Electronic passport of a military man. The Russian military will receive personal electronic cards

Go to electronic documents affected the army. Instead of a military ID in some regions of Russia, since 2014, on an experimental basis, they have been issued to conscripts plastic card, which stores all information about the soldier in an encrypted form.

Why is it being implemented and when will it appear

The purpose of introducing an electronic military ID is to make accounting for army personnel easier. Plastic paper has a number of advantages:

  1. It will reduce the costs of office work.
  2. Its introduction will simplify the recruitment by combat arms.
  3. Even if the card is lost, it is easy to restore it, since all data about the owner of the document will be located in the computer database of the military department.
  4. The validity period of a military ID is increased to ten years, regardless of where it is used - in a normal peaceful environment or in a war zone.
  5. It is a pass to enter the military unit, the dining room.
  6. It is easier to make the necessary changes.

We started issuing an electronic military ID to conscripts three years ago. At the same time, it is received by those who study at higher educational institutions in military departments. It will also be available to those who, upon reaching the age of 27, have not served in the army. After each person drafted into the army has a document, they will move on to providing them to officers, old-timers. Hundreds of thousands of electronic identities have already been personalized and tested.

To work with military personnel electronic format work requires installation in military units, at recruiting stations of reading devices.

Over time, all paper documents will be replaced by plastic cards.

What an electronic ticket looks like and its features

The military ticket of the new format is a card made of wear-resistant polycarbonate. It has a 160 kilobyte chip embedded in it to identify the identity of a soldier. Due to the large volume of the device, it stores all the data about the soldier in an encoded form. In addition to biographical data, it contains such biometric data as fingerprints, palms, eye color, medical indications of health status. There is also a photograph of a soldier, which is important for identifying a citizen.

Now the chip stores about 60 parameters, but then their number will increase to three hundred. A serviceman receives a military ID, a medical card, and a personal file in one electronic certificate.

All data encoded in the document is protected by law and protected from hacking.

The material from which the card is made can withstand both abnormally low and high air temperatures.

The value of the document is that it has the status of an identity card, from which you can find out everything about its owner.

How to view data on an electronic military ticket

The card number is the military identification number of a citizen of military age, according to which the soldier will have access to various information systems. According to it, its data is read by a special device. On special websites of military departments, you can view the data on the microchip of an electronic ticket.

Access to encoded information is obtained by the conscript himself. While together with electronic ticket young soldiers receive a bank card, to which they receive monetary allowance. Over time, they plan to combine operations in one document.

An electronic military ID is the closest reality of military service. So far, the document is being tested in some regions of the country, but soon every person liable for military service will carry important data about himself in his pocket.

Spring 2014 conscripts are being prepared for dispatch to military units. This year, for the first time, all recruits will go to serve with personal electronic cards.. They contain biographical data of young people, their medical indications and information about the military professional training of the guys. The Ministry of Defense says that such information base will simplify the appointment of conscripts to army and navy positions, and after the dismissal of soldiers, it will streamline their military registration in military registration and enlistment offices.

« A plastic document with a built-in memory microchip and a maximum degree of protection will be used in various automated military systems, both during military service and when being transferred to the reserve. Social data of a serviceman, as well as information about his military training, provision of military property and state of health will be entered on electronic cards.", - told the correspondent of" RG "in the Russian defense department.

For the registration of electronic cards of recruits, again for the first time, all recruits were obliged to hand over their fingerprints at the commissariat. Previously, only future cadets and contract soldiers, regardless of the desire of a person, underwent such a procedure. That is, people who go to the service seriously and for a long time. For conscripts, unlike, say, a drug test, it was purely voluntary.

In principle, there is nothing shameful in taking fingerprints. It can turn into a nuisance in the future only for young people who have broken the law. But for soldiers who are in trouble in the service, such data will definitely help. For example, doctors will need them to identify unconscious military personnel. If something happens, the soldier’s electronic card will tell the doctor not only his last name, first name, patronymic, but also the blood type, as well as the intolerance of the soldier’s body to some medicines.

A few years ago, conscripts were allowed to use in military units mobile phones. Nobody deprives young soldiers of this right. Moreover, in many regions of Russia, recruits at recruiting stations began to issue SIM cards with a specially designed "for the army" tariff plan"Call Mom." It allows the recruit to contact relatives by mobile phone, paying for the conversation at a reduced price. The Ministry of Defense told the RG correspondent that this practice will continue this spring and summer.

In addition, the parents of conscripts will still be able to accompany their sons to their places of service. And before leaving there, recruits in the military registration and enlistment office will also be given personalized bank cards. On these credit cards, the soldiers will be transferred every month their monetary allowance - 2 thousand rubles.

Recall that by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, by mid-July, a total of 154,000 young people aged 18 to 27 should be put into operation. The draft tasks of the General Staff will affect all regions of Russia with the exception of Crimea and Sevastopol. The generals decided not to take the guys living on the peninsula into soldiers until next spring. But even then, the conscription of Crimeans will be temporarily limited to local garrisons.

« It is assumed that they will serve on the Crimean peninsula until the end of 2016, and in the future - throughout Russian Federation ”, - said Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on this occasion.

The Ministry of Defense is moving to work with military personnel through personal electronic cards (PEC). As Alexei Bocharov, general director of the NPO Angstrem joint-stock company, told Izvestiya, the company has already manufactured 651,000 such devices, 89,000 of which have been personalized and are being tested by the troops. With the advent of electronic maps in the military department, they are counting on improving personnel and financial work, as well as to strengthen security measures in the handling of documents, weapons and permits to secret objects. In fact, as noted in Angstrem, this is the beginning of testing " electronic passports”, in the future suitable for all citizens of Russia.

Experimental design work "Passport" is completed, - Alexei Bocharov told Izvestia. “Now the system is being tested, and in September we will be ready to launch it in full. The transition to electronic cards will allow the military to take full control of access to protected objects and information resources, record and confirm the rights to receive social, financial and other services, as well as control their actual provision to military personnel.

As Aleksey Bocharov noted, PEC makes it possible to store personal data of a person, electronic access keys, electronic signature and biometric data. The card will be issued in military commissariats, and will be used already in military units, in departmental medical and educational institutions. Among the main useful functions are a system for controlling access to facilities, accounting for food, accounting for academic performance and access to a single information environment.

The infrastructure of the project covers the entire country. At the first stage, in 2016, almost 500 objects will be included in it. During 2017–2019, several thousand more objects will enter the system.

The editor of the Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine, Viktor Murakhovsky, told Izvestia that the appearance of personal electronic cards of a serviceman marks a transition to a new technological level in working with personal information.

The current paper identity card or a metal token worn around the neck has the sole purpose of identifying the identity of a serviceman, Murakhovsky told Izvestia. - At the same time, the introduction of an automated command and control system, from the level of the Defense Control Center to the tactical level, raises a number of complex tasks of access authorization and, in general, the rights of a serviceman to make decisions and give orders when conducting combat operations in a site-centric war, when the entire command and control of the army is tied to digital signal transmission systems.

The description of the electronic personal badge of a serviceman was registered in the patent bank under No. 133630 " Automated system control of the identification of military personnel using a personal electronic token ”back in 2013. The patent owner is the Federal State Treasury Institution "27th Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense". The description says it's personal. electronic device, which has a module for receiving, synchronizing and transmitting information by scanning. According to Izvestia, the introduction of electronic tokens was planned to begin in the spring call of 2014. However, this did not happen due to the unavailability of domestic microchips. The prototype used a French chip.

Replacing a personal metal token with a smart card will allow you to combine a number of documents required by a soldier in one chip, - explained Ilya Korobov, CEO of INPAS, a Russian supplier of equipment for banks and retail. - For example, an identity card, a pass to an object, an appropriate access to classified information, work with the relevant equipment. This will become his automatic classification when you need to confirm or be sure that a given soldier has undergone some training with this or that equipment, has a permit to work with some kind of equipment. Modern technologies allow you to make this card a multifunctional tool: an identity identifier, a repository of certificates, permissions and other service information.

According to Ilya Korobov, almost any amount of information can be recorded on a token card. Modern smart cards are 64-kilobyte.

In fact, more is not needed, - the expert noted. - Even from the point of view of providing protection against hacking, creating crypto-protection algorithms, including information protection at the request of GOST for law enforcement agencies, this amount of memory is redundant.

In the case of the introduction of the PEK, the Russian defense department keeps pace with the most technologically advanced armies in the world. Not so long ago, information on the development of electronic tokens was made public by the command of the Israeli army. The US Army has already implemented a system similar to PEC, it is called RAPIDS. The system maintains an extensive database with information about military personnel.

Now there are at least two Russian companies declare that they are completely ready for the production of domestic microchips, - said Ilya Korobov. - These are Angstrem and Mikron - absolutely Russian companies, which, in addition, prepare chips for the Mir national payment system. I am sure that in the case of individual token cards of military personnel, there should be no problems. They will be fully based on domestic technologies, microprocesses and software, which guarantees the necessary level of security for the information stored on them. Judging by the fact that the Ministry of Defense placed an order for the manufacture of a large batch, which covers almost the entire personnel of combat units, the problem with the chips has been resolved.

After passing the commission, recruits receive a personal electronic card (PEC). This document can be issued only if citizens agree to its execution. The order of the Ministry of Defense has already entered into force. The registration number is issued to military personnel, soldiers, officers.

What is a personal electronic card of a serviceman (PEC)?

Personal cards began to be issued after the introduction of the military reform in 2015.It can be used as a military registration document.

The card contains information about the conscript: Last name, First name, Patronymic, education, military specialty, results medical examination military commission.

As the service progresses, information about the military rank, appointment to a military position, and so on, is entered into the certificate. PEC - analogue of a military ID, but contains large quantity information.

The certificate is under reliable protection. It cannot be faked. The card can also be used when providing medical services people of retirement age.

Why do I need a personal electronic recruiter card?

The card is retained by the demobilized from service and upon dismissal. Paper may be needed for employment.

The card looks like driver's license, there is a photo of the owner. It contains a chip that contains all the necessary information about a citizen.

In order to register, it will take a few seconds, the military registration and enlistment office will immediately receive all the information about the person. All work with conscripts will noticeably accelerate.

What does an account number contain?

  • Year of birth.
  • Extract from a personal file.
  • The results of combat readiness.
  • Military specialty.
  • The results of physical training.
  • Family status.
  • Education.

The back contains information about the military registration and enlistment office that issued the document. In total, the chip can hold up to 64 kilobytes. This volume is to protect the chip from hacking.
An electronic chip with information is embedded in the card. The registration number will simplify the work of registering the military and speed up the recruitment process.

Why was this form introduced?

  1. To simplify the system of military service.
  2. The certificate is a pass to the unit and to the dining room.
  3. If you lose your account, the information is easy to recover. The information is stored in a common database.
  4. The document is valid for ten years.

PEK is received not only by military personnel, but also by students at military departments. If a citizen is 27 years old, and he did not serve, then the document is still issued to him. All parts are equipped with reading devices. Planned to replace all paper media electronic.

How to get PEK?

The issuance of personal documents is established by the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.

You need to use the card in military units, departmental, educational organizations.

All data is encrypted and protected by applicable law. The electronic card can withstand any temperature.

All young men of draft and pre-conscription age, soldiers, officers, sergeants are liable for military service. The document can only be obtained at the military commissariats. After the conscript arrives at the unit, he is given a document.

The conscript has access to information, in addition, with an electronic card, soldiers receive a bank card to which they transfer cash. The authorities plan to combine all transactions into a common document.

Required documents

The card stores all the necessary data about a person, an electronic signature, information about weight and height. In addition to the declared functions, in addition to the combination of combining all documents, there is also an access control system and power accounting.

  • The passport.
  • Military ID.
  • SNILS, TIN.
  • Medical card.
  • Military ID.

Employees will be registered with electronic system"The passport". All information about the citizen will be recorded on electronic media. There are 60 parameters in total.
The system is automated and functions autonomously.

It is possible to transfer data about a soldier to other programs. In the process of passing the service, the parameters can be increased up to 200 indicators.

Will an electronic military card replace a military ID?

The PEK replaces the military ID and the identity card of conscripts. The chip can be sewn into any part of the human body. A personal card is issued only with consent to data processing. If the citizen refuses, then the production of the card is impossible.

The PEC contains the same information as in the military ticket. The document contains information about appointment to a position, awarding titles, obtaining a specialty.

After that dismissal, the card remains with the citizen, it must also be submitted to the military unit for registration.

In the units there is special equipment with which you can find out personal data about the military.

The electronic certificate is strictly protected from forgery and cannot be used by third parties. If the thing is lost, then it can be restored, since the information is contained on the service of the Ministry of Defense. In the military registration and enlistment office, you can also find out information about the employee.

Should I return a personal card after the expiration date?

You don't need to submit a card. The document must be kept by the citizen.

Sometimes a PEK can come in handy when applying for a job. For damage to documents, a fine of one hundred to five hundred rubles is charged.

The document was developed at the initiative of the State Duma. The project was created to simplify and improve the military accounting system.

Some citizens are concerned about the safety of data, but the connection is strictly protected from hacking.

It is worth remembering that the PEC is a replacement for a military ID, but its presence does not cancel. The soldier has the right to independently choose which document he wants to receive. There are already advantages from the program, firstly, the card is easy to restore, since all the information is in the database, and secondly, the process of recruiting by combat arms has become faster and easier.

If a conscript moves to another part or region, then it will take a couple of minutes to register him. The legislation established that one of the documents can be issued to a conscript: a military ID, a certificate, a certificate of a citizen subject to conscription.

In addition to these documents, an electronic card is issued, but only with the consent of the serviceman.

Russians liable for military service during the registration commission will receive a personal electronic card (PEK). True, it will be issued only with the consent of the citizen himself. The corresponding order has been prepared by the Ministry of Defense. Now PEK is issued only to military personnel. Outwardly, it resembles a driver's license with a photo of the owner. The chip, sewn into plastic, contains all the necessary information about the soldier. For example, year of birth, extracts from a personal file, military specialty, results of combat and physical training. A chip with similar information will also be sewn into the military service card. Experts believe that the PEC will greatly simplify the work of registering soldiers and reserve officers and speed up the process of conscription for military service.

The Ministry of Defense told Izvestia that the department had prepared amendments to the order “On approval of the Instructions for ensuring the functioning of the military registration system for citizens of the Russian Federation and the procedure for holding competitions for the best organization implementation of military registration. The new document provides for the introduction of the PEK for military service citizens. An electronic card will be issued and issued only after the citizen's written consent to the processing of his personal and biometric data.

The procedure for issuing the PEK will be established by the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces. The category of persons liable for military service includes young men and women of draft or pre-conscription age who are registered with the military, as well as soldiers, sergeants and officers who are in reserve.

Currently, amendments to the order are at the stage of intradepartmental approvals. It is expected that PECs will replace military ID cards and draftee IDs.

Externally, the card looks like a driver's license. A photo of the owner is applied to its front side. Next to it are a QR code, last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth and personal number (if any). On the reverse side the card indicates the full name of the military registration and enlistment office where the electronic document was issued.

Smart card chips will be "sewn" with data on marital status, education, sports ranks, reserve category, military specialty number, date of military registration and other personal or biometric information.

Smart card chips can hold up to 64 kilobytes of information. This volume is enough to “sew” cryptographic protection algorithms against hacks into the PEC.

The Russian army began purchasing personal electronic cards for military personnel back in 2016. PEC manufactures Joint-Stock Company NPO Angstrem. Smart cards are fully based on domestic technologies, microprocesses and software, which guarantees the necessary level of information security.

The information entered on the card of those liable for military service will be duplicated on a special server of the Ministry of Defense. In addition, paper forms with information will be placed in special storage facilities. In the military registration and enlistment offices, the heads of the training and conscription departments will be responsible for the safety of the forms. They will check the availability of forms and their safety at least once a quarter.

The electronic card will greatly simplify the work with conscripts, soldiers and reserve officers, military expert Vladislav Shurygin believes.

Now, when a reservist or conscript moves to another region, it takes a lot of time to register with the military registration and enlistment office, the expert told Izvestia. - Such, unfortunately, is the specificity of paperwork. Now those liable for military service will be able to register in just a few seconds. Moreover, from the PEC card, the military registration and enlistment office will immediately receive all the necessary information about a person - from height and weight to military registration specialty. For the same reason, work with conscripts going to serve will be accelerated.

The Russian Armed Forces keep pace with the most technologically advanced armies in the world. In the US Army, a system similar to the PEC is already in place. It's called RAPIDS. This system maintains an extensive database of information about military personnel. Information on the development of electronic tokens has recently been made public by the command of the Israeli army.
