The paper presents the information on the design concept of the motion control and navigation system for the International Space Station (ISS) made up of two systems: Russian and American.
The experience gained from the development of the Russian Mir and American Spacelab projects was widely used in designing control systems, however the construction of the integrated system that consists of two synchronously and parallel operating systems is radically new. This approach made possible higher qualities in reliability and improved fault tolerance of the control system.
The structure of control modes, and integrated system structure, is described, some technical data concerning the equipment of the control systems in the Russian section of the ISS is presented.

Presented are the results of collaborative work conducted by the FSUE
Command Devices Research Institute, FSUE All-Russian Institute of Aviation Materials, Public Corporation All-Russian Aluminium-Magnesium Institute, Public Corporation Volgograd Aluminium, Public Corporation Kamensk-Uralsky Metallurgical Works and some other enterprises on the development of high-siliceous aluminium-based powdered alloys with properties similar to those of beryllium. The materials developed have unique physical and mechanical properties required for up-to-date precision gyroscopic devices: low density; high ruggedness and high conditional relaxation limit; a linear expansion factor that allows them to be used with steels; good machinability that provides high surface quality of gyro component parts. Also discussed are the results of the development of gyroscopic devices for rocket and space technology with the use of these materials

Over the last twenty years the fiber-optic gyroscope (FOG) has evolved from a pioneering physics experiment to a practical device. Because their operational principle for sensing inertial rotation is not mechanical, but optical, FOGs are inherently quick to start, resistant to shock and vibration, light, compact and long lived. These caracteristics make them particularly suitable for strapdown attitude and heading reference systems (AHRS) and they are now widely used in gyrocompass systems over the world. Progress in navigation grade FOG performance suggest that they should represent the next generation of rotation sensor for high performances inertial navigation systems (INS). In 2000, Ixsea built the first INS based on fiber-optic gyroscopes. Designed on the first place to meet the very high positioning requirements of marine and underwater applications (typically less than 5 m per hour drift with only velocity aiding) this INS, named PHINS, is now declined in four versions for marine, underwater, land and air applications. PHINS can be used either as an autonomous system or it can integrate external informations based on Kalman filtering to achieve the best performances. We will consider the structure of PHINS navigation algorithm with an emphasis on quality control and integration of specific acoustic sensors used in underwater applications. The performances of the system will be assessed based on several trials.

The paper presents results of developing and an experience of certifying the first Russian independent strap down inertial system (BINS-85) for civil trunk-route and medium-range trunk-route Il-96-300, Tu-204, Tu-334 aircraft and their modified versions. The BINS-85 system is fully compliable with Russian and international requirements to a similar type of equipment in terms of accuracy, availability time, reliability, output data, operation conditions, mass and size characteristics, and power consumption.
To create the BINS-85 system, the institute had to solve a number of scientific and technological problems, connected with the development and bringing its own production laser gyros and quarts accelerometers to the design figure, as well as with the system as a whole. Technological problems are, first of all, connected with the development and introduction of a set of aids for automated adjustment and alignment of the system with an equivalent accuracy of 3 £ 4 arc sec, and aids for implementation of an automated technique for an algorithmic reduction of gyro and accelerometer temperature errors, as well as compensation of relative position of sensitivity axes within the whole desired temperature range. BINS-85 full-scale production started in 2002.
On the basis of BINS-85 a number of modified versions of different applications were developed for sea vessels, aircraft, ground-based vehicles, both independent and integrated with SNS and other aids. These systems are at different development phases: from the pre-production phase to the technical proposal phase.

The paper discusses design of the top-level system of the power unit (TLS-U) for the automated process control system (APCS) of nuclear power station. Structural aspects of TLS-U including hardware and software are discussed. Functions of the TLS-U, including those of monitoring and process control, as well as special functions which are the distinguishing characteristics of the TLS-U, are considered. Methods of software design, including operating system, computer-aided design system, and applied software modules, are discussed. Programming standards and characteristics of the borrowed modules and libraries are presented. The paper lists applications of the system including the APCS's using TLS-U.

It is examined the scientific and technical policy of "Radar mms" JSC directed on intellectual transport systems creation realizing the principles of intellectual control. It is estimated the opportunities of the "Radar mms" products: "ARGS-35", side - looking radar " AISBERG- RAZREZ ", radar for the Ka-137 helicopter and airborne landing radar "Vidimost". The ways of flying robots control are discussed: expert systems working in real time scale, the intellectual systems and expert control systems.
