Scientific Research Institute of Electronic Machine Building is a research organization focused on electronic systems engineering, avionics, radar, and automated control technologies. The institute engages in systems integration, prototype development, and field testing for aerospace, defense, and civil applications. It maintains partnerships with academic institutions, industrial enterprises, and international agencies to advance sensor fusion, signal processing, and embedded computing.
The institute traces origins to Soviet-era research establishments that evolved alongside Krasnoye Sormovo Factory No. 112, Tupolev, Mikoyan-Gurevich, Ilyushin, and Sukhoi design bureaus during post-World War II reconstruction. During the Cold War the institute collaborated with OKB-1, Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design, Zhukovsky Institute, NPO Mashinostroyeniya, and Soviet Armed Forces research arms to develop radar and guidance electronics. In the late 20th century it interacted with Roscosmos, United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation, Rostec, Russian Academy of Sciences, and Moscow State University to modernize avionics and control systems. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union the institute adapted to market reforms, engaging with Gazprom, Rosneft, Siemens, Thales Group, and BAE Systems on civil projects. In the 21st century it expanded research ties with European Space Agency, NASA, CERN, Fraunhofer Society, and multinational universities.
The institute is organized into multidisciplinary laboratories named for areas such as radar engineering, avionics, microelectronics, software-defined radio, and cyber-physical systems, modeled after structures at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Bell Labs, Instituto Balseiro, CEA Grenoble, and RIKEN. Its governance includes a scientific council with members from Russian Academy of Sciences, Skolkovo Foundation, Higher School of Economics, Saint Petersburg State University, and representatives from industry partners such as Almaz-Antey, KRET, Uralvagonzavod, and United Aircraft Corporation. Technical divisions mirror practices at Honeywell Aerospace, Rockwell Collins, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon Technologies. The administrative office interfaces with procurement bodies like Rosoboronexport, Ministry of Defence (Russia), Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, and export consortia.
R&D programs emphasize phased array radar, digital signal processing, sensor fusion, and fault-tolerant embedded systems, drawing methodologies from IEEE, ACM, SPIE, OSA, and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Projects reference mathematical frameworks developed at Steklov Institute of Mathematics, Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, and Keldysh Research Center. Collaborative research has been published alongside teams at Imperial College London, ETH Zurich, Tsinghua University, Peking University, and University of Toronto. The institute applies model-based systems engineering approaches similar to INCOSE standards and integrates tools influenced by MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, Cadence Design Systems, and Xilinx platforms.
Products include airborne radar suites, electronic warfare modules, navigation systems, and real-time control units compatible with platforms such as Sukhoi Su-57, MiG-35, Ilyushin Il-76, Mil Mi-28, and unmanned systems like Forpost, Orlan-10, and MQ-9 Reaper-class designs in export contexts. Components leverage semiconductor processes associated with TSMC partners, packaging techniques used by Infineon Technologies, and firmware practices comparable to ARM Holdings architectures. Technology offerings parallel commercial systems from Garmin, Honeywell International, Thales Group, Elbit Systems, and Dassault Systèmes in avionics and mission computing.
The institute maintains formal collaborations with research centers such as Skolkovo Innovation Center, Moscow Aviation Institute, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University, and international laboratories including CNRS, Max Planck Society, Tokyo Institute of Technology, KAIST, and CSIRO. Industrial partnerships extend to UAC, Helicopters of Russia, United Engine Corporation, Transneft, Siemens Energy, Schneider Electric, Boeing, Airbus, and Leonardo S.p.A.. Funding and project cooperation involve agencies like European Commission, Horizon 2020, EUREKA, ODA, and international standards organizations including ISO and ITU.
Facilities include anechoic chambers, climatic test chambers, vibration rigs, EMC/EMI ranges, and hardware-in-the-loop simulators comparable to setups at Draper Laboratory, EADS Innovation Works, Center for Advanced Aerospace Systems, and U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. The institute operates program management offices for lifecycle testing aligned with MIL-STD-810, RTCA DO-178C, RTCA DO-254, and IEEE 802 families. Field-testing ranges coordinate with airfields such as Zhukovsky International Airport, Khimki Airfield, and maritime ranges used by Navy of the Russian Federation and allied fleets.
Notable contributions include development of phased array radar prototypes used in upgrades to platforms associated with Almaz-Antey systems, avionics suites integrated into Irkut Corporation aircraft, and guidance electronics for spaceborne experiments coordinated with Roscosmos and European Space Agency. The institute contributed to signal processing algorithms later cited alongside work from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Caltech, Stanford University, Princeton University, and Harvard University. Collaborative innovations influenced standards referenced by ETSI, 3GPP, and IEEE Standards Association and informed export projects with partners such as Turkish Aerospace Industries, Embraer, Israel Aerospace Industries, and Saab AB.
