Research Center for Air Force Control Systems (also known as military unit 19161 , SIC SU Air Force ) - Research Center for Air Force Control Systems of the 30th Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation , is a center for semi-natural modeling of manned aircraft on the base of analog- digital complexes and technical equipment.
Geography
SIC SU Air Force is located on the territory of the Bogorodsky District of the Moscow Region , in the forest to the north of the city of Noginsk, initially outside its city limits [1] .
History
The center begins its history with the creation in the second half of the 1930s in the Noginsk suburb of the Aviation Weapons Scientific Testing Ground (NIP AV VVS), designed to test aircraft, develop tactics, and make recommendations on the use of new military equipment.
The complex included an airfield , an administrative and economic unit, the territory of a full-scale test of weapons, an economic and residential unit, and developed energy and transport support.
During the Great Patriotic War , the unit conducted not only test work, but also the preparation of air squads, and combat sorties were carried out from the airfield (for example, 1 TBAP , separate regiments of 23 TBAD ) [2]
In 1956, in accordance with the order of the Minister of Defense of the USSR of March 28, a computer center of the Air Force VTs-3 was created on the basis of the training ground. It consisted of 8 scientific departments headed by doctors and candidates of technical sciences:
- complexes of automated control of aviation operations;
- complexes of technical means of aviation control;
- electronic computers for aircraft systems;
- automation of combat training equipment;
- automatic and physical modeling;
- programming
- electronic digital computers;
- means of small-scale mechanization of computational work.
The VTs-3 was equipped with analog and digital computers and, by 1960, became the center of the semi-natural modeling of manned aircraft (LA) based on analog-digital systems and real onboard aircraft equipment. The first chief of the VTs-3, Major General Aviation Zelik Aronovich Ioffe, who went through the harsh years of the Spanish and World War II, rallied an active team of scientists and engineers.
In January 1961, in accordance with a Government decree, 30 Central Research Institute of the Air Force was formed in the urban-type village of Chkalovskoye (Shchelkovo), and VTs-3 acquired the status of one of its scientific departments - the 5th Directorate 30 of the Central Scientific Research Institute (military unit 19161) . In subsequent years, military unit 19161 expanded the scope of its work, in particular to the field of space use:
- research in maneuverable orbital flight modes of spacecraft at the descent stage;
- a simulator was developed for practicing the process of docking spacecraft ( S. P. Korolev visited the simulator of the SIC SU Air Force to familiarize himself with the simulator); in 1964, the simulator was transferred to the Cosmonaut Training Center (CPC);
- created a full-scale simulator "Volga" for spacecraft (also transferred to the CPC, used to prepare the Soyuz-Apollon program );
- a complex of semi-natural modeling of an orbital plane was created - a prototype of the Buran orbiter
For the Navy in military unit 19161, semi-full-scale models of complexes for anti-submarine detection from Il-38 aircraft with the Berkut sighting and flight system and from Tu-142 with the Berkut-M sighting and flight system were created.
More than 200 pilots were trained for the Air Force at the semi-natural modeling complex of the Su-24 aircraft; trained more than 150 ACS operators for military aviation.
The nature of the international situation of the 60s put forward the task of automating the management of strategic forces in first place. In this connection, in 1968, the development of an automated command and control system for troops was set, within the framework of which the Air Force subsystem was developed. The development of large-scale work on the creation of the ACS of the Air Force in the 70s required a reorientation of research in military unit 19161. For this purpose, the unit formed departments for the development of information, linguistic, special mathematical support, as well as for the study of issues in the field of land communications in interests of automated aviation control.
The Air Force command during this period, paying close attention to the work on automation of command and control systems, took the necessary measures to strengthen the material and technical base and increase the number of employees of military unit 19161. In 1974, 155 experimental-research command post of automated control was formed ( 155 EIKP AU) (military unit 40808) located in the turbine housing in / h 19161. 155 EIKP AU was a place of practice for hundreds of students at the air Force Academy named after Yuri Gagarin, the Military airy Second Engineering Academy named after NE Zhukovsky and students of the Kiev Higher Military Aviation Engineering School and the Kharkov Higher Military Aviation School of Radio Electronics.
In order to expand the front of scientific research in the field of automation of the Air Force control in 1998, in accordance with the Directive of the First Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, military unit 19161 was transformed into the Scientific Research Center for Air Force Control Systems (SIC SU Air Force) 30 Central Research Institute of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Over the years, the SIC SU Air Force has defended more than 20 candidate dissertations in it, the commander of the SIC SU Air Force in 1990-1997, Colonel Ivan Naydenov defended his doctoral dissertation.
There is a museum of the history of the unit at the Research Center of the Air Force.
From December 01, 2010 - 6 NRU Scientific Research Center AT and 4 Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of Russia.
SIC Air Force personnel
- Head of SIC SU Air Force - Colonel Vitaly Petukhov;
- Deputy Head of the Research Center of the Air Force Directorate - Colonel Sergey Bartyuk.
There are no conscript soldiers in SIC SU Air Force; officers and civilian research officers serve here. Scientific research personnel are being trained at the Research Center of the Air Force.
