## What this funds

The FY 2027 Budget provides $15.0M to develop the HART system, a unified biometric platform that strengthens National security and public safety for DHS and its partners. HART supports multiple biometric modalities, is scalable for future needs, and ensures efficient, accurate identity verification across DHS missions. Funding will cover the development, deployment, and integration of advanced identity services, biometric tools, and enhanced analytics to meet the evolving needs of front-line personnel and decision-makers. ' Continued development of HART Core Foundational Infrastructure. ' Began parallel operations with IDENT and HART to refine HART system performance & message comparisons. ' Began operational assessment for production testing by an independent authority to focus on measures of performance and effectiveness. ' Conduct operational assessment for production testing by an independent authority to focus on measures of performance and effectiveness. ' Implement final on-boarding of latest IDENT stakeholders into HART. ' Initiate planning of future HART capabilities based on the requirements prioritized by HART stakeholders. ' Complete time sensitive, post-IOC, DHS priorities such as implementation of new biometric data sharing with key international mission ' Begin onboarding international partners to bilateral identity information exchanges under the Biometric Data Sharing Platform.
