Current Situation
Border, custom, and immigration management has become inordinately complicated in the 21st century, requiring a coordinated, concerted effort and technology investment by federal agencies. Legacy technology simply cannot keep up with the volume of cargo and people moving across borders. COVID-19 introduced another layer of complexity with border patrol having to suddenly screen for public health risks.
Goals and Objectives
The goal is to have secure borders and customs management as well as immigration and health management solutions to identify persons of interest or concern.
Technology Deployed
Hardware: IoT sensors and smartphones
Software: Machine learning, artificial intelligence, hybrid cloud services, thermal screening, advanced analytics, predictive analytics, and supply management technology
Use Case Summary
Leverage innovative technological solutions to ensure the safe transfer of people and cargo across borders. AI is increasingly being used at the border to detect anomalous trends in the movement of persons and goods.
