Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design
JSC V.V. Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design is a joint stock company, one of the Russian enterprises in the development of weaponry control systems for fighter planes and mobile medium range anti-aircraft SAM defence vehicles.
History
The institute was created on March 1, 1955 as a branch of the Moscow NII-17 by the Ministry of Aircraft Industry of the USSR Council of Ministers. In February 1956, the NII-17 branch was reorganized into an independent enterprise known as Scientific Research Institute for Instrumentation, or NIIP. In 1994 the institute was named after his first CEO Viktor Tikhomirov.At present, NIIP is an enterprise with an industrial and economic infrastructure. The area occupied by the Institute is 42000 square meters.
