Human Recognition Systems (HRS), a developer of biometric and other identity management solutions, has announced they will be showcasing some of their iris and biometric on the move technology at the Counter Terror Expo at London’s Olympia on April 14 and 15.

The technology HRS will be showcasing is specially designed for use collecting biometric data at crime scenes as well as to protect Forward Operating Bases.


Other technology pertinent to the expo that HRS is working on includes their MFlow Exit Lane, a human behavioral and video analytics system, which is being used to detect unauthorized people moving in restricted areas in airports. Despite the system currently being used in airports, HRS officials believe it could be just as useful at military institutions where suspicious behavior can be just as dangerous. [end]
