My favorites:

1. Biometric Detector project - contact less acquisition of fingerprint biometric signatures for identity management.

2. Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST) project - real-time, non-invasive sensor technologies to detect cues indicative of mal-intent (the intent or desire to cause harm) rapidly, reliably, and remotely.

3. Multi-modal Biometrics - accurately and rapidly identify individuals. The operational goal is to provide the capability to non-intrusively collect two or more biometrics (fingerprint, face image, and iris recognition) in less than ten seconds at a ninety-five percent acquisition rate without impeding the movement of individuals.

‎4. Passive Methods for Precision Behavioral Screening project - develop technologies that will enable increased automation and throughput, using non-intrusive, undetectable technologies that screen for behavioral and psychological cues of a person’s intent to commit a harmful act, conducting the screening at safe standoff ranges.

‎5. Rapid DNA project - rapid and low-cost DNA-based family relationships (kinship) verification to improve immigration efficiency for legal kinship applicants, reduce kinship fraud, provide for family reunifications, and conduct DNA watch lists checks (where appropriate).
