Vektor State Enterprise produces military electronics including missile-related guidance systems and radars. In the 1990s it was developing conversion products including medical, agricultural, and telecommunications equipment.[1]
It was organized in 1941 on the basis of the Moscow Geodesy plant evacuated to Sverdlovsk.
At first it was called plant No. 356, in 1966-1992 — Sverdlovsk Plant of Electroautomatics.
In 2002, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Vector, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation and the decision of the Ministry of State Property Management of the Sverdlovsk Region, was transformed into JSC Ural Production Enterprise Vector, 100% of whose shares remained state-owned.
For 15 years, Vector has been a monopolist in the production of domestic electric musical instruments and sound amplification equipment.
The company was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor in 1966 for the successes achieved in completing the tasks of the seven-year-old.
