The Advanced Tactical Facial Recognition at a Distance Technology project is being carried out for US Special Operations Command (SOCOM). It commenced in 2016, and a working prototype was demonstrated in December 2019, paving the way for a production version. SOCOM says the research is ongoing, but declined to comment further.

Heck, I can't even recognize my wife from more than five meters, if there are other White haired pretty ladies around. And I sure don't recognize the face in the mirror looking back at me in the morning. Whoever it is, has way to many chins, no hair on his head, and has to trim the inside of his nose, and shave the topside of it. Poor guy.
