History of Radar mms
17th January 1950 - is the Establishment day of the Company. 275 Experimental Design Bureau. Aircraft instrument landing system.
The commencement of the enterprise activities is considered to be on January 17, 1950 when 275 Experimental Design Bureau (275 EDB) was organized as a part of plant manufacturing plant No 275. The main task was to bring the systems of short-range navigation and aircraft instrument landing systems to serial production as well as to provide installation and adjustment of the specified radio systems (SP-50, Kurs-MP) to civil and military airports of the USSR and foreign countries where domestic planes were delivered. During the period from 1950 to 1970, the EDB team installed, built and commissioned over than 155 blind landing systems at the airports of the USSR and foreign countries.
The experience of mass operation of aircraft instrument landing systems allowed to develop a new accumulation of such systems: Korrector, Kross, Nefrit, Nefrit-M. Monitoring and measurement equipment system Nefrit (KIP-ZG-4, KPK-5, Rubin-S) in terms of its tactical and technical characteristics, it was possible to ensure landing according to the II standards of ICAO category. In total, 17 multipurpose devices (Azimut-P, KIP-ZG-4, KPK-3, Rubin-S, IILS, APN, Cross, IRM-P) were developed and put into serial production and introduced into operation.
1953-1965 - VHF direction finders
During the period of 1953-1965 the multipurpose automated VHF direction finders was under development including direction finder of special purpose Boussol which were allocated at all the civil and military airports of USSR, and including VHF direction finder ARP-6 developed in 1955.
1958-1965 – Radars
In experimental design bureau was developed radar Raskat with high resolution for vessels control in the ports of adverse water areas and with dense traffic. Those radars were allocated and put into operation in the ports of Leningrad, Mariupol, Odessa. During that period hardware documentation was developed in EDB as well as monitoring and training documentation for automated command post control systems (DKT Proton, Faza-13) and a range of automated monitoring systems for avionics and aerial vehicles of different types.
1963 – 1988 - Leningrad Design Bureau Zarnitsa. Automated monitoring systems.
In 1964 the Experimental Design Bureau was assigned as the head company of Radar Manufacturing Ministry of the USSR in the field of automated avionics monitoring. In 1966 the bureau received a status of an independent organization getting a name of Leningrad Design Bureau Zarnitsa (LDB Zarnitsa).
1974 г. — Central Scientific Production Association Leninetz
Within a period from 1963 to 1988 the priority activity area of LDB Zarnitsa (in 1972 was included into Scientific Production Association Mars and further in 1974 after its reorganization – became a part of Central Scientific Production Association Leninetz) became development of automated monitoring systems for 80 airplanes of various type. Automated ground monitoring system Gotovnost was under development since 1964, served as a unified avionics monitoring system for Su-15 and MIG-25 aircrafts. Automated monitoring system Pluton, which was under construction since 1967, was used for avionics monitoring of SU-24 aircraft. Automated monitoring system “Don” – for a missile KRP-120.
The subsequent automated monitoring system Uran-T provided verification of avionics of the MIG-25MP aircraft using advanced element base and unified designs. The enterprise launched works on the creating of microelectronic functional devices and carried out sectoral coordination of work in the field of integrated miniaturization of radio electronic equipment.
1985 – Active radar seekers.
In 1985 the Company started development of product range of active radar seekers (ARGS) Subsequently the production of this system was launched and scientific research group as well as intelligent capacity focused on development of cruise missile guidance system were formed.
1988 – Scientific technical center Luch.
On 14th July 1988 the Sectoral Scientific Technical Center Luch (SSTC Luch) was established by the order of the Minister of Radio Industry of the USSR, the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR to fulfil a wide range of tasks including creating of new radars for civil aircrafts (Tu-204, Tu-334, Il-96-300, Il-114 airplanes, MI-8 MT, Mi-17, Mi-34, Mi-38 helicopters):
- airborne weather and navigation radars;
- radio-electronic systems for piloting vessels in adverse conditions of the Arctic and Antarctic;
- aircraft autonomous landing systems.
One of the activity branches of the SSTC Luch was producing of rescue-emergency medical equipment for emergency medical services and structures of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation.
1990 – Radar mms.
In 1990 by the order of the Minister of Radio Industry of the USSR, SSTC Luch merged with All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Radio-electronic Systems Sector into State Scientific Industrial Enterprise Radar mms joint venture.
1993 – PJSC Radar mms
In 1993 the State Scientific Industrial Enterprise Radar mms became a Public Joint Stock Company Radar mms.
2015 – JSC Radar mms
In 2015 PJSC Radar mms was reorganized into Joint Stock Company Radar mms.
In 2010 and in 2015 JSC Radar mms was awarded the commendation by the President of the Russian Federation “For considerable contribution in radio-electronic industry development, strengthening the defense capability of the country and achieved work progress”.
JSC Radar Mms today
Today JSC Radar Mms is one of the world leaders in the field of creating radio-electronic systems and suites for military and civil purposes, precision instrumentation, special software.
