SAN DIEGO, CA — (Marketwired) — 08/07/13 — ImageWare Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: IWSY) (ImageWare), a leader in cloud-based, multi-modal biometric identity management solutions, has been awarded a $2.2 million contract by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) to expand its personal identity verification (PIV) credentialing capabilities.
Under the terms of the agreement, ImageWare will deliver software licenses during the third quarter of 2013, whereby the company will receive approximately $1.5 million in revenue. Additionally, ImageWare will receive service revenue valued at approximately $650,000 that will be recognized proportionally over the next year.
ImageWare-s biometric identity management solution was first installed with the VA in 2007.

As part of the system expansion, the VA will also be adopting ImageWare-s patented, hardware and algorithm independent Biometric Engine® 2.0, enabling the enrollment and management of unlimited population sizes.
“The U.S. Government has confirmed multi-modal biometric identity management as the only way to move forward as it offers a greater level of security and reliability,” said Jim Miller, chairman and CEO of ImageWare. “ImageWare-s proven track record of government experience executing best-of-breed patented, fully compliant biometric solutions will drive the standards for commercial adoption.
