INTRODUCTION
This report is a study of the chronological develop-
ment of the Ivankovo Guided Missile Plant
56-45N 037-07E), USSR, and is one of a series of
reports on Soviet missile production and test facilities
(Figure 1).
The Ivankovo Guided Missile Plant is located on the
western side of the town of Ivankovo (Podberezye) on the
bank of the IvankovskoYe Vodokhranilishche (Reservoir).
The plant is close to the confluence of the Volga River and
the Moskva Canal. The city of Moskva is located approxi-
mately 60 nautical miles south-southeast of the plant.
The plant covers an area of approximately 3 3,300 b
~ Y
2,700 feet (Figure 2). The majority of the buildings have
been erected on the eastern two thirds of the plant area,
and the western section of the plant has remained wooded.
There are several clearings in the woods, and the location
of small unidentified structures in these areas suggests that
they may be used as test areas. Although the plant is
served by road, and rail transportation is available nearby
on the south side of the Volga River, the prime means of
transportation for the plant are the waterways. A small dock
is located on the west side of the plant, providing easy trans-
portation of materials in and out of the plant. The primary
source of electric power may be the Ivankovo hydropower
plant located south of the Guided Missile Plant. Additional
power and heating requirements are probably supplied by
the powerplant at the installation.
The principal buildings in the plant include a large
assembly-type building, a subassembly building, a power-
plant, a forge/foundry, 2 administration buildings, nu-
merous workshops, and several general support and storage
buildings. A large administration/engineering building and
a new assembly-type building are under construction at the
present time on the east side of the lant. Roof cover in
1942 was computed at Between 1942
and 1962 the roof cover had increased by
feet; between 1962 and 1963, by between
1963 and 1964, by 56,390 square feet; and between 1964 and
1967, by When the buildings now under
construction are completed, the total roof cover for the

The Ivankovo Guided Missile Plant is primarily a re-
search and development installation. It was involved in
seaplane production prior to World War II. During the war,
the production equipment from the plant was evacuated to
the east. At the end of the conflict, German aeronautical
design engineers from aircraft plants in Halle and Dessen,
East Germany, were relocated to this plant. Using German
designs implemented by Soviet engineers, the plant became
involved in research and development of aircraft and mis-
sile systems during the postwar years. Basic designs were
developed and testin s made on the EF 126 a
g (piloted version
of the V-1 rocket), the M 100 (a 2-stage missile), and many
other jet and rocket airframes. 1/ Research and develop-
ment work was also done on fuels engines, and navigational
equipment.
At the present time, the plant is believed to be produc-
ing air-to-surface missiles (ASM). During 1960-61, there
were reports that the Ivankovo plant produced the AS-1
(KENNEL), and later information has indicated an associa-
tion with the Tbilisi Airframe Plant 31 in the production of
the AS-2 (KIPPER) missile system. 2/ It has not been pos-
sible to confirm or deny involvmen
t of the plant in the ASM
program by means of available photography.
HIGHLIGHTS OF
CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT
Photographic coverage of the Ivankovo Guided Mis-
sile Plant has included 35 missions. The early
photography was characterized by poor interpretability that
in many cases precluded the determination of building con-
struction status. Smoke emitted from the stacks of the
steamplant generally obliterated the area north of the large
assembly building. The first coverage of good interpret-
ability was not obtained untilI I
1942
The first available photographic coverage of the Ivan-
kovo Plant was obtained in The plant at this
time was identified by 2 names: the Ivankovo Aircraft Plant
and Experimental Plant No 1, Podberezye. The plant then
consisted of the main final assembly/subassembly build-
ing (item 21, Figure 3), the powerplant (item 40), a
forge/foundry, (item 24), an administration building, 2
workshops, and several small support buildings.
1962
Two decades elapsed before the plant was again ob-
served on overhead photography. Photography of
although of poor interpretability, revealed significant
changes, including the construction of a large new sub-
assembly building (item 14) and the addition to the final
assembly/subassembly building. Several new workshops
and support buildings had been constructed during this pe-
riod. Additions had also been erected on the forge/foundry
and a workshop (item 1). Several small support buildings,

section was observed on the forge/foundry. The powerplant,
previously obscured by smoke, was observed on the photog-
raphy for the first time since 1942, and it was evident that
several new sections had been added to this building. In
addition, 2 workshops and b other small support and storage
