The NIIVK team has developed, introduced into production and accompanied on-site high-performance computers and systems that have been mass-produced for more than 30 years. These machines are equipped with a number of important special-purpose systems, many of which are in operation today.
The founder of the Company is the Federal Agency for State Property Management [2] .
History
The staff of the future institute began to take shape in the 1950s as part of the electrical systems laboratory of the Power Engineering Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences (ENIN), where one of the first automatic digital computers in the Soviet Union, M-1, was created . The head of the laboratory was the corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences I. S. Bruk .
A young talented engineer, a graduate of the radio engineering faculty of Moscow Power Engineering Institute, M. A. Kartsev worked in this laboratory. For the M-1, he designed a control device - the Main Software Sensor (GPA). When creating the next M-2 car in 1952-1953, Kartsev already led a group of engineers and was a recognized leader in development [3] .
In 1957, the Kartsev team was assigned to Special Laboratory No. 2, which, on the orders of the Ministry of Defense, began work on creating computing facilities for solving radar control tasks and processing information received from them in a missile attack warning system (SPRN) [4] .
In 1967, in order to accelerate the development of the ESPN development program, a decision was made to create specialized computers . Under this task, on the basis of Special Laboratory No. 2, they organized an independent institute - the Research Institute of Computing Complexes (NIIVK). It was headed by M. A. Kartsev. Under his leadership, four generations of computers were created (M-4, M-4-2M, M-10, M-13 ), which by technical characteristics were superior to other domestic computers and were at the level of the best foreign models of their time.
In addition to specialized computers for the defense complex, NIIVK developed consumer goods. In 1981-1982 a group of specialists of the institute created the first Soviet personal computer " Agat ". At that time in the USSR there were no computer components suitable for domestic use, and the profile plants did not want to engage in an “incomprehensible and frivolous” product. Therefore, the first "Agatha" going assemblers NIIVK. Employees of the Institute seriously approached the development of personal computers and actively engaged in their propaganda. One of the cars was transferred to the clinic of Svyatoslav Fyodorov . In 1984, Agat was presented at the international exhibition CeBIT . In the same year, it was transferred to industrial production at the LEMZ , and in 1985, at EVT [5] .
The developments of the NIIVK were awarded the USSR State Prizes , many of the Institute’s employees were awarded orders and medals of the USSR. In 1986, the Institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor .
In 1993, the institute was named after MA Kartsev.
