This teardown is about the Mobile Ident III, a handheld fingerprint identification device from 3M Cogent. With forensic-quality fingerprints, high-resolution portraits, and multiple wireless interfaces, it was developed for military, law enforcement, and civil government applications. It stores up to 300,000 fingerprint templates, and submits NIST files to back-end matching systems for easy identification.

PIER™ is a rugged handheld iris recognition device with high accuracy and military-grade security. Using advanced lenses and the Daugman algorithm, it’s portable and runs on Phar Lap ETS. In this project I will do a complete teardown of this device.
