This is the 2nd part of review about Russian manufacturers of core military electronic components. The 1st part is here.
'Elvees' – is a fab-less electronic chips design house holding the leading position in developing micro-chips, digital signal processors and controllers, for different military, space, domestic security and civilian applications.
The peculiarity of the Elvees-designed microchips distinguishing them from many other competitors are – system-on-crystal (SOC) and net-on-crystal (NOC) high integrity design. There are both regular (scalar) and DSP (vector) processor cores with all needed controller in one chip. The DSP cores have high code-density (8-10 times higher than the main world competitors TI and ADI). So, extremely low specific power consumption (Watts per MFlOPS) and high performance is achieved. Up to 5 vector and scalar cores in one chip is used on current Elvees' production. This leads to very compact and light military communication devices (personally communicators, UAV DSP units and communication units) with long period of autonomic work. The enterprise has its own patented architecture platform 'MultiCore', broadly used on the Russian systems of intellectual vision, radars, sonars, digital TV, spacecrafts, prospective mobile communication standards.
The enterprise was created in 1990 from the famous NPO 'ELAS' design house successfully working in microchip development starting from 60th. It was involved in a number of Soviet military and space programs, like 'Mir' space station control system 'Salyut'.
The Elvees' makes chips for different military and dual-use. The characteristics of the most prominent of them are below further:

- Network chips 'Multicom' for wireless communication
- Spacecraft's chips 'Multibort'
- DSP chips for sonars 'Multisonar'
- DSP chips for radio 'FlexRadio'
- Other specialized systems-on-crystal.

ReplyDeleteNo conventionally accepted classification of missiles generation exist. If you explain me what you mean '5th gen missile', I'll try to answer.
An interesting video related to the topic.

My Russian is pretty basic so maybe Igor can tell us what's being said.
From what I can tell, it's about production of new Galium chips
to TASS:
ReplyDelete1) The technoly is fully Russian for GaN, GaIn at hetero-structure chips, it's more advanced then previousely used GaAs chips.
2) Developed according to Novel price winner Jores Alferov's in San-Petersburg
3) All main machinary is Russian too
4) Now only a limited serial is producing with plan to raise the manufacturing up to hundreds thousand chips in 2012
5) Usefull in radars, atomic industry, space industry.
Thanks Igor
