Russians liable for military service will receive a personal electronic card (PEC) when passing the registration commission. True, it will be issued only with the consent of the citizen himself. The corresponding order has been prepared by the Ministry of Defense. Currently, PEC is issued only to military personnel. Outwardly, it resembles a driver's license with a photograph of the owner. The chip, sewn into plastic, contains all necessary information about a soldier. For example, year of birth, extracts from your personal file, military specialty, results of combat and physical training. A chip with similar information will be embedded in the military service card. Experts believe that the PEC will seriously simplify the work of registering reserve soldiers and officers and speed up the process of conscription into 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 system military registration 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 PEC for citizens liable for military service. 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 PEC will be established by the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces. The category of those liable for military service includes boys and girls of conscription or pre-conscription age who are registered with the military, as well as soldiers, sergeants and officers in the reserve.
Currently, amendments to the order are at the stage of internal approval. It is expected that PEC will replace military ID cards and conscript certificates.
Externally, the card is similar to a driver's license. A photograph of the owner is applied to its front side. Next to it is a QR code, last name, first name, patronymic, date of birth and personal number (if any). On the reverse side of the card the full name of the military registration and enlistment office where the electronic document was issued is indicated.
Smart card chips will be embedded with data on marital status, education, sports categories, 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 “hardwire” cryptographic protection algorithms against hacking into the PEC.
The Russian army began purchasing personal electronic cards for military personnel back in 2016. PEC is manufactured by the joint stock company NPO Angstrem. Smart cards are entirely based on domestic technologies, microprocesses and software, which guarantees the required 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. At military registration and enlistment offices, the heads of the training and conscription departments will be responsible for the safety of forms. They will check the availability of forms and their safety at least once a quarter.
An electronic card will greatly simplify work with conscripts, soldiers and reserve officers, says military expert Vladislav Shurygin.
Nowadays, 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. - This is, unfortunately, the specificity 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 the person - from height and weight to military specialty. For the same reason, work with conscripts leaving for service will be accelerated.
The Russian armed forces are keeping pace with the most technologically advanced armies in the world. In the US Army, a system similar to 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 tags was recently released by the Israeli army command.
Spring 2014 conscripts are preparing to be sent to military units. This year, for the first time, all recruits will go to serve with personal electronic cards in their hands.. They contain biographical data of young people, their medical indications and information about the guys’ military training. The Ministry of Defense says that such information base will simplify the appointment of conscripts to army and navy positions, and after the discharge of soldiers, 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 systems for military purposes, such as when passing military service, and upon transfer to the reserve. Electronic cards will contain the social data of the serviceman, as well as information about his military training, provision of military equipment and health status“, the Russian defense department told the RG correspondent.
To obtain electronic conscription cards, again for the first time, all recruits were required to submit fingerprints at the commissariat. Previously, only future cadets and contract soldiers underwent such a procedure, regardless of a person’s wishes. That is, people who go to serve seriously and for a long time. For conscripts, unlike, say, a drug test, it was purely voluntary.
In principle, there is nothing wrong with taking fingerprints. This can only turn into trouble in the future for young people who have broken the law. But for soldiers who find themselves in trouble while serving, 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 his blood type, as well as the intolerance of the soldier’s body to some medications.
Several years ago, conscripts were allowed to use mobile phones. No one deprives young soldiers of this right. Moreover, in many regions of Russia, recruits at recruiting stations began to be issued SIM cards with a specially designed “for the army” tariff plan"Call your mom." It allows the recruit to contact his family via mobile phone, paying for the call at a reduced price. The Ministry of Defense told the RG correspondent that this practice will continue this spring and summer.
In addition, parents of conscripts will still be able to accompany their sons to their places of service. And before leaving there, recruits at the military registration and enlistment office will also be given personalized bank cards. Soldiers will receive their allowance of 2 thousand rubles every month on these credit cards.
Let us remind you that, according to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation, a total of 154 thousand young people aged 18 to 27 years must be put into service by mid-July. Conscription tasks of the General Staff will affect all regions of Russia with the exception of Crimea and Sevastopol. The generals decided not to accept the guys living on the peninsula as soldiers until the spring of next year. 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 the entire territory Russian Federation “, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said about this.
The Ministry of Defense is moving to working with military personnel through personal electronic cards (PEC). As the general director told Izvestia joint stock company NPO Angstrem Alexey Bocharov, the company has already manufactured 651 thousand of such devices, 89 thousand of them are personalized and are being tested by the troops. With the advent of electronic cards, the military department is counting on improving personnel and financial work, as well as strengthening security measures in the handling of documents, weapons and access to secret facilities. In fact, as Angstrem notes, this is the beginning of testing “electronic passports”, which in the future will be suitable for all Russian citizens.
The development work of “Passport” has been completed, Alexey Bocharov told Izvestia. - The system is currently undergoing trial operation, and in September we will be ready to launch it in full. The transition to electronic cards will allow the military to completely take control of access to protected objects and information resources, record and confirm rights to receive social, financial and other services, as well as monitor their actual provision to military personnel.
As Alexey Bocharov noted, PEC makes it possible to store personal data of a person, electronic keys access, electronic signature, and biometric data. The card will be issued at military commissariats, and will be used in military units, departmental medical and educational institutions. Among the main useful functions are a system for controlling access to facilities, food accounting, progress recording and access to a unified information environment.
The project infrastructure 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 be included in the system.
The editor of the Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine, Viktor Murakhovsky, told Izvestia that the appearance of personal electronic cards for servicemen marks a transition to a new technological level working with personal information.
The paper ID card or metal tag worn around the neck that exists today has the sole purpose of identifying a serviceman, Murakhovsky told Izvestia. - At the same time, when implementing an automated troop control system, starting from the level of the Defense Control Center and up to the tactical level, a number of complex tasks arise in authorizing access and, in general, the rights of a serviceman to make decisions and give orders when conducting combat operations in a site-centric war, when All army control is tied to digital signal transmission systems.
The description of the military personnel's electronic personal badge was registered in the patent bank under No. 133630 " Automated system control over the identification of military personnel using a personal electronic badge" back in 2013. The patent holder is the Federal State Institution “27th Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense”. The description says that this is a personal electronic device that 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 draft 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 whole range of documents needed by a serviceman 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 a facility, appropriate access to classified information, to work with relevant equipment. This will become his automatic classification when it is necessary to confirm or be sure that a given serviceman has undergone any training with this or that equipment or has permission to work with some equipment. Modern technologies allow you to make this card a multifunctional tool: a personal identifier, a repository of certificates, permits 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 KB.
In fact, more is not needed,” the expert noted. - Even from the point of view of providing protection against hacking, creating cryptographic protection algorithms that include information protection as required by GOST for law enforcement agencies, this amount of memory is excessive.
In the case of the introduction of PEC, the Russian defense department keeps pace with the most technologically advanced armies in the world. Not long ago, information on the development of electronic tokens was published by the command of the Israeli army. In the US Army, a system similar to PEC has already been implemented, it is called RAPIDS. The system maintains an extensive database of information about military personnel.
Now there are at least two Russian companies declare that they are completely ready to produce domestic microchips,” said Ilya Korobov. - These are Angstrem and Mikron - absolutely Russian companies, which, in addition, prepare chips for the national payment system"World". I am sure that in the case of individual military service token cards there should be no problems. They will be entirely based on domestic technologies, microprocesses and software, which guarantees the required level of security for the information stored on them. Judging by the fact that the Ministry of Defense placed an order for the production of a large batch, which covers almost the entire personnel of combat units, the problem with chips has been solved.
After passing the commission, conscripts 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, and officers.
What is a military personnel personal electronic card (PEC)?
Personal cards began to be issued after the introduction of 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 military rank, appointment to a military position, etc. is entered into the certificate. PEC – similar to a military ID, but contains more 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 you need a personal electronic conscript card?
The card is retained by the person demobilized from service and upon dismissal. Paper may be needed when applying for a job.
The card is similar to a driver's license and has a photo of the owner. It contains a chip that contains all the necessary information about the 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 speed up.
What does the account number contain?
- Year of birth.
- Extract from personal file.
- Results of combat readiness.
- Military specialty.
- Physical training results.
- Marital status.
- Education.
The reverse contains information about the military registration and enlistment office that issued the document. In total, the chip holds 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 it introduced? this form accounting?
- To simplify the military service system.
- The certificate is a pass to the unit and to the canteen.
- If you lose your account, the information can be easily restored. Information is stored in a common database.
- The document is valid for ten years.
PEC is received not only by military personnel, but also by students at military departments. If a citizen is 27 years old and has not served, the document will still be issued to him. All parts are equipped with reading devices. It is planned to replace all paper media with electronic ones.
How to get PEC?
The issuance of personal documents is established by the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.
The card must be used in military units, departmental and educational organizations.
All data is encrypted and protected by current legislation. The electronic card can withstand any temperature.
All young men of conscription and pre-conscription age, soldiers, officers, and sergeants are liable for military service. The document can only be obtained at 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 bank card to which they are transferred 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 stated functions, in addition to the combination of combining all documents, there is also an access control system and power accounting.
- Passport.
- Military ID.
- SNILS, INN.
- Medical card.
- Military ID.
Employees will be registered in electronic system"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 serviceman to other programs. During service, the parameters can be increased to 200 indicators.
Will an electronic military card replace a military ID?
PEC replaces military ID and conscript ID. 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 production of the card is impossible.
The PEC contains the same information as on the military ID. The document contains information about appointment to a position, assignment of titles, and obtaining a specialty.
After that dismissal, the card remains with the citizen, and it must also be presented to the military unit for registration.
In units there is special equipment with which you can find out personal information about a military man.
The electronic certificate is strictly protected from forgery and cannot be used by third parties. If an item is lost, it can be restored, since the information is contained in the service of the Ministry of Defense. You can also find out information about the employee at the military registration and enlistment office.
Should I return my personal card after the end of its service life?
There is no need to hand over the card. The document must be kept by the citizen.
Sometimes PEC can be useful when applying for a job. For damage to documents, a fine of one hundred to five hundred rubles will be 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 data 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 it. 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, secondly, the process of recruiting by branch of the military has become faster and easier.
If a conscript moves to another unit or region, it will take a couple of minutes to register him. The legislation established that a conscript can be issued one of the following documents: a military ID, a certificate, or a citizen’s certificate subject to conscription.
In addition to these documents, an electronic card is issued, but only with the consent of the serviceman.
This year, the General Staff began introducing personal electronic cards among military personnel. Encrypted on the chip card detailed information about a soldier or officer - biometric data, health status, length of service. During this spring conscription, all conscripts received such cards. In the future, the Ministry of Defense plans to replace the military ID cards of all military personnel with similar electronic storage media.
The spring conscription that ended on July 15, according to the Deputy Chief of the General Staff - Head of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Vasily Tonkoshurov, was generally successful. 154 thousand young men were sent to the troops. The conscription was not carried out in the Komi Republic and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, where young people are called up only once a year - in the fall, as well as in Crimea, where there is transition period and the conscription will begin only in 2015.
General Tonkoshkurov emphasized that during the conscription, everyone praised the innovation of the Ministry of Defense - parents and relatives were given the opportunity to accompany their son to the place of service, where they met his commanders and inspect the living conditions. Parents could also attend meetings of conscription commissions, where the issue of troops, position and place of service of the conscript was decided.
The main innovation of the spring conscription 2014 was the issuance of electronic cards to all conscripts, similar to the passes that are issued office employees in business centers.
“We divided the provision of such cards into 2 stages. At the first, all conscripts and graduates of military universities received them. At the second stage, all other military personnel and civilian personnel will receive them,” explained the Deputy Chief of the General Staff.
The new document is a plastic card made of wear-resistant polycarbonate with a built-in microcontroller with a capacity of 160 kb. Cards are produced at Goznak. At the collection point, the conscript’s full name is laser-applied onto the surface of the card; all other personal data is entered electronically. At the moment, about 60 parameters are entered on the card - the social-democratic and biometric data of the conscript, information about his health. During service, their number can be reached up to 280.
In the future, according to the generals, all military personnel, including reserve officers, will receive such cards. Gradually, the electronic document will completely replace the military ID.
The main problem of the past conscription was recognized as the insufficiently qualified work of civilian doctors. Many conscripts had to be re-examined.
“In a number of cases, young people learned about their illnesses for the first time only during the conscription campaign,” said Alexander Chaplyuk, chief military medical expert of the Ministry of Defense.
From the Ryazan region, for example, local doctors sent a whole group of guys recommended for service in the Airborne Forces. At the collection point they were rechecked - the guys turned out to be healthy, but medically unfit for serious stress, namely parachute jumping. As a result, they were sent to ground units.
The military noted similar shortcomings in the treatment and preventive work of doctors in the Kursk and Pskov regions, as well as in the Stavropol Territory.
To a clarifying question about where the conscription went “without a hitch,” General Tonkoshkurov replied that, if we take the Western Military District, then in Bryansk, Belgorod and Voronezh regions. Note that all three of these regions border Ukraine, and the call came at a time of maximum instability in the neighboring state.
This year the number of draft dodgers has decreased significantly. If last spring conscription 5,228 people did not arrive at assembly points, then this year only 4,334 did. Deputy Chief of the General Staff Tonkoshkurov linked this trend with the growing prestige of military service among young people.
But only 325 people asked for alternative service and were sent.
