Andrey ARKHIPOV

The date of establishment of the institute is September 3, 1932. On this day, in accordance with the order of the Chief of the Naval Forces of the Red Army, research institutes of the Navy began to function, including the Research Institute of Military Shipbuilding (NIIVK), the Artillery Research Institute maritime institute(ANIMI) and Research Mine and Torpedo Institute (NIMIT).

Deciding general tasks the creation of ships, the basis of the combat power of the fleet, and the institutions of shipbuilding and weapons developed independently over the course of several decades. Then, as a result of a series of reorganizations, they were united on the basis of the Institute of Shipbuilding into a single 1 Central Research Institute of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

From the very beginning, in the process of its formation, NIIVK became an authoritative scientific institution that took a leading position in many areas of shipbuilding. This tradition continues to this day. Currently, the institute employs highly qualified scientific personnel, including 3 honored scientists of Russia, 46 doctors and 138 candidates of science, 30 professors, 33 laureates of State and government awards. The institute has two doctoral dissertation councils: on problems of shipbuilding and weapons. Scientists at the institute have created scientific schools that make a significant contribution to the theory and practice of domestic shipbuilding, as well as the development of naval weapons. In a number of positions, they still occupy leading positions in the world. The institute has created and is constantly improving a computer-aided research design system, as well as a corporate information system. Many years of comprehensive research, summarizing the experience of domestic and foreign shipbuilding and weapons, solving scientific and technical problems arising in the process of creating and operating ships, weapons and equipment, allowed the institute’s staff to create a unique scientific potential that has no analogues either in our country or abroad. abroad.

The main task of the Navy Research Institute of KV today is to formulate the appearance of promising ships and substantiate tactical and technical specifications (TTZ) for the creation of ships and models of weapons and equipment. The objects of research of the institute are submarines, surface ships, auxiliary vessels of all classes, their weapons systems, ship power engineering, systems automatic control, habitability of ships, medical support personnel, the international naval arms market and military-technical cooperation.

After the approval of tactical and technical specifications, the main task of the institute becomes military-scientific support for the design and construction of lead ships, as well as the creation of new types of weapons and equipment for them. The essence of this type scientific activity consists, first of all, in ensuring unconditional compliance by industry with the requirements of technical specifications. And this is not just a control function, but a scientific, technical and design search together with industry in solving problems that constantly arise not only in the design process, but also during the construction of lead ships. Such problems, as a rule, do not have clear answers and can be solved in different ways. And the positions of the fleet (customer) and industry (performer) in the process of solving them do not always coincide. The institute’s task is to resolve all emerging issues in an optimal way for the fleet, providing the ship with maximum combat capabilities. This is usually not easy and requires high professionalism and erudition of military specialists.

With the completion of the construction of the lead ships, the institute participates in the development of state testing programs and their implementation. One of the main functions of the Navy KV Research Institute is also to assist the fleet in the development of new ships. Naturally, everything said about ships fully applies to new types of weapons and equipment.

Today there is a clear tendency to reduce the Armed Forces. This led to a decrease in the number of research organizations of the Navy and required the maximum concentration of their scientific potential.

In accordance with the government decision Russian Federation in 2009 the Military educational and scientific center Navy (VUNTS), uniting military educational institutions and research institutes of the Navy on the basis of the Naval Academy. 1 Central Research Institute, along with 24 Central Research Institutes and 40 State Research Institutes, structurally became part of the VUNTS Navy “Naval Academy named after. Admiral of the Fleet Soviet Union N.G. Kuznetsov" as structural unit. On March 15, 2012, by order of the Minister of Defense, the name of the institute was changed - Research Institute of Shipbuilding and Weapons of the Navy VUNTS Navy "Naval Academy".

As a modern, dynamically developing research organization that has business connections with almost all scientific, design and production organizations associated with the fleet and shipbuilding, as well as with many higher educational institutions countries, the institute is ready to establish new creative contacts in order to solve the main task - strengthening and development Navy Russia.

Since 1994, the institute has opened a new area of ​​activity for scientific support of the export of naval equipment. This direction includes:

Identification of the existing and potential demand of the VMT customer through a comprehensive study of the state of the world market and prospects for its development, as well as analysis of promising directions in the field of shipbuilding and VMT;

Determination of the optimal relationship between the overall appearance and individual tactical and technical characteristics of ships, weapons and technical means created for the Navy and exported (projects 12322, 11430, 20382, “Gepard”, etc.);

Identification of promising ship projects for construction within the same series for export and for the domestic Navy, which makes them much cheaper (projects 11356 and 636);

Formation long-term plans export shipbuilding and their coordination with national programs;

Collaborate through meetings, preparing reports and developing practical recommendations with defense industry enterprises and government agencies– FSMTC and OJSC Rosoboronexport.

Work in this area was highly appreciated by the country's leadership, for which the institute's employees were awarded State Prizes of the Russian Federation, Prizes of the Government of the Russian Federation and national Golden Idea awards.

The highly qualified specialists of the institute give confidence that in the 21st century the quality of ships domestic fleet will determine its leading position in the world.

The Admiral Kuznetsov Naval Academy is one of the oldest military universities in Russia, founded under Peter the Great.
