Leading software major Tech Mahindra on Tuesday said it bagged a Rs 300-crore defence contract to supply RFID (radio frequency identification) based on access control systems to the Indian Navy bases and ships.
“As part of the armed forces secure access card’ (AFSAC) project, we will implement RFID-based access control system across all naval bases and ships,” said the Hyderabad-based firm in a statement.
The new digital card will replace the paper-based identity card for all Navy personnel, including dependents and ex-servicemen.
“Using the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) level 5 processes, we will develop a secure application to manage the access control devices, network devices and the card through a data centre,” said the company on the occasion.
To be implemented over the next two years, the project will ensure smooth issuance, handling, administration, management and life cycle support of the cards on turnkey basis.
