The development of the capacities of "Constellation" in the Voronezh region is of great importance. These are not only new vacancies and tax revenues, but also a significant strengthening of the industrial potential of the region, "said Voronezh Governor Alexander Gusev.

The head of the concern, Sergei Pankov, noted that Sozvezdiye, a major developer and manufacturer of communication systems, electronic warfare and special equipment for power structures, plans to produce civil and defense radio electronics at the new enterprise. In particular, the company is the main participant in the creation of a unified tactical link control system (ESU TZ) for the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

According to industrial expert Leonid Khazanov, demand for radio electronics in Russia remains high, despite the departure of foreign companies. Innovative means of communication are required by both civilian industries and the defense sector. Therefore, the Constellation project seems very relevant and promising.^[1]

2023

Increase in production capacity due to domestic equipment

Concern Sozvezdiye of the Roselectronics holding (part of the Rostec State Corporation) has completed the commissioning of domestic multifunctional processing centers at the radio electronic equipment factory. The modernization of production will increase the power for turning works by 50% and by 40% for milling. This was announced by Roselectronics on October 11, 2023.

Milling and turning machining centers have already been put into operation and are involved in the execution of the factory production plan. The equipment was supplied by one of the plants for the production of numerical program control (CNC) machines.

The Constellation radio electronic equipment factory is a high-tech closed-cycle production complex. It manufactures components and ready-made complex radio-electronic products of civil and special purpose.

Concern "Constellation" is one of the suppliers of complexes, systems and means of communication for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. In the context of a sharply increased volume of state defense orders, we fully felt the need to promptly respond to customer requests and increase production capacity. The commissioning of technological equipment will reduce time costs in certain areas and increase productivity. It is expected that due to the program of measures to increase the production capacity of the factory, including the modernization of the machine park, by the end of 2023, production growth will exceed 30% compared to the same period in 2022, - said Vyacheslav Saeshnikov, director of the Radio Electronic Equipment Factory of the Sozvezdiye Concern.

The factory of radioelectronic equipment carries out milling, turning, press work, grinding, laser and hydroabrasive cutting, heat treatment, stamping, plating, installation of a cable network, assembly and installation of radioelectronic equipment, as well as its installation in mobile bases.

Plan to increase the production of radioelectronic equipment by 30%

Concern Sozvezdiye of the Roselektronika holding (part of the Rostec State Corporation) is increasing the production capacity of the radio electronic equipment factory due to the increased demand for products within the framework of the state defense order and import substitution. This will increase the production of products by 33% by the end of 2023. Roselectronics announced this on April 7, 2023.

To expand the production of the radio electronic equipment factory, the Sozvezdiye Concern increases the fleet of equipment by installing multifunctional milling and turning machining centers. This will increase the volume of production of products, ensure high quality of products and timely delivery.

In the "Constellation" programs are being implemented to expand production capacities, dictated by the increased needs of the country's defense complex. Already in the first quarter of 2023, the production volumes of our factory increased by 27% compared to the same indicator in 2022. The equipment produced will make it possible to carry out work even more efficiently and in a shorter time, "said Sergei Pankov, General Director of the Sozvezdiye Concern management organization.
