Further to earlier 2 posts (and one duplicate) following are links to articles re US Govt ID plans, 2 of which name Northrop Grumman as contenders for the contracts. In the case of US-VISIT, if you read linked articles as well, you can get more info and I personally have decided US-VISIT will "piggyback" (US term used in connection with DHS employees ID superimposed on TWIC) onto the TWIC, and I am certain only ERG Group of Australia has the technology to implement these cards, which will clearly be multiple use and across a multitude of databases etc. Even if ERG is not selected as main tech for China, they will be called upon to later superimpose their tech as in Washington DC to allow more complex system implementation at a later date.
