Both the countries have now decided to take this defence cooperation forward by joining hands to promote an integrated security system. The Russia-based NIKIRET (branch of a production company called Start, a subsidiary of Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation) and the Indian CORE Energy Systems Pvt. Ltd. recently signed a cooperation agreement that will let CORE buy Technical Security Equipment (TSE) from NIKIRET and subsequently promote it in India. The contract was officially signed by Vadim Pervuninskikh, the director of NIKIRET and Nagesh Basarkar, the chairman and managing director of CORE Energy Systems Pvt. Ltd. “Integrated security systems are a group of technical protective means intended for organisation of alarm security subsystems, monitoring of access control subsystems, monitoring of CCTV subsystems, performance of warning function,” Pervuninskikh told <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/india-russia-join-hands-to-promote-integrated-security-system/articleshow/64671087.cms">Economic Times</a>. The two companies are expected to explore the opportunities collectively and figure out a wide range of equipment including access control and security system, data acquisition and processing, mobile security system etc. CORE, after <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/india-russia-join-hands-to-promote-integrated-security-system/articleshow/64671087.cms">appreciating </a>NIKIRET as “one of the world’s most experienced companies in Technical Security Equipment” said that they are excited to use this contract for exploring opportunities to put into effect the Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS) project. CIBMS project requires an alliance of gadgets and technologies to replace manual surveillance with electronic surveillance along the <a href="http://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/chennai/2018/jun/21/russian-firm-offers-smart-tech-to-protect-borders-1831272.html">2,900km</a> India-Pakistan border. It needs a sensor driven technology to detect any form of unsanctioned movement in water, on land and in air across the border. CORE in also striving to buy shares in the CIMBS project, the bid for which will begin in October. The need for this project was felt by the government in 2012. However, the real pressure set in right after the Pathankot terrorist attack in 2016. Later that year, the Indian authorities showed their interest in buying the Russian integrated security system, according to the official website of the<a href="http://rusembindia.com/newsletter/7855-india-interested-in-buying-russian-integrated-security-systems"> Embassy of Russian Federation in the Republic of India</a>. If the Technical Security Equipment (TSE) from NIKIRET proves to be serviceable enough, India will be able to implement the CIBMS project effectively. The deal is all the more important because science and technology is precisely what the Indo-Russian strategic partnership stands on. If the partnership succeeds, it can open new opportunities for both the countries and outsourcing equipments to Russia, not only for defence but also the power sector (nuclear, oil and gas), would become commonplace.

India, Russia to strengthen defence cooperation with an integrated security system

In fact, the same strategy is used along the Israel-Palestine border and the US-Mexico border. 
 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="&quot;This project will help the BSF (Border Security Force) to detect any cross-border crimes and other illegal activities.

 The 61-km stretch of the India-Bangladesh border in the Dhubri, Assam district in eastern India will now be under the watch of India’s Comprehensive Integrated Border Management System (CIBMS) — a project that uses high-tech solutions to guard terrain and riverine borders round the clock. So, it should also be pointed out that CIBMS is more than a ‘smart fence’. A smart fence is essentially a barbed fence with electronic systems to help detect movement. But, the CIBMS isn’t a physical fence at all — it’s only sensors that can detect movement in water, land or air. The issue with Assam’s Dhubri region is that its a riverine — the longest riverine border in the country mostly made up of the Brahmaputra river but also a little bit of the Gadadhar river — so putting up a fence isn’t exactly an option. Currently, they’re only using reconnaissance boats in the area to protect the border. Hence ,the CIBMS solution. Possible speedbumps There are two issues with employing a project like the CIBMS. One, is the <a href="http://tenders.gov.in/viewtenddoc.asp?tid=del816186&amp;wno=1&amp;td=TD">dependency</a> on vendors. Whenever private vendors get involved in a project, transparency is key. But, with the CIBMS project there’s a lack of clarity as to how vendors are supplying the technology. TATA Power SED, on of the vendors, <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/can-cibms-alone-secure-the-indias-borders/articleshow/65722529.cms">states</a> that the technology for the CIBMS falls under the ‘Make in India’ program. And, the second major issue is the <a href="https://www.ciponline.org/images/uploads/1004_TBP.pdf">upskilling</a> of officers to actually run the system efficiently. Border guard forces are only posted to one location temporarily. So even if private firms are coming in to train the personel when the technology is deployed, the training won’t be useful when the existing officers get transferred and new ones come in. There’s also India’s <a href="http://www.indiandefencereview.com/spotlights/challenges-to-securing-indias-borders/">problems</a> with maintaining and operating the existing equipment that’s in place. Their optimum use has been hindered by the lack of infrastructure to support more complicated and energy consuming surveillance systems. There have been questions around the challenges facing power back-up of gensets and three-phase power supply. But, the upside is, the purpose of CIBMS is to eventually replace manual surveillance of international borders by electronic surveillance. This is the third CIBMS project to be inaugurated in India. Two similar projects were launched along the India-Pakistan border. It will take time to seal the entire border, but this project should help the <keyword id="166231" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Border-Security">Border Security</keyword> Force (BSF) deal with cross-border crimes and other illegal activities.
