Leading dual technologies

Elektropribor is Russia's specialist producer of navigation and orientation systems.

The State Research Center of Russia - Central Scientific & Research Institute (CSRI) Elektropribor is a leader in high-precision inertial navigation, and using advanced technology and the most up-to-date equipment, manufactures stabilisation systems, celestial radio-optical navigation systems, electromagnetic and dynamic pressure logs, dead-reckoning tracers, autopilots and gyrostabilised marine gravity meters.
As the number of defence contracts reduced, CSRI developed dual technologies for international markets that include a multi-purpose, small gyroscopic inertial system. Initially designed as a ship's stabilisation system, it has been used in land inertial-geodetic integrated systems (Geomer) and for monitoring railway track profile.

A six-channel micro-acceleration sensor designed for spacecraft
A gyrostabilised gravity meter is a modified marine gravity meter used for sea and air geological gravimetric surveys. Only this unique modified meter is suitable for air surveys. Developed from a dual quartz system that provides unique stability of null point drift, tests have proved that, uniquely, the Chekan-M's high-quality gyrostabilisation operates in high pitching and rolling conditions.
A miniature integrated inertial/satellite navigation system has been designed for use in small ships, planes and ground-based vehicles. This cheap, compact integrated system with low power requirements, consists of a strapdown inertial measuring unit built on Russian micro miniature dynamically tuned gyros and rotor vibration accelerometers, a receiver of the global satellite navigation system GPS/GLONASS 24 produced by Ashtek, and an IBM-compatible micro computer.
An electronic chart display information system offers automated marine navigation and planning and monitoring of a ship's motion on a preset route. It is approved by the Maritime Register of Shipping and the Marine Administration of the Russian Federation and satisfies the requirements of the International Marine.
Organisation. It uses official digital electronic charts in the DX-90 international standard.
The architecture is based on Intel micro processors and the program package can be supplied separately The elaborated interface system provides integration with different kinds of log, compass and GPS/GLONASS receiver.
A micro-acceleration sensor for spacecraft is based on a three-co-ordinate accelerometer with contactless magnetic suspension of the spherical proof-mass. The spectral analysis of accelerations, statistic information processing and information storage are provided by a special micro, PC-computer.
CSRI Elektropribor R&D covers many areas and products that are at various stages of production. Scientific links with many leading western organisations and worldwide distribution of its industrial products has made CSRI Elektropribor highly competitive.
