Defense Manpower Data Center SWFT


Challenge: To provide a web-enabled system to transmit electronic fingerprints (e fingerprints) for applicants requiring investigation for personnel security clearance. The software needed to be both non-proprietary and also scalable to meet future needs.
Delivery: ATSC designed, developed, deployed and maintains the Secure Web Fingerprint Transmission (SWFT), a store and forward system for use by cleared industry contractors to submit electronic fingerprints and demographic information for employee applicants who require an investigation by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for a personnel security clearance. ATSC successfully developed and deployed SWFT within a six month period in order to meet a system implementation deadline.
Results: The SWFT system accepts fingerprint files uploaded by cleared contractors whose records are matched against approved submissions provided by Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS). SWFT determines which fingerprints are valid and can be released, and automatically forwards them from the SWFT Database Server to OPM. Once released, the fingerprints are automatically deleted from the SWFT database. Since deployment in July 2009, SWFT has processed over 12,000 e-fingerprints. The goal of the SWFT system is to eliminate paper-based capture and handling of fingerprints and thus expedite the clearance process by reducing delays caused by invalid fingerprint submissions, and to provide end-to-end accountability.
