JSC V.V. Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design (Russian: ОАО «Научно-исследовательский институт приборостроения имени В.В.Тихомирова», Russian: НИИП, NIIP) is a joint stock company, one of the Russian enterprises in the development of weaponry control systems for fighter planes and mobile medium range anti-aircraft SAM defence vehicles.

History

The institute was created on March 1, 1955 as a branch of the Moscow NII-17 by the Ministry of Aircraft Industry of the USSR Council of Ministers (Resolution No. 2436-1005, September 18, 1954). In February 1956, the NII-17 branch was reorganized into an independent enterprise known as Scientific Research Institute for Instrumentation, or NIIP. In 1994 the institute was named after his first CEO Viktor Tikhomirov.[1]

At present, NIIP is an enterprise with an industrial and economic infrastructure.[citation needed] The area occupied by the Institute is 42000 square meters.[citation needed]
