Division for Air Armament

The aim of the Division for Air Armament is development and upgrading of air armament.

Essential research and design lines:

• reliability and safety tests by means of analyzing reliability of airborne armament and correctness of air weapons performance;
• examination of systems of operating the weapons;
• investigating into feasibility of prolonging service lives of air weapons after the warranty periods guaranteed by manufactures/suppliers have expired;
• new designs air weapons;
• upgrading the aircraft and helicopters' on-board equipment by means of applying new, technologically advanced solutions to attack avionics;
• development of new systems of the engineered means to provide the air force units with ground-based and flying training;
• evolving new methods of field and flight tests of air weapons on the grounds of research work in the following lines: dynamics of objects, ballistics, effectiveness of combat applications, pyrotechnics, opto-electronics, and navigation.
