Russian military will create their own closed Internet

    Today it became known that the armed forces of the Russian Federation began work on creating a sovereign segment of the network for themselves. This is a closed digital information exchange system, which also has its own name - multiservice transport communications network (MTCC). The first stage of work should be completed by the end of 2019, the stage of final readiness is expected in two years, as reported by Izvestia.

    Moreover, the military will have a search service. In order for everything to work, regardless of external factors, a fiber-optic cable will be laid through the Arctic. Experts argue that the experience of creating MTCC will be useful in the formation of a national network.

    According to the authors of the project, MTCC will ensure the electronic security of the country. At the same time, the network will not have traffic exchange points that connect it to the World Wide Web. All important information will be stored on the servers of the Ministry of Defense. Moreover, the developers hope that MTSS will provide an opportunity to organize high-speed transmission of any amount of information throughout the country using Big Data technology.

    Perhaps the military information exchange network in the future will become a segment of the sovereign Russian Internet. MTSS can be used, for example, for the procurement system and product quality control.

    On the other hand, now in Russia there is already a self-sufficient civilian communications infrastructure, it is possible to close it upon yourself if necessary. It is equally important to provide reliable communication for the whole country. Currently, deputies, along with representatives of the Internet industry, decide how best to organize this. The fact is that the law on the “sovereign Internet” will extend to civilian infrastructure, so that if serious geopolitical problems arise, it will be possible to switch the system to autonomous functioning.

    Currently, the military uses a closed data transmission segment for the exchange of information. Until recently, this segment was associated with certain sections of the network of civilian operators. In the future, it is planned to carry out the full integration of DSPD into MTSS, the latter being developed on the basis of the latest domestic achievements in the field of digital data transmission systems.

    The Network will have its own fiber optic networks, which will be divided into zonal trunk channels. The Ministry of Defense has already begun preparations for laying a transarctic line for the needs of the Navy and coastal forces. Fiber-optic cable will “flash” the Arctic and the Far East from Severomorsk to Vladivostok.

    Well, for a safe and fast data transfer, a unified control system will be created, which will be equipped with modern technology and software. All this will be called the "Single circuit of information security."

    In order to ensure truly safe operation, the MTSS provides an electronic logbook of official actions and user identification. If necessary, it will be possible to trace all the actions of a particular soldier in the network. The officers who service the circuit will monitor the traffic and the operation of the networks in real time, and if necessary, the information flows will be redirected in the event that any of the network segments is overloaded.

    Another module is the alarm logging module. It will be used to distribute communication recovery tasks. Moreover, based on the accumulated data archive, it is planned to develop a contingency forecasting program that ensures the reliability of MTCC.

    As mentioned above, all data will be stored only on the servers of the Ministry of Defense. Information will be duplicated, this will help to preserve it in case of damage to one of the files. Thus, the army will receive a private cloud storage for official and classified information. According to sources, the Ministry of Defense instructed to create geographically distributed data centers.

    As for the search engine, it will be semantic, so that users will be able to request data for keywords and phrases. Information on troops and aircraft will be entered in the MTCC database, an interactive map with the brigades and divisions of the Russian army located on it will be added. The map will allow the command to assess the situation while at the National Defense Management Center.

    In combat conditions, a closed system is also useful. For example, the Russian Sagittarius intelligence, control and communications complex currently allows for displaying on a tablet a map of the proposed combat area. It can be supplemented by scouts who send data over secure channels. In addition, the network allows for secure logistics.
