Sary Shagan Missile Defense Test Range (Kazakhstan) (Полигон ПРО Сары-Шаган)

      "В 1957 году в Твери были развернуты головной Научно-исследовательский институт войск ПВО (ЦНИИ-2 МО) и военная академия ПВО имени Маршала Советского Союза Г.К. Жукова (ныне военный университет). ЦНИИ-2 был и остается главным научным центром России в области воздушно-космической обороны (ВКО), законодателем в обосновании перспектив развития вооружения и построения системы. 
     1 сентября 1935 года считается днем появления института, когда был сформирован Артиллерийский стрелковый комитет (АСК) зенитной артиллерии (ЗА), в который переводятся специалисты Севастопольской школы ЗА. Комитет в составе 16 офицеров занимался вопросами теории стрельбы по воздушным целям, боевой подготовки и применения ЗА и приборов, разработки уставов, правил стрельбы и т.д. 
     К 1941 году на вооружение ПВО при непосредственном участии АСК поступает новая техника: 85-мм пушка образца 1939 года; приборы управления артиллерийским зенитным огнем (ПУАЗО); 37-мм автоматическая зенитная пушка образца 1939 года. 
     В 1942 году АСК преобразуется в стрелково-тактический комитет (СТК) ЗА и подчиняется напрямую Командующему войсками ПВО территории страны. Штат увеличен до 90 человек, в том числе 60 - военнослужащих. 
     В 1947 году, находясь в Москве, СТК преобразуется в научно-исследовательский институт стрельбы ЗА, переводится в Евпаторию и подчиняется президенту Академии артиллерийских наук (ААН) - Главному маршалу артиллерии Н.Н.Воронову. До 1955 года основным объектом изучения и исследования оставалась пушка. В 1955 году в результате выполненной НИР "Анализ возможностей существующих и вновь разрабатываемых средств ЗА по отражению состоящих на вооружении и перспективных СВН" впервые была теоретически обоснована необходимость отказа от применения ствольной ЗА (особенно средней и крупнокалиберной) и перехода к зенитным управляемым ракетам (ЗУР) как основному огневому средству. В эти годы осуществляется сотрудничество с такими учеными мирового класса, как Колмогоров, Благонравов, Прохоров, Пчельников, Пугачев, Вентцель, Лихтеров, Гришин и другие.
     В 1957 году НИИ-2 ААН переводится в Калинин (Тверь), называется НИИ-2 войск ПВО с вливанием сотрудников одного из Учебных центров потребительной авиации. В тверской период первым начальником института был назначен Герой Советского Союза, гвардии генерал-лейтенант артиллерии С.Ф. Ниловский. 
     С тех пор главным объектом исследований, наряду с прочими, являются зенитно-ракетные комплексы (ЗРК), в этом институт занимает ведущие позиции в стране и за ее пределами. В открытой печати сотрудников предприятий промышленности, в рекламных проспектах выставок военно-промышленных комплексов раскрывался процесс создания образцов и систем вооружения войск ПВО таких, как ЗРК С-25, С-75, С-125, С-200, С-300, С-400, А-35, "Панцирь", самолеты МиГ-31, СУ-27, различные РЛС, военно-космические объекты. Характеристики этих разработок находятся на мировом уровне соответствующих работ других стран, а в ряде случаев их превосходят. Институт НИИ-2 закладывал основы системного обоснования необходимости создания перечисленных видов оружия, их совместного применения в войсковых группировках, перспектив их дальнейшего развития и создания новых систем. 
     В 1956 г. были приняты решения об объединении научно-исследовательского института, научно-испытательного центра и ряда мелких научных структур родов войск в комплексный научно-исследовательский институт вида Вооруженных сил (ныне - 2-й ЦНИИ МО) и о создании Военной академии вида Вооруженных сил - Войск ПВО страны. 
     Ориентация НИИ на обоснованиеперспектив развития состава вооружения и построения системы ВКО в совместной работе с НИИ и КБ оборонных отраслей промышленности, а академии - на совершенствование организации системы ПВО, разработку форм и способов борьбы с воздушно-космическим противником, системы оперативной и боевой подготовки войск подводили комплексный научный фундамент под дальнейшее развитие Войск ПВО страны. Мудрое решение о совместной дислокации института и академии в одном месте (в г. Твери) благоприятствовало успешному выполнению возлагавшихся на них задач" (<www8.ewebcity.com/vad777/other/NII_MO.htm>, 29 May 01).

·         Commander's Phone: 513-9545 (openweb.ru, 23 March 2000).

  • Located in the city of Yubileynyy.  Resubordinated directly to Deputy Defense Minister Moskovskiy (Nezavisimoye voyennoye obozreniye, 21 Feb 03).
  • ["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).]

  • ["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).]

    He is one of the principal authors of all program documents specifying development of the Strategic Nuclear Forces and RVSN [Strategic Missile Troops].   For many years he worked as an expert in the preparation of the SALT II, INF, START I and START II treaties and made a significant contribution to forming the position of the USSR and Russia at strategic offensive arms limitation and reduction talks.   He has been awarded the orders "For Service to the Homeland" 4th Class, "Distinguished Military Service," Labor Red Banner and Red Star, and many medals" <Strana.ru>, 18 Feb 02).]

  • "The RF Armed Forces 17th Central Project Institute of Communications takes its history from 19 May 1949. According to Institute documentation, communications centers of hardened command posts of the General Staff, branches of the Armed Forces, military districts and armies were established and outfitted with elements of the Tsentr command and control system. A strategic satellite communications system and computer centers at military district command posts have been established. Institute specialists developed projects for communications and command and control systems in support of the RVSN [Strategic Missile Troops] under which hardened command posts, combat missile complexes with hardened antennas, and computer centers were built and placed on alert duty. Many of the projects originated in the Institute have been carried out for the first time, particularly the YeSSS-1 and YeSSS-2 space communications ground facilities, space reconnaissance facilities and a tropospheric communications system.  Despite difficult economic conditions, in the last few years the Institute has developed unique projects for a Ministry of Defense territorial communications system and dual-purpose satellite communications of the Northeastern Region. It is taking part in creating a unified system for battle management of strategic nuclear forces and [in creating] Topol-M missile complexes" (Krasnaya Zvezda, 21 May 1999).
