SOCOM Adopts New Battlefield Biometrics System Identifi for Field Use
U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) has formally adopted Reveal Technology's Identifi biometric tool as a program of record. The mobile app collects fingerprints, facial scans, iris data, and voice recognition, cross-referencing them with the DoD's ABIS database to identify individuals or enemy combatants. Originally developed by DFL Technology, Identifi won SOCOM's Tactical Biometric Event in 2023. Reveal acquired DFL in 2024, has received over $13 million in DoD contracts, and raised $30 million in Series B funding. SOCOM has begun fielding the system, with broader deployment planned through fiscal year 2026.

SOCOM begins fielding new battlefield biometrics system
U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) has formally adopted Reveal Technology's Identifi biometric tool as a program of record. The mobile application allows operators to collect fingerprints, facial scans, iris data, and voice recognition in the field, cross-referencing them with the Department of Defense's Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) to identify individuals or enemy combatants. Originally developed by DFL Technology through a SOFWERX contract, Identifi won SOCOM's Tactical Biometric Event in 2023. Reveal acquired DFL in 2024 and has since worked on the project. CEO Garrett Smith, a former Marine who deployed to Afghanistan, noted the system replaces decades-old technology. SOCOM has begun fielding the tool and plans broader deployment throughout the fiscal year. Reveal has received over $13 million in DoD contracts since 2019 and raised $30 million in Series B funding in 2025.
