Automated Installation Entry (AIE) is the Department of the Army’s enterprise Installation electronic Physical Access Control system (ePACS) for authenticating personnel against multiple authoritative State and Federal databases.

It’s an interoperable and integrated solution that supports standardization and automation of Installation Access Control Point (IACP) operations generating efficiencies across the Army Security Enterprise. AIE is an Unclassified Information System that optimizes guard force utilization, increases pedestrian and vehicle throughput with enhanced security, and allows for adaptation of increased authentication requirements at high threat levels.

The AIE-Next contract will procure, field, and sustain AIE systems at approximately 92 potential new CONUS and OCONUS Government Installations and Facilities. AIE-Next scope includes sustainment and technology refresh for AIE-3 systems previously deployed to 98 Army CONUS Installations 2016-2024 under contract W911QY-15-D-0047. AIE-Next will build upon the AIE-3, Version 4 baseline configuration with insertion of required emerging COTS HW/SW capabilities while maintaining existing external interfaces. The system will be interoperable with other DoD-approved Physical Security access control systems and authoritative databases as required.
