmit, store, share, retrieve, exploit and display biometrics data from multiple targets.
