NNIIRT
The Nizhny Novgorod Research Institute of Radio Engineering (NNIIRT) is a Russian electronics company specializing in the development and manufacturing of radar equipment. It is a subsidiary of the Almaz-Antey group.
History
Founded in 1947, NNII ...
, this design bureau focused on higher frequency radars like the
P-20,
P-30, P-30M,
P-35, P-32D2 and the
P-50 (
NATO: E/F-bands). These radars have better accuracy and faster scan rates, and are thus more suited for ground control of fighter aircraft, which complement the lower frequency radars developed by the NNIIRT design bureau.
NNIDAR has in recent years expanded their product range to include innovative radar designs like the Podsolnukh-E over-the-horizon (OTH) surface-wave radar and the
29B6 Konteyner. The latter, while also being an OTH-radar, has separate locations for the transmitter and the receiver making it a
bi-static system.
