The Research Institute of Steel was established in 1942 as an organization for the development of tank armor. Today, JSC "Research Institute of Steel" is the main enterprise in Russia for materials and structures for the protection of weapons and military equipment of the ground forces, which develops complexes of armor, dynamic, electromagnetic, anti-radiation protection, protection against high-precision weapons by means of reducing visibility. The Institute creates new armor and composite materials, produces a wide range of personal protective equipment: bulletproof vests, helmets, etc. Our products are supplied to many foreign countries.

The main advantage of the Steel Research Institute is its vertically integrated structure, which includes research and development units with a full production cycle. Such integration makes it possible to reduce the time from the beginning of development to the launch of a pilot series of products into operation. And the maximum concentration on competencies, where the institute occupies a leading place, allows you to create technical solutions that are largely ahead of their time and lay the further vector of development of weapons protection complexes. The Institute pays great attention to scientific research, primarily in the field of materials science.
