Construction has begun in Tambov on a new production facility operated by PAO Elektropibor, part of KRET (Concern Radio-Electronic Technologies), a subsidiary of Rostec. The plant will manufacture strapdown inertial navigation systems (INS) for Russian-built commercial aircraft.
The project is being implemented in cooperation with other Rostec enterprises under a broader program to expand aircraft and aerospace component output. The new facility will cover more than 131,000 sq. ft. (12,200 sq. m). It is expected to create over 500 jobs and deploy approximately 200 units of production equipment.
The site will produce laser gyro-based strapdown INS units. The systems are designed for integration into the avionics suites of the MC-21-310 narrowbody, the SJ-100 regional jet, the Ilyushin Il-114-300 turboprop, the Tupolev Tu-214, and the Ilyushin Il-96 widebody.
Strapdown INS measure angular rates, linear accelerations, and aircraft attitude without the use of a stabilized mechanical platform. Laser gyroscope architecture provides the required accuracy and long-term stability for autonomous operation. The systems are designed for seamless integration with onboard avionics and flight control systems.
KRET approved the construction following an assessment of incremental demand driven by planned serial production rates. Increased output is required to supply both final assembly lines and the aftermarket support network.
Founded in 1954, Elektropibor specializes in the design and manufacture of navigation systems for the aerospace sector. KRET consolidates Russia’s leading radio-electronic enterprises under the Rostec umbrella.
The new complex expands domestic production capacity for critical navigation equipment and reduces reliance on external suppliers for key onboard system components.
