2022: System Announcement
As it became known at the end of May 2022, Russia created an inspection system in public places with an assessment of the danger of people based on data from social networks. This is the development (it is called "Inspection") of the Radio Engineering Institute named after Academician Mints and the Research Institute for Long-Range Radio Communications (NPK NIIDAR).
According to TASS, the equipment works on the principle of identifying a person's identity, including on activity in TikTok, YouTube, VKontakte, Facebook (banned in the Russian Federation and recognized as extremist) and other services, and then "drives" the obtained data using a special methodology to assess the degree of threat to people.
The Inspection complex is designed to inspect people without stopping, identify dangerous objects and prohibited substances. The principle of its operation is based on safe electromagnetic waves of millimeter and terahertz ranges.
It is noted that innovative development makes the inspection process quick and comfortable. This will be especially relevant at airports, train stations, stadiums and other places of mass crowding, where ordinary frames slow down the flow of people and lead to queues.
In addition to the profiling system, a system for recognizing facial and gait micro-expressions will be introduced into the non-stop hidden inspection complex. It will enable reliable and early identification of potential threats to society.
For example, an extremist about to stage a terrorist attack hid weapons or explosives under his clothes, but artificial intelligence will instantly give a signal about the danger and inform the special services.
As the general director of NPK NIIDAR JSC Yuri Anoshko told TASS, by the end of May 2022 a certain number of complexes had already been ordered by Russian security agencies.[1]
