01 Definition

Russian defense enterprise that developed missile defense radars and directed-energy upper-atmosphere plasma weapon concepts.

02 Detailed_Analysis

The Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making (NIIRP, now part of Almaz-Antey) is a premier Russian defense research institute responsible for strategic anti-ballistic missile (ABM) radar systems (such as the Don-2N). Under R. F. Avramenko, NIIRP led theoretical and experimental programs on using high-power microwave phased arrays to create atmospheric plasmoids for intercepting high-speed projectiles.

03 Key_Facts

  • Key enterprise in Soviet/Russian strategic ABM radar development
  • Developed the Don-2N radar for the Moscow A-135 ABM system
  • Researched upper-atmosphere microwave plasmoid generation for missile defense

Intelligence Summary: Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making

Node Identity: Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making is a organisation categorized under "Black Track" in the russia intelligence graph. Avramenko's institute. Developed the ground-based plasma weapon system using phased arrays of microwave/laser generators to focus electromagnetic energy into the upper atmosphere, creating plasmoids that deflect and destroy projectiles.

Research Evidence: The following findings from 5 research documents reference this entity:

  1. Documented in FBIS translations, Russian patents, and US patents.** The Avramenko Plasmoid ABM System: - Academician Ramiliy Avramenko: Chief designer of the Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making (Russian: НИИР) - Concept: Focus beams of electromagnetic energy (laser or microwave) into upper atmosphere (up to 50 km) - Mechanism: Creates cloud of highly ionized air (plasmoid) at focus point.
  2. Avramenko, identified as "chief designer of the Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making and the scientific director of the efforts to create plasma weapons in Russia," described a plasma weapon system based on focusing electromagnetic energy (laser or microwave radiation) into the upper atmosphere: > "A cloud of highly ionized air arises at the focus of the laser or microwave rays, at an altitude of up to 50 kilometers.
