What Almaz Scientific Industrial Corporation goes by when developing air defence systems is implementa-tion of the latest scientific advances and engineering solutions, introduction of achievements in the area of radar technology, electronics, missile development and informatics. A proof to that are systems that made Russia second to none in the realm of making fully automatic air defence systems. These include S-300P family SAMs, namely FAVORIT and future TRIUMPH SAM systems witch have no rivals in the world.
Almaz has never paused in its scientific research. The enterprise constantly upgrades S-300P-family SAM systems that ensure Russia’s air defence; it improves in-service weapons to enhance their characteristics and extend service life. Almaz creates a long-term technological backlog to improve air defence systems' combat capabilities to make them adaptable for non-strategic Anti-Missile Defence and study the feasibility of developing the fifth generation weaponry.
