SAMI Announces Science and Technology Award Winners for 2018

State Authority for Military Industry of the Republic of Belarus (SAMI) announced science and technology award winners for 2018 on the eve of the Day of Belarusian Science.
Companies that are part of SAMI featured their best products in this competition.
The competent commission of State Authority for Military Industry announced the winners in four nominations.
According to the results of the competition, certificates were awarded to:
AGAT – Control Systems JSC – Managing Company of Geoinformation Control Systems Holding for the R-414MBRP radio relay station, which won in the nomination “The best military and special equipment solution”
Scientific Production Unitary Enterprise ATOMTEX for the development, production and certification of AT1121/AT1123, AT1117M radiation dosimeters to increase exports, which won in the nomination “The best export solution”
Computer Research Institute NIIEVM JSC for the development of an environment-proofed small-sized hardware and software package with communications and navigation for individual use in severe operating conditions, which won in the nomination “The best project in the field of advanced production methods, resource saving technologies”
Minsk Research Instrument-Making Institute JSC (MNIPI) for the development and serial production of ITs-2006, ITs-2006/1, PRTTs-2007 mobile information centres, which won in the nomination “Other products”
The tablet personal computer VM2306 developed by Computer Research Institute NIIEVM is an environment-proofed small-sized hardware and software package with communications and navigation for individual use in severe operating conditions. This product is highly competitive and has significantly improved specifications and performance in terms of climatic and mechanical effects (it ensures effectiveness after the exposure to the maximum temperature from minus 40 to plus 75 degrees Celsius, repeated mechanical shocks of acceleration pulse of 5 ms, precipitation with intensity (5 ± 2 mm/min, static and dynamic dust, etc.). The company ensures warranty and post-warranty repair and maintenance, serial production for a long time (not less than 10–15 years) without changing the design documents.
The tablet personal computer VM2306 was developed under the Soldier - Combat Systems project. This product is designed for the use as an individual means of data collection, processing and display in extreme conditions where computing speed is required. The VM2306 is equipped with a GPS//ASS-receiver and an electronic compass. The inbuilt rechargeable battery provides it to work offline for up to 4 hours.
The tablet personal computer VM2306 is produced using processor modules of the COMe Mimi format. A system carrier board was developed for the application of these modules to increase the lifetime and reduce the product cost, simplify modernisation.
From 2006 to 2016, ATOMTEX and MNIPI became winners of the competition for awarding the prize of State Authority for Military Industry in the field of science and technology in various categories.
The AT1121 and AT1123 wide-range monoblock X-ray and gamma radiation dosimeters measure continuous and pulse radiation. The AT1117M portable multi-purpose radiation dosimeter with the expanded set of units is used for detecting continuous alpha-, beta-, gamma-, X-ray and neutron radiation.
The AT1117M advanced portable multi-purpose radiation dosimeter features 20 external (remote) sensors of ionising radiation of various types, different ranges of intensities and radiation energies. The product is designed for all areas of application related to the dosimetric and radiometric monitoring of the radiation situation on the ground, at facilities, in workplaces, etc.
A feature of the AT1121 and AT1123 wide-range monoblock X-ray and gamma radiation dosimeters is their ability to measure pulse radiation from medical X-ray units and electron accelerators in radiotherapy, from flaw-detective units in industry, from pulse nuclear units in research, as well as to measure deceleration radiation of linear accelerators which are widely used by uniformed and security services. Due to its high sensitivity and features, this advanced radiation monitoring equipment is unrivaled throughout the world.
In 2018, apart from the Republic of Belarus, these products were delivered to customers from the UK, China, the UAE, Russia, France and other countries for the use in order to ensure radiation safety.
The R-414MBRP digital mobile radio relay station is developed within the framework of the R&D project in the interests of the Defence Ministry. The product features modern digital components, mainly Belarusian-made ones. The R-414MBRP is designed to establish radio relay and cable (wire and fibre-optic) digital communication lines of the field reference network, as well as to make bridged taps between communication centres of military mobile command posts and public telecom networks.
Such products for information warfare were manufactured by MNIPI in the post-Soviet area for the first time.
ITs-2006 and ITs-2006/1 mobile information centres, PRTTs-2007 mobile broadcasting centre have been developed and produced by MNIPI. The mobile information centres have up-to-date equipment, a wide range of functional capabilities to carry out ideological activity, to apply new technologies, to improve methods of confrontation, to use the capabilities of the Internet, terrestrial and satellite television and radio broadcasting, communications in combat units of the Belarusian Armed Forces.
The scientific novelty of the products is the development of out-of-the-box and unique design solutions for the main components that determine their specifications and performance.
The equipment was repeatedly tested during various exercises. The military products confirmed their capabilities.
