The Research and Production Enterprise Kaluga Instrument-Making Plant Typhoon JSC has a more than 35-year history. The main manufacturing activity of the enterprise concerned to production of radars for surface ships of different displacement and of coastal missile systems
In the 80-s, the plant Typhoon became one of the first enterprises which managed to launch serial production of radiotechnical systems and facilities of different types that provided, in automated mode, the surveillance of surface and air situation, the tracking of air and surface targets, the target distribution and turning out the targeting data to the fire control systems of missile, anti-aircraft and artillery armament. Missile cruisers, aircraft carrying ships, small and large anti-submarine ship, missile boats and coastal missile systems (including these of the foreign states) are equipped with the plant's production.
In 1994, Typhoon Instrument-Making Plant was transformed into joint-stock company and started the complete upgrading of products and realization of strategic projects on development of new generation radar systems. Due to the practical support of the leading research institutes – developers of radioelectronic facilities, ship designers and ship builders, the enterprise develops and upgrades its scientific and production base. These works have resulted in the following products:
- shipboard radar Pozitiv-ME1, which has proved its high technical and operational characteristics after overall test and operation in the ships of different types;
- coastal missile system Bal-E, designed for control of straight zones and territorial waters, protection of naval bases, other coastal objects and coastal infrastructure, protection of landing-attractive areas.
In the 2002, having become a research and production enterprise, the Typhoon JSC upgraded the articles Pozitiv-ME1, Pozitiv-ME1.2 and Mineral-ME. The shipboard radar system Mineral-ME comprises the functions of three hardware components: active radar channel, passive radar channel and the channel of mutual communication and orientation. Its technical specifications enable to organize the efficient combat performance of guided missile weapon both of single ship and naval force.
Concerning coastal defense, the enterprise has developed the coastal system for air and surface targets location Monolit-B designed for turning out the targeting data to the missile weapon control systems of different coastal systems.
At present, the works are carried out on the development of multifunctional radioelectronic systems and new generation systems designed to fulfill the battle missions both of single ships and ships of tactical team, as well as of the coastal systems in the same tactical and data field. At the same time, the enterprise provides the support of its products on every stage of their life cycles.
