Krylov Shipbuilding Research Institute
BUSINESS LINES
Today, the Krylov Institute is the principal scientific
institution of the national shipbuilding industry and has a status of
the Russian Federation State Research Centre for naval commercial ships.
This status comes due to both the high qualifications of the staff researchers
and experts who have established their own world-recognised schools
of learning and the unique complement of experimental facilities combined
with innovative in-house research methods and tools. Actually, the Krylov
Institute has all key experimental facilities relevant for the following
aspects of the marine technologies:
Naval ship conceptual
design studies
(trend prediction, future programme planning, methods for military/economic
efficiency evaluations, shipbuilding industry technical/economical
evaluations, etc.)
Structural
mechanics
(static and dynamic strengths of ship structures, marine equipment
and machinery strength, structural protections and armouring, shock
and vibration endurance)
Stealth technologies
for low-signature ship design
(calculation, measurement and control methods for magnetic, electric,
extreme-low-frequency electromagnetic, radar, infra-red, laser and hydrophysical signatures), electromagnetic compatibility, protection of personnel from harmful effects of physical fields, ecological monitoring and engineering surveys.
Practical design,
including construction documents, for commercial vessels, naval auxiliaries
and offshore structures
The actual R&D potential of the Krylov Institute (experimental
facilities and research personnel) is unique and the sole one available
in Russia. Just this reason alone is enough to explain why it has never
been, is or will be possible to produce a surface ship, a submarine
and any other sophisticated marine engineering product without involving
this or other capability of the Krylov Institute
