(Huntsville, AL) -- Advanced Optical Systems, Inc. (AOS), a government contractor specializing in adding intelligence to optical systems, announced the release of a revolutionary long range fingerprint collection system called Agile AIRprint.Agile AIRprint automatically locates and tracks a subject up to three meters away and captures a fingerprint suitable for identifying that subject.The newly designed system builds upon the success of the original AIRprint long range fingerprint sensor (recently named one of Popular Science Magazine's Top 100 innovations of the year) and requires much less cooperation and training.

The announcement of the new Agile AIRprint device brings to fruition the original vision of the AIRprint device.By coupling the groundbreaking AIRprint sensor with target tracking and identification algorithms, AOS has delivered a fingerprint sensor that automatically collects fingerprints without physical contact and without precision placement of the subject's hand.

AOS President Dr. Keith Farr called the development "a transformational leap forward in fingerprint biometrics collection.By removing the need to touch anything or to even precisely place a finger in a specific location, the Agile AIRprint device puts a whole range of new operational concepts within reach."

AOS is a Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) located in Huntsville, Alabama's high tech hub.AOS specializes in delivering image processing, proximity operations, and target recognition hardware and software to the Department of Defense and NASA.
