Technology’s Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS®), users are able to share and compare thousands of ballistic exhibits in a matter of hours within national boundaries. Integrated Ballistic Identification System (IBIS)/National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) Program Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory March 2012 FORENSIC LABORATORY Benefits of IBIS/NIBIN to Law Enforcement Match previously unlinked violent fire-arm crimes Reduce the number of unsolved fire-arms cases Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) program. In partnership with Forensic Technology, this network connects Currently, two such automated systems have a prominent place in United States forensic laboratories, namely, IBIS (Integrated Ballistics Identification System) [ I] … Through the Integrated Ballistic Identification System (IBIS) software developed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the data is then cross-referenced and any potential candidates are identified as a match.³ The IBIS Brasstrax systems image the primer (breech face) area, the firing pin impressions, and the ejector markings of fired cartridge cases, and the Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS1) [3] manufactured by Forensic Technology Inc., now part of Ultra Electronics. Through the NIBIN program, the ATF deploys Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS) equipment to state and local law enforcement agencies for their use in imaging and comparing crime firearms evidence. Each station consists of an automated optical microscope with special fixtures for cartridge cases and bullets and an interface to a regional database of ballistics … (National Integrated Ballistics Information Network)/ (Integrated Ballistics Identification System) 1.0 INTRODUCTION. Employee must be able to sort evidence cartridge cases by class characteristics to be entered into the system. The FTIU utilizes two separate IBIS components: IBIS BrassTrax 3D, and IBIS Matchpoint +. It should be noted that these systems are not designed to substitute the firearms examiner, but only to assist in his task. 1.1 .

The equipment allows Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms , and Explosives (ATF) which contains digital images and information of firearms related evidence pertaining to cartridge cases. The Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS) is a computerized system that acquires digital images of fired cartridge cases collected from crime scenes and test-fired cartridge cases from firearms seized during criminal investigations. The acquired images are entered into the National Integrated Ballistic Instructions are then entered into the system to conduct comparisons of this evidence against the system’s database. IBIN is a platform for the large-scale international sharing and comparing of ballistics data. the Integrated Ballistic Identification System (IBIS) using optical and electronic technology.
