Yesterday there was information in the media, that the Russian Ministry of Defense has tested the work of the "military Internet".
And what is it?
Technically, the network of the Ministry of Defense is implemented similarly to the so-called intranet., an internal network of an enterprise. This network can connect divisions and branches of a large corporation, located throughout the country, and even in several countries. Enterprise intranet closed to external users, there is no access to it from the global Internet. It has a differentiation of access rights depending on the position of the person and on the functional duties., which he performs.
Unlike the civilian corporate network, the military internet is better protected, it has stricter safety requirements. Including technical means of ensuring security. for example, to traffic encryption, the possibility of using external data carriers.
From the point of view of users in a closed military network, an even greater hierarchy of delimitation of use rights is organized. Army commander and company commander, who work on this network, have access to completely different arrays of information and data levels.
Working in a private data segment does not differ significantly from working in a global network. There is a browser here, which allows you to get unhindered access to shared resources, which are not secret. The network also has an internal e-mail service..
It should be noted, that never before have military databases been connected to the global internet. Before the creation of the military Internet, there were internal networks of individual military units., eg, federal headquarters or missile forces. The Ministry of Defense has created a common network, which operates across the armed forces on the basis of shared resources.
Such a global military network exists not only in the Russian army. Our innovation is comparable in scale to a closed network, operating in the US Armed Forces. The military Internet was also created in Israel, China is working on such a network.
so, what did you experience the other day in Russia.
Exchange of information at speed 300 megabits per second was carried out between field control posts at a distance of more than 2 thousand. km, reported in the department. To create ultra-long-distance data transmission lines, the Ministry of Defense used special equipment and more than one and a half thousand mobile communication and encryption complexes. The new system allows information exchange over a distance of several thousand kilometers. At the same time, all communication channels are reliably protected from hacking., approved by the military. It is impossible to access such networks from the outside..
Unique exercises were held in the Central Military District, told the Ministry of Defense. During them, special radio communication channels were created., through which digital information was transmitted. The exchange was provided by a highly secure local wireless network, which allowed transferring large files, including audio- and video information. Data was transmitted over a distance of more than 2 thousand. km. More than 4,5 thousand. military, and to create a wireless network used more 1,5 thousand. modern means of communication.
During the exercise, digital and mobile video conferencing systems MKS-P and MK ZVKS were used, as well as space communication station R-438-N "Belozer". All transmitted data were completely classified by Nickel mobile systems. This high-speed crypto router allows you to create secure networks for transmitting information and encrypt any streaming information.. The military managed to deploy all the equipment within an hour..
The created network is completely autonomous and does not have traffic exchange points, connecting it to the "external" Internet. All important information was transmitted through the hardware of the Ministry of Defense using encryption. This avoided possible leaks.. In the future, such communication lines will make it possible to organize high-speed transmission of almost any amount of information throughout the country., clarified in the military department.
