The Integrated Ballistic Identification System or IBIS is an Automated firearms identification system manufactured by Forensic Technology WAI, Incorporated of Montreal, Canada.

IBIS automates the tedious process of cross-matching bullets and/or cartridge cases recovered from crime scenes against those already on file with the investigating agency.

Prior to IBIS, the only way to compare ballistic evidence was through the use of a Comparison Microscope.
