4th Scientific-Research Institute [Ministry of Defense]
- ["In May 1946, in accordance with a resolution of the USSR Soviet of Ministers and by order of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, creation began of the Scientific-Research Artillery Institute of Rocket-Propelled Armaments (NII-4), now the 4th Central Scientific-Research Institute of the Russian Federation Ministry of Defense.
"In 1953, after entering the Academy
of Artillery Sciences system, NII-4 actively dealt with the creation and
development of the first long-range,
liquid-fuel, guided missiles, the R-1 and R-2,
and in the 50s - the strategic missiles R-5M and R-12. The research
conducted here touched on issues relating to ballistics, attitude control and
stability in flight. . . .
Starting in the mid 50s,
under the leadership of Deputy Chief of NII-4 B. Zhitkov, work began on
researching the possibility of creating long-range, solid-fuel missiles.
After the formation of the
Strategic Missile Troops, in December of 1959, the Institute became part of
their make-up and began carrying out the orders of the Main Staff, NTK
[Scientific Technical Committee], GURVO [Main Directorate of Missile Troops
Equipment] and other RVSN CINC directorates" (Armeyskiy Sbornik, 01 Jun
01).]
- [Located in the city of Bol'shevo outside Moscow. "The main objective of this leading research establishment of the Strategic Missile Troops is the provision of operational and strategic substantiation for the employment of nuclear missiles. ...there are now 1,500 research officers working at the institute (average rank: lieutenant colonel), and approximately 1,000 civilians. These include 30 doctors and 500 candidates of sciences. These specialists in their time developed possible scenarios for large- scale combat actions, with probable opponents being NATO and the USSR. Today, according to Dvorkin, much attention has to be given to regional scenarios: 'Regional conflicts are of interest to us from the viewpoint of the survivability of nuclear rocket forces because we believe that losses of strategic nuclear forces in conventional war are unacceptable.' Moreover, provisions have to be made for the possibility of mass destruction weapons appearing in third countries. 'In this event, if irrational regimes are in power there,' Vladimir Dvorkin stressed, 'we must have the possibility to threaten some selective local action.' ... The institute has its own linear accelerator which can speed up electrons to the energy of 7 megaelectron-volts." (Nezavisimaya Gazeta 4 Nov 94 p 1).]
