History

The company was established on January 17, 1950. Design Bureau No. 275 (OKB-275). Instrument Landing Systems (ILS).

The company starts its activity on January 17, 1950, when Design Bureau OKB-275 was organized as part of Plant No. 275. Its task was to bring near-range navigation and blind landing aircraft systems to mass production, as well as installation and commissioning of these radio systems (SP-50, Kurs-MP) at civil and military airfields of the USSR and foreign countries where domestic aircraft were supplied. In the period from 1950 to 1970, the Design Bureau's team installed, built and commissioned more than 155 instrument landing systems at airfields of the USSR and foreign countries.

The experience of ILS mass operation made it possible to develop a new generation of such systems: Korrektor, Kross, Nefrit, and Nefrit-M systems. Control and measurement systems Nefrit (KIP-ZG-4, KPK-5, Rubin-S), according to its performance, made it possible to ensure landing according to the standards of the ICAO Category II. In total, 17 types of devices for various purposes (Azimuth-P, KIP-ZG-4, KPK-3, Rubin-S, ILS, APN, Kross, IRM-P, etc.) were developed and put into serial production and operation.

VHF direction finders were developed in the period of 1953 to 1964.

During the period of 1953 to 1964, the company developed automatic VHF radio direction finders for various purposes, including the Bussol radio direction finder, which were placed at all airfields of the USSR, as well as the ARP-6 VHF radio direction finder developed in 1955.

Radars were developed in the period of 1958 to 1965.

The Design Bureau has developed high-resolution Raskat radar for pilotage of vessels in ports with complex water areas and heavy loading. These radars were installed and put into operation in the ports of Leningrad, Mariupol, Odessa. During the same period of time, the Design Bureau has developed documentation, monitoring and training equipment for automated command post control systems (Proton, Phase-13), as well as a number of automated airborne equipment control systems for various types of aircraft.

Design Bureau Zarnitsa was established in the period of 1963 to 1988. Automated Control Systems

In 1964, the Design Bureau was appointed as the parent organization of the USSR Ministry of Radio Industry for automatic control of airborne avionics, and in 1966 it was separated as an independent organization, Design Bureau Zarnitsa.

Central Scientific Production Association Leninets was established in 1974.

Design Bureau Zarnitsa (which became a part of SPA Mars in 1972, and since 1974 after the reorganization of the SPA in the Central SPA Leninets) in the period of 1963 to 1988 was the development of automatic control systems (ASCs) for 80 aircraft of various types. The ground-based ACS has been developed since 1964 as a unified control system for airborne avionics on board the SU-15 and MIG-25P aircraft. The ACS Pluton, developed since 1967, served the avionics on board the SU-24 aircraft.

The subsequent ACS Uran-T provided verification of the avionics on board the MIG-25MP aircraft and used a more modern element base and unified designs. The development of microelectronic functional equipment was launched at the enterprise, as well as the sectoral coordination in the field of integrated miniaturization of avionics was carried out.

Scientific and Technical Center Luch was established in 1988.

On July 14, 1988, on the basis of a resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Council of Ministers of the USSR, by Order of the Minister of Radio Industry of the USSR, the Branch Scientific and Technical Center Luch was established to develop new radio electronic systems for aviation (Tu-204, Tu-334, Il-96-300, Il-114, MI-8 MT, Mi-17, Mi-34, Mi-38):

One of the activities of BSTC Luch was the development of emergency rescue and medical equipment for emergency medical services and structures of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation.

State Scientific and Production Enterprise Radar mms was established in 1990.

In 1990, by the Order of the Minister of Radio Industry of the USSR, the State Scientific and Production Enterprise Radar mms was established based on BSTC Luch and the branch of All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Radio-Electronic Systems Sector.

Radar mms was established in 1993.

In 1993, Radar mms became JSC Radar mms.

JSC Radar mms was established in 2015.

In 2015, JSC Radar mms was transformed into a Joint-Stock Company Scientific and Production Company Radar mms.

Radar mms’ Current Status

Joint-Stock Company Radar mms is one of the global leaders in the field of developing radio-electronic systems and suites, precision instruments, and software.

Company’s Awards

In 2010, 2015 and 2019, Radar mms was awarded the Gratitude of the President of the Russian Federation “For a Great Contribution to the Development of the Radio-Electronic Industry, the Strengthening of the Country's Defense Capability and Labor Achievements”.
