ABSTRACT
Fryazino Scientific Research Institute and Plant 160 is one of the major electronic
research, development, and production complexes in the USSR. The complex consists of 20
major structures, 30 smaller buildings, and 23 utility buildings. An associated area
adjacent to the main facility contains five major buildings and 15 smaller buildings. The
complex and the associated area are enclosed by a security fence/wall with road and rail
entrances.
This report provides a basic description, a chronology, an annotated photograph, a line
drawing, and mensural data on the installation.
INTRODUCTION
Fryazino Scientific Research Institute and Plant 160 (Figure 1) is located on the
northern edge of Fryazino, approximately 12 nautical miles (nm) northeast of Moscow.
Moscow/Shchelkovo Airfiel is located approximately 4.5 nm to the south.
The institute incorporates an area of 314 acres and is a combined production and
research facility. It is probably responsible for the design and development of electronic
tubes and instruments applicable to commercial, military, and scientific programs. The
institute is probably subordinate to the Ministry of the Radio Technical Industry and is one
of the major electronic research, development, and production complexes in the USSR.

BASIC DESCRIPTION
The Fryazino institute (Figures 2 and 3) comprises three functional areas (Areas I
through III) and an associated area (Area IV). Area I contains the institute buildings first
25X1 D observed in KEYHOLE photography of including facilities such as
administration and laboratory buildings, warehouses, shop buildings, and numerous utility
buildings. Area II contains engineering buildings with several small ancillary buildings.
25X1 D Area III contains a possible test facility which occupies a large rectangular area in the
25X1 D northeastern section of the complex. This facility consists of a section of the trac,
25X1 D utility-type buildings are located along the three sections of track. A test tower
25X1 D I uis evident in the center of the test area. Although the precise function of this
facility has not been determined, it could be used for electronic testing of systems
developed or produced at the institute.
Area IV is located on the east side of the complex. The function of this separately
secured area is undetermined, but its location suggests a relationship with the institute.
This area covers approximately 91 acres and contains one administration building, four
laboratories, three shop buildings, one assembly building, six warehouses, and five utility
structures.
Chronology
According to collateral information, the institute originated in 1946. It was built on a
site previously occupied by a textile mill and a POW camp. The mill, remodeled in 1945-46
by POWs, served as the initial electronics laboratory of the institute complex.'

the Fryazino institute included four assembly buildings, at least two shop
buildings, three warehouses, an administration building, at least three laboratory
buildings, and numerous utility structures. The associated area (Area IV) consisted of four
completed buildings, a laboratory, two warehouses, and a utility building.
New construction consisted of a large assembly/engineering building (item 29, Figure 2)
and a utility building (item 48) in Area I, and two engineering buildings (items 2 and 3) in
Area II. In Area IV, construction had progressed very rapidly. The buildings constructed
during this time consisted of two laboratories (items 81 and 86), the administration
building (item 91), the assembly building (item 89), two warehouses (items 78 and 79), one
shop building (item 74), and three utility buildings (items 82-84).
Construction in Area I was limited during this time; two warehouses (items 30 and 31)
were under construction in the west corner. A security fence/wall was erected around Area
II, linking it with. Areas I and II. Construction was begun on the test tower located near the
center of the possible electronics facility in Area III. In Area IV, a laboratory (item 75), a
warehouse (item 76), and a utility building (item 80) were completed.

Transportation services at the institute are excellent. A series of all-weather roads
encompasses the complex and provides passage to and from the institute through six
control points. The complex is also served by a spur of the electrified Moscow-Yaroslavl rail
line which enters the institute at two points. The Moscow/Shchelkovo Airfield is probably
the main airshipment center for the facility. The institute also includes a motor pool (item
71) located in the southern corner of the complex.
A separately secured transformer yard at the western edge of the institute probably
serves as a power source for the complex. The yard consists of a low and a high voltage area
and four control buildings.
The institute is secured by a fence/wall. Access is provided by five secured road
entrances and two secured rail entrances. Guard towers are not observed.
