UFA, 24 January. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about plans to significantly increase the share of civilian products at the enterprises of the military-industrial complex: by 2030 it should grow to 50%. "The strategic task is to increase the share of civilian products to 30% of the total defense industry production by 2025, and to 50% by 2030," he said at a meeting on diversifying the production of civilian products at defense enterprises.
Quality product at a competitive price
The President noted that a number of large-scale programs are currently being implemented to modernize the electric power industry and develop digital economy, as well as on the introduction of the best available technologies, equipping with modern equipment medical institutions, the creation of a waste recycling industry. "Enterprises of the military-industrial complex should be more actively involved in such programs and projects," the head of state demanded. it would be harmful to create [such products]."
As Putin noted, it is also necessary to analyze what barriers, primarily legislative ones, hinder the diversification of defense industries, including in public procurement. In particular, we are talking about what prevents the conclusion of so-called full-fledged contracts. life cycle. "The work to remove such barriers should be carried out already in the spring parliamentary session," the president added.
According to him, the production of civilian products should ensure the full load of defense industry enterprises and their financial stability, especially after passing the peak of the volume of state defense orders and their subsequent reduction after 2020. Putin noted that the diversification of production should take place on a systematic basis. “A number of enterprises have already actively joined this work,” he stated. “Diversification of the production of defense enterprises, of course, should not be limited to individual successful projects. It is important to put it on a systematic basis, and the managers and the entire staff of enterprises should the same responsibility as for the fulfillment of the state defense order.
The role of state-owned companies
Companies with state participation should form starting orders for the defense industry for the purchase of civilian products, while replacing its imports from abroad. "It is necessary to form start-up orders that will help enterprises more confidently go through the initial stage of diversification," Putin said. "And here, of course, companies with state participation play a special role. Instead of foreign products, they should focus on purchasing existing and created domestic analogues."
The head of state noted that he foresees "criticism in this part in advance: you need to buy not just domestic, but you need to buy the best that is in the world." "Yes, of course, that's true," the president remarked. "We need to buy the best in the world. We need to ensure that domestic products become like that." Putin instructed government commission on import substitution to tackle this problem.
He also noted that it is necessary to find a balanced formula, how to divide between the state and the enterprise economic risks and costs. The President said that first of all it is important for research and development, certification, development of service support and after-sales service.
Putin also drew attention to the fact that when implementing projects to diversify production in the defense industry, it is necessary to actively apply the mechanism of special investment contracts.
Stable order volumes
A little earlier, at a meeting with the workers of PJSC United Engine Corporation - Ufa Engine Production Association"The president stated that the level of production of civilian products at defense industry enterprises is still not high enough. "We have this [diversification] going on, but at a very limited pace," he said.
The head of state assured the workers that the volume of state defense orders in the country is not decreasing, and the new state arms program will ensure stable volumes of orders until 2027. “In general, there is no decrease, just as there was no sharp increase last year, it’s all quite mild,” the president said. “We have already adopted an arms program and a state defense order until 2027, so everything is stable, you will work."
Increasing responsibility
As the head of Rostec Sergey Chemezov said at a meeting in Ufa, defense industry enterprises should be adapted and resistant to fluctuations in the state defense order, but their responsibility for failing to meet targets for diversifying production should be increased. "The cyclical nature of the volume of state defense orders is a common phenomenon. It is present in all countries," he stated. "Our enterprises must be no less adapted and resistant to fluctuations in the state defense order," Chemezov is sure. high-tech products that fully utilize the technological and production potential of defense industry enterprises.
According to the head of Rostec, it is necessary to increase the responsibility of defense industry enterprises for failure to meet the set goals and key performance indicators for civilian products. "Only if there are strong incentives and high motivation expected results," he said.
Zhurenkov Denis Alexandrovich, Trushkova Elena Alexandrovna
College Military Industrial Commission The Russian Federation decided to develop a strategy for the diversification of the defense industry until 2030. The first draft should be ready in October.
The strategy should reflect the goals, objectives, mechanisms, main stages and directions of defense industry diversification.
5 months for development
The decision was made following the results of the military-industrial conference "Diversification of the production of high-tech civilian products by defense industry organizations" in Perm on March 6, 2018.
By October 1, 2018, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia - jointly by the state corporations Rosatom, Roscosmos and Rostec - must develop a draft Strategy for the diversification of defense industry organizations until 2030.
In addition to the goals, objectives, mechanisms and directions of diversification, the Strategy should define the role and place of government bodies, development institutions, defense industry organizations and private business.
At this conference, a number of decisions were made, which, most likely, will also be reflected in the Strategy-2030 on a systematic basis.
1. Together with the fuel and energy complex, banks, infrastructure corporations and telecom operators, it is necessary to submit proposals to the Government of the Russian Federation on possible mechanisms for the formation subsidiaries or joint ventures created by defense industry organizations for the production of PGN and PDN. With attraction in their authorized capital financial resources from parent companies. According to the plan, these same companies should become customers and main consumers of these products.
2. The idea of holding an all-Russian competition “Make in Russia and buy Russian” was supported. It is also necessary to develop proposals for the status of the national award given to the winners of the competition for success in solving the problems of diversifying the defense industry.
3. It is necessary to analyze the effectiveness of existing state support measures for domestic manufacturers of high-tech civilian products.
4. Already before July 1, it is necessary to submit proposals to the Government of the Russian Federation proposals for amendments to the legislation, enabling domestic manufacturers of high-tech civilian products to conclude long-term contracts for the implementation of R & D, mass production and service.
5. Together with the companies of the fuel and energy complex, a decision was made to create industrial testing grounds that provide pilot commercial operation of the relevant defense industry products.
6. Roskosmos must submit proposals for the implementation of the "Space Medicine" and "Space Energy" projects to the board of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation, and Rosatom, together with the Ministry of Health of Russia, on the project "Radiation Medicine". The project of nuclear scientists should provide for the creation of mobile (mobile) complexes that provide medical services to the population in hard-to-reach regions of Russia.
7. The Rostec State Corporation must submit proposals to the board of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation on opening regional representative offices and branches of NPO Conversion LLC. The activities of NPO "Conversion" are designed to systematize the process of creating and bringing to the market new samples of high-tech products and preparing capacities for their production. Virtually all R&D support instruments in sectoral state programs and system-wide import substitution mechanisms work to solve this problem.
Diversification infrastructure
The accelerated development of the Diversification Strategy-2030 is associated with already declining federal budget spending. The share of expenditures under the National Defense section was 3.1% in 2017, 2.8% is planned in 2018, 2.7% in 2019 and 2.5% in 2020. By the way, at the end of 2017, GDP at current prices amounted to 92 trillion rubles.
The share of high-tech civilian and dual-use products (hereinafter referred to as CPG and PDN) in the total volume of defense industry products: 17% by 2020, 30% by 2025 and 50% by 2030 was established by order of the President of Russia dated December 5, 2016 No. Pr- 2346. According to preliminary estimates, the 2020 target has already been reached, at 17.2%.
Pursuant to the lists of instructions of the President Russian Federation dated September 23, 2016 No. Pr-1845, dated December 5, 2016 No. Pr-2346 (subparagraph "g" of paragraph 1), on measures to use the potential of the defense industry for the production of PGN and PDN by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia together with interested federal executive authorities and development institutions are forming a system of financial support tools for projects to diversify the production of defense industry organizations and promote such products to domestic and foreign markets. The key tools created include:
1) on the basis of the state information system industry (hereinafter referred to as GISP), interactive catalogs of high-tech products, electronic trading floor, a service for collecting data on projects of defense industry organizations;
2) a catalog of civilian products of defense industry enterprises was formed, as of April 25, 2018, 6,811 positions of products of enterprises in various industries were included in the catalog. Of these: 2,609 positions of high-tech PGN and PDN produced by defense industry organizations (“radio-electronic equipment” - 655, “medical equipment” - 452).
3) on a systematic basis, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia holds congress and exhibition events aimed at promoting on the domestic and foreign markets PGN and PDN produced by defense industry enterprises;
4) a number of organizations responsible for the diversification process have been identified:
established commercial organization, specializing in the promotion of domestic and foreign markets PGN and PDN - LLC NPO Conversion (a joint venture between the State Corporation Rostec and Vnesheconombank). In addition to linking supply and demand, the activities of NPO Conversion are focused on introducing the principles of project management, opening centers of competence and comprehensive analytical support for defense organizations;
By order of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia dated February 2, 2017 No. 293, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Central Research Institute" Center "was determined by the organization that performs the functions of a center of competence for information and analytical support for solving the problems of diversification and development of the production of high-tech PGN and PDN by defense industry organizations - the Center for Diversification of Defense Industry Organizations.
To create optimal conditions for diversification, the State Corporation Roscosmos, as part of JSC United Rocket and Space Corporation, created the Diversification Center - a single coordinator for the creation and promotion of non-core high-tech civilian products to the domestic and foreign markets.
5) The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, together with the State Corporation "Rostec", ANO "Corporate Network Academy", the Industrial Development Fund, the Fund for Support of Research and Design Activities of Students, Postgraduates and Young Scientists "National Intellectual Development" ("Innopraktika") organized work on the implementation educational program in the format of a competition among technology entrepreneurs in the defense industry. The competition is aimed at developing the competencies of defense industry organizations to promote and increase demand for high-tech civilian products.

One of the key issues of the forum will be the promotion of civilian products of defense industry enterprises.
The need to increase the share of high-tech civilian and dual-use products in the production of enterprises of the military-industrial complex (DIC) to a level of at least 50% by 2030 was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin in his message to the Federal Assembly at the end of 2016. According to the list of instructions for the implementation of the President's message, published on the Kremlin website, by 2020, the share of civilian products in the defense industry should be at least 17%, by 2025 - at least 30%, by 2030 - at least 50%. The President noted that the time has come "to aim the industry at the creation of modern, competitive civilian products for medicine, energy, aviation, shipbuilding, space, and other high-tech industries."
Adaptation to the market
Diversification of the production of the military-industrial complex has become the only way for many Russian military enterprises to survive in the face of an inevitable reduction in the volume of state defense orders. But the current diversification should not repeat the mistakes of the 90s, when all defense enterprises rushed to the production of fairly simple consumer goods. Even the rocket factory was then called a pot factory.
Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about "smart conversion" more than once.
It should be taken into account that the situation for defense enterprises is becoming more complicated today because Russia will have basically completed the re-equipment of the army and navy by 2020, and this, in turn, will lead to a reduction in the state defense order. Therefore, today the state has created a complete toolkit to support diversification projects. Are there any difficulties? Yes, sure.
“Now the main pool of the Ministry of Industry and Trade includes more than 170 projects to diversify the defense industry, planned for implementation in the next four to five years. Only from Rostec, Rosatom and Roskosmos we received more than 110 specific project proposals related to the production of civilian products,” Denis Manturov, Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, said in early November.
However, many heads of defense industry organizations still do not know what to produce, they lack marketers, technologies for the production of civilian products, they lack production staff and, importantly, there is no money for modernization. It would seem that the problems are unsolvable, especially since defense industry enterprises have never thought about "citizen" before.
In the summer of 2017, the NPO Konversiya (a joint structure of Rostec and Vnesheconombank) was created to help defense industry workers who do not have experience in civilian areas.
Another significant help for the defense industry this year was the new special program of the Industrial Development Fund with the same name - "Conversion". “Its participants get access to cheap and long money. The main parameters of the program are preferential loans from 200 to 750 million rubles for up to five years with an interest rate of 1% in the first three years of the loan and 5% for the remaining period. The target volume of sales of new products is at least 50% of the loan amount per year, starting from the second year of mass production. Only enterprises included in the register of defense industry organizations can participate in the program,” Denis Manturov noted.
But today we can already say that the country has examples of successful organizational transformation and adaptation of an enterprise for the production of civilian products: the Shvabe, Kalashnikov and Radioelectronic Technologies concerns, as well as the Almaz-Antey enterprise.
Besides in Russia today there is also a positive experience of separating the civilian direction into a separate division . For example, the Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company, which manufactures Sukhoi Superjet aircraft and is part of the United Aircraft Corporation.
And here are the first serious results.
"Kalashnikov" will also master dry cargo ships
Arms Concern "Kalashnikov" decided to engage in cargo transportation of grain: for this the company will build eight dry cargo ships and create its own operator - the Volga-Don Shipping Company , as detailed by RIA Novosti.
To implement the idea, Kalashnikov and Delta-Agro OJSC (an agro-industrial company in the Volgograd region) create the Volga-Don Shipping Company (VDSK), dry cargo ships of which will carry out up to 160 voyages a year and transport up to 900 thousand tons of grain and crops .
A good moment has been chosen for the construction of new dry-cargo ships: in the region, the average age of ships is 35-40 years, the decommissioning of old ones is faster than the appearance of new ones.
According to experts, there is a shortage of river-sea fleet on the market, so the construction of new river-sea vessels will simplify logistics. The state is pursuing a policy for the development of inland waterways, projects for two hydroelectric facilities are planned to be completed by 2021, which practically coincides with the dates of the Kalashnikov.
At the same time, the Kalashnikov concern does not need the services of NPO Conversion, says Vasily Brovko, Director for Special Assignments of Rostec. “The concern will continue to develop innovative products: electric motorcycles, civilian boats, drones, anti-drones, and so on. But, unfortunately, most enterprises do not have such energy, competencies, and money,” said the top manager of Rostec.
The ratio of military and civilian products today at Kalashnikov is 80/20, but the company expects to increase the share of civilian products to 50% in the next five years and bring EBITDA to 7 billion rubles, the concern's CEO Alexei Krivoruchko told TASS.
The most popular products for export from Kalashnikov are Saiga and Tiger carbines, which are supplied to the CIS countries, Pakistan, and Indonesia. Thus, the Saiga-12 isp.030 gun was supplied to the National Administration for Combating Illicit Drug Traffic in Indonesia. And the Belarusian Biathlon School buys BI-7-4 rifles. At the same time, the concern produces about 500-600 biathlon rifles per year, the main deliveries are made to Russian sports schools, although in terms of quality and reliability, they say in the concern, they are in no way inferior to the German Anschutz rifles - popular among the world's leading biathletes.
"Almaz-Antey" will be engaged in radio technical support of flights and air navigation services
Almaz-Antey will present in St. Petersburg in December Hi-tech civil application in the field of telecommunications. On December 4, 2017, within the framework of the panel session "Development of telecommunication technologies in the Arctic zone", representatives of the concern will present solution for organizing digital television broadcasting in hard-to-reach and Arctic regions . Within the framework of the working session, it is planned to exchange views on the most important aspects public policy in the field of telecommunications development in high latitudes.
As the main manufacturer and system integrator of equipment for unified system air traffic management Concern VKO "Almaz-Antey" at the forum site will present advanced developments in the field of radio-technical flight support and air navigation services.
By the way, the Almaz-Antey East Kazakhstan concern has already equipped a new airport in Rostov-on-Don, called Platov, with equipment, as detailed by the Eye of the Planet. Within the framework of this project, JSC Concern VKO Almaz-Antey was the general contractor for the system integration of the entire complex of surveillance, navigation, communication and airport control facilities, as well as the supplier of equipment for equipping the airport with complexes and facilities for monitoring air traffic in the airport area, monitoring and control over the movement of ground facilities and aircraft on the surface of the aerodrome. In addition, the Concern equipped the new facility with communication and meteorological support equipment for civil aviation flights.
Recall that the Almaz-Antey VKO concern is the main manufacturer and system integrator of the air traffic management system of the Russian Federation. The Concern created the conditions for ensuring maximum flight safety and efficient use of airspace during the APEC summit in Vladivostok, the World Summer Universiade in Kazan and the Olympic Games in Sochi. In November this year, the concern took part in the Dubai Airshow 2017 International Aviation and Space Exhibition, where it presented models of anti-aircraft missile systems (AAMS) and complexes of various ranges, radar stations (RLS) for monitoring airspace, as well as a full-scale model of a radar station protection of objects.
All major air traffic control centers in the country, including one of the largest in Europe, the Moscow Center, are equipped mainly with the Concern's equipment. The enterprises that are part of the Concern have supplied and implemented hundreds of radar equipment and systems both in Russia and abroad, as well as equipped with surveillance, communication and automation equipment whole line air traffic control centers.
Shvabe has developed high-frequency mirrors
The Shvabe holding (part of Rostec. - site) produces optical and laser devices: from sights for hunters to traffic lights and microscopes, telescopes and equipment for observatories. The holding's products are in demand in 95 countries around the world. In addition, Shvabe produces medical equipment, including for newborns. For example, Shvabe incubators save the lives of children in Indonesia.
The main activities of Shvabe are the development and mass production of optical and laser systems and complexes, modern optical materials and technologies, machine tool building, high-tech medical equipment, photodetectors, aerospace monitoring systems and remote sensing of the Earth, devices for scientific research, energy-saving lighting technology, nanomechanics, as well as other high-tech products. The range of products manufactured by the Holding exceeds 6500 units.
And now the Shvabe holding has developed and manufactured a unique system for adapting high-precision mirrors with a diameter of up to 1100 mm. The novelty is currently successfully used in the production of civil and special products for optoelectronic ground and space-based systems.
prospects
On the prospects for the development of the defense industry in Russia, in June this year, an article was published by RT journalist Alexei Zakvasin, where the author explained in detail and reasonedly how and why the defense industry will adapt to the realities of the market.
In an interview with RT, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, said that the huge potential for the conversion of the defense industry is concentrated in radio electronics. In 2020, the volume of growth in the output of such products should increase by 3.7 times, and in the aviation segment - by half.
And Minister of Health Veronika Skvortsova believes that the defense industry has great opportunities in the medical devices market. As of September 2016, the share of the defense industry in this market was only 1.3%. The head of the Ministry of Health is convinced that defense companies can meet the needs of medicine in domestic equipment.
“According to our calculations, in three years, by 2020, defense industry enterprises could have at least twice - up to 15% of the Russian part of the market, that is, 6% of the entire medical device market. This is the minimum,” Skvortsova said at a meeting chaired by the head of state last year.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade sees the road construction equipment market as another promising direction for defense industry enterprises, in the key segments of which - excavators, bulldozers, loaders - the share of imports now exceeds 85%. Kovrov Electromechanical Plant, for example, has developed a sample of a backhoe loader with remote control. The project was supported by the Industrial Development Fund, and KEMZ sets itself a very ambitious goal - to take up to 10% of the domestic market for this equipment by 2020.
In general, the Ministry of Industry and Trade records an increase in demand for Russian dual-purpose and civilian products, share of exported products of the defense industry this moment exceeds 12% . Among the most promising macro-regions for cooperation in this area, the Ministry of Industry and Trade singles out the Middle East and, in particular, Saudi Arabia. " Russian enterprises The defense industry is ready to supply competitive products in the fields of power engineering (from pipeline valves to steam boilers), automotive and transport engineering, and the medical industry. One of the most promising directions export deliveries to Saudi Arabia - radio electronics and telecommunications equipment. In these areas, Russian defense enterprises have unique competencies and can offer our partners a whole range of innovative solutions,” Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov told TASS.
It remains to be added that the Made in Russia International Export Forum has been held since 2012 and has become a significant event for the professional community. The event traditionally brings together government officials, market participants, experts and analysts, drawing the attention of the general public to the development of non-resource exports and the search for effective ways to solve existing economic problems.
In the military-industrial complex (DIC), the Russian Federation has tripled, and this is a real record among the sectors of the domestic economy,” said Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin at the congress of the Russian Engineering Union. Such an impressive increase in labor productivity can be explained by the annual growth in funding for the state defense order from only 300 billion rubles in 2007 to 1.8-1.9 trillion in 2014-2015. However, it is no longer worth waiting for a new increase in productivity - funding for the defense order will begin to decline from 2018.
Putin is already offering the defense industry to start diversifying production: “The peak load on the defense industry under the state defense order will occur in 2017 and then it will gradually decrease. I hope that defense enterprises will use the accumulated potential for conversion and diversification of production. We need to think about this today and take the necessary steps for this,” the President said. He is confident that the defense industry can launch the production of competitive high-tech civilian products. “The volume of the state defense order will not be eternal, as large as it is today. And there is already a slight decrease, although we have not yet felt this for our corporation,” said Sergey Chemezov, head of the Rostec corporation.
The question is what kind of civilian products our military-industrial complex can master. In the early 90s, there was already one unsuccessful conversion attempt. Military-industrial complex enterprises then realized that the problem of switching to civilian products was not at all production facilities and not qualified personnel, but in the experience of forming and satisfying market demand and necessary investments. However, Dmitry Rogozin is confident that the defense industry will cope: “We requested information from customs. We have seen how much money we spend on the purchase of medical equipment abroad. This is unacceptable either economically or politically. Defenders and machine builders are ready to do it all themselves. Creation of the Institute of General Designers and General Technologists will be a powerful help in answering all difficult questions.”
Ivan Andrievsky, First Vice President of the Russian Union of Engineers, believes that the transition of the defense industry to the production of civilian products, on the contrary, can become a new incentive for the development of defense products of the future: “It is likely that in the future the need for military equipment and weapons in developed and developing countries will to decline following the development of public institutions, market economy. There will be a demand for smart, high-precision, autonomous weapons. And if half a century ago, military developments caused the emergence of the Internet and computers, then why not assume that today's mass market for civilian consumer electronics with the advent of Big Data will not completely change the military developments of the future.
The Made in Russia forum discussed the readiness of defense industry enterprises to fulfill the task set by Vladimir Putin to carry out a “smart conversion” of military production. In particular, the governor of the Ryazan region spoke about the potential of the region's defense industry, and experts cited successful examples diversification of defense enterprises.
At the fifth international forum "Made in Russia" in Moscow, organized by the Russian Export Center, experts discussed the readiness of defense industry enterprises to export civilian products.
The governor of the Ryazan region, Nikolai Lyubimov, notes that President Vladimir Putin has set an extremely important task- The share of production of high-tech civilian products by defense industry enterprises should be increased to 50% by 2030.
“This task must be done. The potential of the defense industry should be more actively used in the production of high-tech civilian products. This year, the growth of industrial production in the region amounted to 6.5%. And we assume that the rise in defense output, which we are seeing now, will be transformed into the production of civilian products in the coming years. The range of products produced can be as wide as possible. The main thing is that it should be innovative and export-oriented. The regional government is ready to provide organizational support in this work,” said Nikolay Lyubimov.
According to him, for the purpose of modernization and technical re-equipment, enterprises of the region's defense industry have attracted 9.2 billion rubles of investments over the previous three years. The share of civilian products in the total volume of production of defense industry enterprises in the Ryazan region is now less than 4%. However, at all enterprises of the region's defense industry, work is underway to expand the share of output of high-tech civilian products.
“Of the priority areas for the development of civil products, the most promising is the development and production of charging stations, high-performance welding equipment, medical equipment, optical data lines, communications equipment, information display devices, equipment control and diagnostic devices, maintenance and routine maintenance on commercial aviation transport and more,” says Lyubimov.According to the governor, by the end of 2017, an industrial development fund will be created in the Ryazan region, which will provide financial support to projects for the modernization and creation of new industries for the production of high-tech and innovative products.
The structure of the fund will include a Competence Center in the field of increasing labor productivity, a Cluster Development Center, and an engineering center.
“The Center for Lean Production has already been created and started working. A draft regional program for increasing labor productivity and promoting employment has been developed and is being approved by the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, and a regional export standard has been introduced. In 2018, it is planned to create an industrial park on an area of more than 512 hectares, to create an innovative scientific and technological center for the development and implementation of promising IT technologies,” says Nikolai Lyubimov, Governor of the Ryazan Region.
“Any large defense company solves the task set by Putin to make sure that 50% are military orders, and 50% are civilian orders. But we must forget about the word "conversion" from the series of Gorbachev's perestroika. We are talking about product diversification. And this does not mean the release of pots instead of tanks, as they did under Gorbachev. Then they simply closed the military workshops, - says Igor Korotchenko, a member of the Public Council under the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. - Now the existing competencies in the field of the defense industry will be used for the production of high-tech civilian products and dual-use along with the military. This is not about the simplification of the defense industry, but about using its potential for the production of world-class civilian products that have a good export potential.”
As an example, he cites the United Aircraft Corporation, whose enterprises produce both military and civil aircraft. In particular, the innovative liner MS-21 is being tested, and the Sukhoi Superjet-100 aircraft are being mass-produced. Concern "Almaz-Antey" also produces civilian products in addition to the production of anti-aircraft missile systems. This includes equipment for digital television and an air traffic control system. Almaz-Antey is engaged in additive technologies (3D printing), produces various locators, navigation and meteorological observation tools, radar equipment for airfields, equipment for transport.
Shvabe holding has succeeded in the production of medical equipment. Deliveries of medical equipment for perinatal centers are growing by leaps and bounds: from 113 million rubles in 2015 to 1.13 billion rubles in 2016. Shvabe already occupies 50% of the domestic neonatal equipment market. And what is important - the medical equipment of the holding, including for newborns, is recognized by the world community and is exported to many countries of the world. Incubators from Shvabe, for example, are exported to Indonesia - Russian ultra-modern equipment saves the lives of children.
In addition, Shvabe produces optical and laser devices, from sights for hunters, traffic lights to microscopes, telescopes and large-sized optics for observatories. According to the company, its products are in demand in 95 countries, and optics are installed in telescopes around the world, including the US and Western Europe.
Newspaper VZGLYAD, what is conversion in the defense industry on the example of other countries, and what needs to be done so that modern diversification does not suffer the fate of the failed conversion of the 1980s.
