Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JSC V.V. Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design (Russian: ОАО «Научно-исследовательский институт имени В.В.Тихомирова», Russian: НИИП, NIIP) - joint stock company, is one of the major Russian enterprises in the fields of developing the aircraft weaponry control systems for fighter planes and mobile medium range anti-aircraft SAM defence vehicles.
The Institute was created on March 1, 1955 as a branch of the Moscow NII-17 by the Ministry of Aircraft Industry of the USSR Council of Ministers (Resolution no. 2436-1005, September 18, 1954). In February 1956, the NII-17 branch was reorganized into an independent enterprise, commonly known as Scientific Research Institute for Instrumentation, or NIIP.
At present, NIIP is a modern technically equipped enterprise with a developed industrial and economic infrastructure. The total area occupied by the Institute is 42000 square meters. The scientific, technical, industrial and social environment created in NIIP allows the staff to perform successful development of modern radar equipment for various applications.
