Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology

From Cory Doctorow's 11-2-17 Boing Boing post entitled "The DHS Is Buying a New Database to Store Biometrics for 500 Million People":

"The DHS's old 'IDENT' database is full, with 240,000,000 records in a system designed to hold 200,000,000; so they're paying arms-dealers and erstwhile comic-book superheroes Northrop Grumman $93,000,000 to develop a new system called Homeland Advanced Recognition Technology (HART), which will grow to encompass biometrics for 500,000,000 people, including hundreds of millions of Americans."
