Scientific Research Institute of Radio Instrument Making (NIIRP)
Key design bureau for Russian strategic ABM tracking and experimental plasma-based intercept concepts.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
