This Farnborough issue of the corporate magazine covers the range of key industry topics, highlighting our business in Russian avionics and state-of-the-art electronicwarfare technologies. KRET was established in January 2009 by Order of the State Corporation Rostechnologies as a specialized management company. The Concern united over 100 enterprises pertaining to the most high-tech and innovative industries of the Russian economy. Presently, KRET enterprises and organizations’ activities are related to the development and manufacturing of electronic hardware, means of electronic surveillance, friend-or-foe identification, airborne electronics, and special-pur- pose measuring tools, as well as circuit couplings, electrical connectors, and cable assemblies. The enterprises of the Concern are located across Russia, from Saint Petersburg to Vladivostok, and the total number of employees exceeds 66,000 people. Today, the products churned out by the KRET subsidiaries enjoy steady demand on both the domestic and foreign markets. The successful development of the Concern has enabled it to set new objec- tives. The ones set for until 2020 have been spelt out by the corporate docu- ment titled 2020 Radioelectronic Technologies Concern Development Strategy. Under the strategy, the top priority is to fulfil the orders gained under the Russian Governmental Defence Acquisition Programme and Governmental Armament Programme on time and in full. Since the foundation of KRET, we have succeeded in what is most impor- tant, having created a dynamic, effectively evolving entity capable of responding in an adequate manner to the challenges of the times.

  • Missilesmissilesdr Carlo Kopp in the Asia-Pacific
    MISSILESMISSILESDr Carlo Kopp in the Asia-Pacific oday, offensive missiles are the primary armament of fighter aircraft, with missile types spanning a wide range of specialised niches in range, speed, guidance technique and intended target. With the Pacific Rim and Indian Ocean regions today the fastest growing area globally in buys of evolved third generation combat aircraft, it is inevitable that this will be reflected in the largest and most diverse inventory of weapons in service. At present the established inventories of weapons are in transition, with a wide variety of Tlegacy types in service, largely acquired during the latter Cold War era, and new technology 4th generation missiles are being widely acquired to supplement or replace existing weapons. The two largest players remain the United States and Russia, although indigenous Israeli, French, German, British and Chinese weapons are well established in specific niches. Air to air missiles, while demanding technologically, are nevertheless affordable to develop and fund from a single national defence budget, and they result in greater diversity than seen previously in larger weapons, or combat aircraft designs. Air-to-air missile types are recognised in three distinct categories: highly agile Within Visual Range (WVR) missiles; less agile but longer ranging Beyond Visual Range (BVR) missiles; and very long range BVR missiles. While the divisions between the latter two categories are less distinct compared against WVR missiles, the longer ranging weapons are often quite unique and usually much larger, to accommodate the required propellant mass. In technological terms, several important developments have been observed over the last decade.

  • Rostec Will Create a Single Corporate Aircraft Manufacturing Center in Moscow
    50SKYSHADESImage not found or type unknown- aviation news ROSTEC WILL CREATE A SINGLE CORPORATE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING CENTER IN MOSCOW News / Manufacturer Image not found or type unknown © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 Rostec State Corporation will unite UAC, Sukhoi and MiG companies into a single corporate aircraft manufacturing center, which will consolidate the management of aircraft programs and other UAC assets. The engineering and design functions of the group will be separated into a separate center, which will be located in Moscow - it will include all aviation design bureaus. Such decisions were announced by the General Director of the State Corporation Rostec Sergey Chemezov at a meeting with the management of the United Aircraft Corporation and its leading engineering centers, where the tasks of the development of the aircraft industry for the coming years were discussed. The objectives of the transformations being carried out are to increase the economic sustainability of the UAC Group, optimize the administrative and managerial staff, and reduce non-production costs and debt burden. To control the ongoing transformations, the head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, intends to personally head the UAC Board of Directors. The optimization will not affect the engineering staff. Design schools will remain independent, receive new opportunities for development, as well as improved working conditions in the format of the Unified Engineering and Design Center. The center will be located in Moscow, where the existing test and bench infrastructure of the UAC is concentrated. Moving aviation design bureaus to other regions is not on the agenda.
