MILITARY PRODUCT LINES: Design and development of solid-propellant ICBMs in the former Soviet Union.
CIVIL PRODUCT LINES: This facility-or entities thereof including Yu. S. Solomonov-is developing the START (sometimes referred to as START1) space launch vehicle in conjunction with at least the Houston-based Space Commerce Corporation.

The Votkinsk Machine Building Plant probably produced all of MITT's experimental missile designs. A dynamic test stand manufactured in England was assembled and tested by a German firm before installation at MITT. The computer center at MITT was equipped with several Soviet computers, including at least one SM-1045, one YES-1060, one or more SM-1420 computers, and several older computers equivalent to the SM1420. Fortran, Pascal, and Assembler programming languages were acquired and installed in 1989/90. In 1989, MITT acquired 70 to 100 IBM XT-AT PCs with 3086 microprocessors. Training on the PCs was provided by Soviet-US joint enterprise.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES/EQUIPMENT EMPLOYED: Novocheboksarsk already has technology for destroying conventional and rocket artillery rounds (shells, bombs, and missile warheads) filled with sarin, soman, and VX (organophosphorous toxic chemical agents). The weapons are first of all drilled through, then the toxic agent is "sucked up" through the hole and immediately detoxified. Materials which have undergone reactions are recycled or burned. Lewisite will be used as a raw material for producing pure arsenic for the radioelectronics industry.

GENERAL OVERVIEW: Designed from scratch in the early 1970s to produce a new generation of strategic bombers, the Ulyanovsk Aviation Production Complex (renamed Aviastar in November 1991 when it became a joint stock enterprise run by its workforce) is said to be the largest aviation production facility in the world and is the newest one in Russia. It produces the An-124 long-range heavy transport aircraft (comparable with the U.S. C-5) and the 200-seat Tu-204 medium-range airliner (comparable with the Boeing 757). Ulyanovsk was originally intended to have airframe, avionics, and engine manufacturing facilities all in one complex, but the avionics and engine facilities have not been completed. The plant also owns 40,000 acres of arable land on which it produces agricultural goods for its workers and for sale.

It also has a 5 kilometer, 150 meter wide runway originally built as a reserve landing strip for the Buran space shuttle program.
CONVERSION PROJECTS: Aviastar is developing a lighter-than-air craft incorporating dirgible and aircraft features known as a thermoplane which could be adapted to a wide range of uses including search and rescue, fire-fighting, remote heavy-lift transport, and passenger transportation. It is also exploring ways to convert its An-124 aircraft into super-jumbo aircraft capable of transporting 600-800 passengers. Helicopter production is also under consideration. Aviastar is also considering utilizing its agricultural resources for developing a food processing industry.
HUMAN RESOURCES SUPPORT: Aviastar has built a small city containing housing for 85% of its workers and operates a training center including an institute for aviation engineers, a technical high school for aviation line workers, and a cooperative farm.
