Rosguard will receive 3.8 billion for big data processing

2021: Allocating 3.8 billion to big data

The Russian Guard defended its requests for financing the creation of an automated system for controlling the circulation of firearms and managing security services based on big data technologies. 3.8 billion rubles will be allocated for these purposes, four times more than previously planned. This became known on November 26, 2021.

The system should be created on the basis of domestic technologies. With its help, it is planned to create electronic services on the Unified Portal of State and Municipal Services (EPSU).

Thanks to the developed system, the latest generation of electronic permits will receive 4 million gun owners. And digital security solutions will be in demand in 1.3 million places of residence and storage of personal property of citizens and objects of various forms of ownership.

According to the plans, in 2020, the technical design of the information system and the development of a special one were to be carried out. Equipment and software server equipment information security for the pilot area were also to be delivered. In 2021, it was planned to pilot the developed C ON and supply equipment for the deployment of the infrastructure.

In 2022, according to the results of the pilot operation, the ACT will be finalized. It is also planned to carry out certification of the developed software, preliminary departmental tests, delivery of equipment for the deployment of the infrastructure of the second stage system, certification and commissioning of the information system. By 2023, the implementation of solutions tested at the pilot site should take place in all regions. The system shall be fully functional by 2024.

Server capacities sufficient for the full operation of the information system will be deployed in Russia. Information security systems will be deployed in accordance with the requirements of state regulators, and units of licensing and permits and private security of the National Guard Troops will receive the necessary equipment^[1].

2020: Contract with Voskhod Research Institute for 320.2 million rubles

In mid-July 2020, the Russian Guard signed a contract to create an IT system for controlling arms trafficking and managing security services. The contractor will be the Federal State Budgetary Institution Voskhod Research Institute (FSBI Voskhod Research Institute), the transaction cost is 320.2 million rubles. It is necessary to fulfill the terms of the contractor's contract by November 23, 2020.

Rosguard signed a contract for the creation of an IT system for controlling arms trafficking

The system will be a centralized solution for both employees of the Russian Guard and citizens and organizations (manufacturers and sellers of weapons, private security enterprises, etc.). Legal entities and individuals will be able to create personal offices on the platform, where in electronic form they will be able to interact with the regulator in the field of arms trafficking, which can facilitate and accelerate the implementation of the prescribed regulatory procedures, according to the Russian Guard. The implementation of the platform for the Russian Guard is planned to begin in the second half of 2021.

The main objectives of the project are as follows:

• Providing the authorized employees of the Russian Guard with additional opportunities to carry out actions related to the performance of control functions in the field of arms trafficking;

• organization of a single information space for participants in the processes in the field of arms trafficking, providing the possibility of electronic interaction on accounting for arms trafficking, including in terms of monitoring the production, storage, movement, sale and disposal of weapons;

• simplification of procedures for participants in arms trafficking processes, including electronic access of gun factories, rifle clubs, private security organizations and gun stores to a single database of weapons accounting, automated verification of the owner of the weapon and notification of license and permit work (LRR) units when selling weapons;

• provision of new electronic services for citizens, including electronic interaction with LRR units on the accounting of arms trafficking, control and notification of the timing of control shooting of weapons and on inspections of gun owners;

• improving the level of public safety by electronic information to the public, creating a mechanism for analyzing current operations to account for weapons with the aim of preventive detection and prevention of criminal actions and prerequisites for terrorist actions, creating a mechanism for operational control over the circulation of certain types and types of weapons, etc.;

• The use of a new generation of electronic authorization documents based on special electronic cards, which ensure the storage of information about persons authorized to store weapons and the right to provide private security services and their weapons. The introduction of an electronic map and accounting for the life cycle of weapons will allow the Russian Guard to improve the quality and efficiency of its work in this area, which will ultimately lead to increased public safety;

• the use of paperless technologies in the issuance and circulation of permits for the purchase of civilian weapons that exclude the forgery of such permits; the digital transformation of public services^[2].

2019: Nine-fold reduction in IT system funding

On October 31, 2019, it became known that the Government of the Russian Federation reduced the budget of the Rosguard project to create IT systems for managing security services and controlling the circulation of legal weapons by nine times.

As the head of the Russian Guard Viktor Zolotov said, the future IT system will control all participants in arms trafficking: arms factories, legal entities that trade, store and use weapons in the performance of their statutory tasks, as well as gun owners.

In addition, the creation of the system should ensure the transfer of licenses for the purchase of weapons from paper to digital and provide citizens with mobile access to weapons licensing services. The system will be based on a domestic secure platform for processing large amounts of data.

In addition, the Russian Guard intends to create another IT system for managing security services, taking into account modern information security requirements based on domestic software. In addition to it, an information resource should be created that provides individuals and legal entities with remote access to security services.

These measures are included in the federal project "Information Security" of the national program "Digital Economy of Russia." In accordance with the decision of the interdepartmental commission under the Security Council, adopted in October 2018, these projects will require budget financing in 2020-2021. in the amount of 6.41 billion rubles.

In reality, the Government allocated a much smaller amount for these projects - 700 million rubles.

"The amount of 6.41 billion rubles exceeds the entire IT budget of the Russian Guard, which amounted to 2.7 billion rubles in 2018 and will amount to 4.5 billion rubles in 2019," the source said.

At the same time, two CNews sources say that the contractor of the Russian Guard for these projects will be the state-owned enterprise Voskhod Research Institute, which is run by the Ministry of Communications. One of these sources also heard that the AT Conslating system integrator of the IT ^[3] will also participate in the project ^[4].
