PHYSICAL LAYOUT AND PRODUCTION
AT THE DNEPROPETROVSK MISSILE DEVELOPMENT
AND PRODUCTION CENTER
IN THE USSR
 This research aid is concerned with the physical layout of the
Dnepropetrovsk Missile Development and. Production Center (rDPC), one
of the most important installations in the USSR engaged in research,
development, and production of b listic missiles. The I4DPC probably
is involved in the development a production of the SS-7 ICBM, a second-
generation ICBM that constitutes he backbone of the present Soviet ICBM
force. This research aid provides only a?basic descriptive reference of
the EVDPC, portraying the physical plant as it now stands and as it was
developed to support Soviet ballistic missile programs during the 1950's.
Other reports* cover the history of this facility, its position in the
Soviet ICBM program, and nonmilitary production at this key facility.
Although available information does not permit an accurate estimate of
rates of production; the layout of the facility can provide a probable
flow pattern for fabrication and assembly of missiles and rocket engines
to permit estimates of rates, of production.
Most of the information used in this research aid covers the years
before 1960, and it therefore is recognized that some changes may have
occurred since then. These changes, however, are not believed to have
altered significantly the physical layout or the capability of the
facility.

 PHYSICAL LAYOUT AND PROIXJCTION
AT THE'DNEPROPETROVSK MISSILE IEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION CENTER
S-tumn ry and Conclusions
The examination of all available information indicates that the
Dnepropetrovsk Missile Development and Production Center (DMDPC) in the
USSR has a minimum floorspace of approximately 7.3 million square feet
(sq ft), not including a reported test area. Within this area the USSR
is believed to be currently producing rocket engines, ballistic missiles,
and possibly ground-support equipment for the IR33M and IC134 systems, as
well as Belarus' tractors and pnepr refrigerators. The over-all assess-
ment of the available floorspace ipdicates-that the DMDPC hEks adequate
facilities to carry on all of these activities at volume production rates.
From a number of sources the annual production of both tractors and
refrigerators can be established firmly for the past few years, and rea-
sonable estimates can be made of the floorspace required to, produce
these civilian products. It is probable that the remaining area at the
IIvIDPC is allocated entirely to missile-related production, in some manner
distributed to production or assembly of rocket engines, missiles, and
ground-support equipment. Accordingly, it is estimated that, since 1957,
floorspace in square feet at the L14DPC has been allocated approximately
as follows:
System development and production
of missiles, engines, and ground-
support equipment

*:The estimates and conclusions in this research aid represent the
best'judgment of this Office as of 15 February 1963.
S -E -C -R -E -T
 The area devoted to missile-related activity is considerably more than
that utilized for missile fabrication and assembly at Scientific Re-
search Institute/Plant (NII) No. 88 in Kaliningrad -- the other major
Soviet ballistic missile developmental center which currently is
estimated to have a total roof cover of 2.5 million sq ft.*
With more than 5 million sq ft of floorspace continuously availa-
ble for development and production of missile systems, there seems to
be no doubt that the ]DPC has the capability to produce large quan-
tities of missile airframes and rocket engines. Estimates of actual
monthly rates of production, however, will vary, depending on assump-
tions made for assembly flowtime, number of work shifts, capacity of
the test facilities,-quantities of ground-support equipment produced,
and the proportionate amount of subcontracting that may be-involved
In -a typical Soviet missile program.
Although no specific peak in the capability for production of mis-
siles at the DMDPC Is known, the reported initiation of missile manu-
facture, the.timing of construction of new-facilities at the center,
and Soviet missile requirements all indicate that this center prob-
ably has been a major producer of the Soviet SS-1 SR 4,. the SS-3 and'
SS -4 MRBM's, to SS-5 IRBM, and the second-generation SS-7 ICBM.'
The rates of production for these systems,-when paced to probable
Soviet deployment schedules, appear to be within the capability of
the I*IDPC alon , if the USSR should elect to keep all production at
this facility. It seems more reasonable,. however, to assume that
production of ach system also was phased into other "follow-on"
plants capable of followup volume production. Such a choice would
provide the C with greater flexibility and would allow it to de-
vote a major a fort and a substantial area to fabrication of advanced
developmental ssile systems.
The roof c ver of the t PC is about 5.9 mill-ion sq ft.
The desi tions are those of US intelligence.
 The TMDPC is located in the southern outskirts of the city of Dne-
propetrovsk (48026'N - 31+? 59 E) in the USSR, approximately 7.8 kilo-
meters (1m) from the center of the city, 10 km north-northwest of
Volozhskoye airfield and i. km north-northeast of Krasnopol'ye (see
the location diagram). The EKOPC is divided between two plants, Post
Box No. 186 and Post Box No.

 of Defense Industry as early as 1951 and have since operated as one

It is believed that the two plants, supported by a test area di-
rectly southwest of the complex, operate as a ballistic missiles develop-
ment and production center.
`25X1A
Plant Post Box No. 186 is located in the northern section of
the II4DPC. It is bounded by Rabochaya Ulitsa on the east, by Krugovaya
Ulitsa on the north, and by the local Dnepropetrovsk-Dneprodzerzhinsk
railroad line on the south anc% west. Construction of this installation,
known as the Dnepropetrovsk Automobile Plant (DAZ), was begun in 191+5 (see
the photograph). The announced purpose of this plant was production
 of ZIS-150 trucks. At the time that construction was undertaken, a
Moscow newspaper stated that the total floorspace of the plant shops
on completion would be 4.5 million sq ft. Construction plans published
in 1946 specified the use of a total plant area of approximately
500 acres and the erection of 70 industrial types of buildings (see the
photograph). A section of the plant was scheduled for completion in
1947, and the total area was to be in operation by 1949.
The plant never became an independent producer of trucks. By 1950
the plant was partly completed and was engaged in mounting dump bodies
and cranes on truck chassis shipped from the ZIL plant in Moscow. Late
in 1950 and early in 1951, production related to trucks decreased, and
military personnel madelfrequent visits to the plant. It became obvious
that a major shift in activity was contemplated. Late in 1951 the sub-
ordination of DAZ was shifted to the Ministry of Defense Industry. At
this time the plant included that part of the layout (see Figure 2*)
which is indicated in red. During the next few years the plant, still
commonly known as DAZ, was expanded considerably. An administration
building was built to the north, laboratories. to the east, warehouses
to the south, and assembly buildings to the west, and there are reports
of the plant undertaking production of rocket engines (developed at
Khimki) in the 1951-52 period. Following the death of Stalin in 1953
and the subsequent attention of the new leadership -- notably Khrushchev
on urgent domestic problems, DAZ was among the facilities of the defense
industry that were given the task of undertaking major production of
agricultural machinery, in this case the Belarus' tractor. The plant
expansion of 1952-53 provided suitable facilities for production of the
Belarus' tractor, which began in 1954.
 By 1957 or 1958, additional new construction was in-progress
within DAZ, now designated Post Box No. 186, as.follows: another ad-
ministration building and a large assembly hall to the north; a large
25X1D warehouse to the west- and a laboratory and probable hydrostatic test
tower feet), which was first identified in photography
of 1959 see Figure 1), to the south. There.'have been no reports of
major construction in this section of the complex since the completion
of these buildings.
That part of the L1v3)PC represented by Plant Post Box No. 186
currently is estimated to have at least 5.76 million sq ft of floor-
space. On the basis of a comparison of available photography with
other information, it is possible to determine the general type of
production process involved for most buildings, in this part of the
complex. In general, Plant Post Box No. 186 is engaged-in heavy and
light forging and casting, precision grinding %nd'stamping, experi-
mental and developmental work, and major and. minor assembly. Known /
end products coming from this section of the DMDPC include tractors
and probably missile engines. Inclusion of the latter product is
justified on the basis of collateral reports indicating the manufac-
ture of engines in the Plant Post Box No. 186 area-and-the fact that'
the Post Box No. 192 area was not completed when work on missile en-
gines first began at DAZ in the early 1950's. It is not possible,
however, to determine with confidence which specific buildings or
portions of buildings are assigned to civilian as opposed to military.
production. Likewise, the administrative-organizational relationship
between these two elements is not known.
The Plant Post Box No. 186 part of II4DPC also appears to be the
most reasonable location for the forming and the shaping of raw stock
in support of the fabrication and the final assembly of missile air-
frames that probably takes place in the Plant Post Box No. 192 area.
The probable hydrostatic test .facility in the southeastern section of
the Plant Post Box No. 186 area suggests that the surrounding laboratory
area is concerned with system developmental work.
Plant Post Box No. 192, located immediately south of the Dnepro-
petrovsk-Dneprodzerzhinsk railroad line, also is known as the Dneprope-
trovsk Machine Building Plant. Initial construction activity apparently
took place soon after World War II and was well underway during the
period 1949-51. Informants have stated variously that the plant was to
be fully operational by 1954, 1956, and 1960. It seems evident that
considerable construction was going on at least as recently as 1956.

 The plant was frequently called the "Shinnyy Zavod" (Tire Plant)
and was designed to become an independent supplier of tires for the auto-
mobile plant. From the outset it was known to be affiliated with Plant
Post Box No. 186-. A reported visit by high-ranking military officials
in 1950 suggests that Plant Post Box No. 192 probably became subordinate
to the Ministry of Defense Industry at the same time as Plant Post Box
No. 186 and that the nature of its planned activity was then changed.
Various sources have indicated that some portion of the large
assembly building in this area (Building No. 50, Appendix B*) was in
operation at least by 1955 and reportedly was engaged in missile-related
production. The completion of this building, probably in 1956, ties
in with the belief that the DMDPC undertook fabrication of missiles
sometime in 1956. The size and characteristics of this building and
those in the immediate area, as well as the date of copstruction, make
the building a most logical choice for assembly of missiles.
A. General
With reference to the utilization of floorspace at the DMDPC,
there is no evidence that the ]I4DFC is involved in any type of produc-
tion other than that already mentioned -- that is, Belarus' tractors,
Dnepr refrigerators, and missile-related items. Because information
is available on areas within the DMDPC where certain types of produc-
tion functions take place, it is possible to specify with some confi-
dence those areas where the major missile work probably takes place.
Information identifying. areas of known production is examined below,
with the floorspace for missile-related production being treated. as a
residual,. although major, portion of the ]!DPC, after the space al-
located to known production has been delineated.
In the fall of 1953 when the defense industries of the USSR
were directed to assist in the fulfillment of programs aimed at the
increased production of tractors, Plant Post Box No. 186 (DAZ) was one
of the plants assigned to production of Belarus' tractors. The esti-
mated output of Belarus' tractors at this plant during the period
195+-62 is shown in the following tabulation:
 195+ 1955 1956 .1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 196L>*
6,500 15,100 29,700 30,200. 32,000. 31,400 31,500 31,500 20,000
On the basis of the floorspace requirements of the Minsk Tractor Plant
to produce some 45,000 Belarus' tractors and engines in 1962, it is
estimated that approximately 1.8 million sq ft of floor-space at Plant
Post Box No. 186 is required to support output of tractors at observed
levels. Published plans for the future total Soviet production of
tractors, when examined in conjunction with plans for the considerable
expansion and modernization of-the Minsk Tractor Plant,. suggest that,
by 1965, Plant,Post Box No. 186 no longer will be involved in produc-
tion of tractors. ?
It isabelieved that production of tractors currently continues
in the northern section of Plant Post Box No. 186, where it originally
was reported during the middle and late 1950's_ At the time of the
decision to produce the Belarus' tractor at DAZ in 1953, the floorspace
in this section was in excess of 1.5 million sq ft. Since that time,
this section of the.plant has been enlarged to more than 3 million sq ft.
Throughout the entire time period, therefore, the floorspace available
in this section of the plant has been more than adequate to handle the
estimated rates of production of Belarus' tractors.
The Dnepr refrigerator has been produced.at Plant Post Box
No. 192 at least since 1957, increasing from an annual rate of ap-
proximately 42,000 units in that year to an estimated output of more
than 80,000 during 1962. This level of production probably can be
accommodated in an area of 140,000 sq ft or less. A variety of com-
binations of several of the smaller buildings in the Plant Post Box
No. 192 area therefore could provide the facilities needed for pro-
duction of refrigerators.
1 11. Rocket Engines
The D 4DPC is believed to have become involved in missile-
related production initially late in 1951, when the facility was
January-June. This figure was obtained from tractor markings re- -
ported in a newspaper article of September. 1962.
The article cited in the footnote, above, indicates that at least
some of the Belarus' engines are produced at the Yaroslavl' Engine Plant.
 SE-CRET
transferred to the Ministry of Defense Industry. At first the LHI)PC
produced rocket engines under the guidance of Plant No. 456, the major
Soviet facility for rocket engine research and development, located at
Khimki. Production of rocket engines is known to have been centered
at Plant Post Box No. 186, presumably in the area then available in
the northern section of the present plant. Information from returnees
clearly indicates that production of engines continued at least through
1956, and reports of engine test noises persist into the 1960's. There
is and has been considerable floorspace in this section of the plant
that would not be required for production. of tractors and therefore is
presumably available for manufacture of rocket engines, as indicated
in A.*
a o
The LR4DPC is-not believed to have become involved in the
fabrication and/or the assembly of missile airframes earlier than the
1955-56 period. The construction of the hydrostatic test tower and
the completion of the major assembly building in the area of Plant Post
Box No. 192 support this opinion. Although therE is no firm evidence
as to how the DMDPC operates,efrom the point of view of assembly flow
within the LDPC, one likely operational mode would place assembly in
the Plant Post Box No. 192 area and fabrication in the southern half
of the Plant Post Box No. 186 area. The most.probable location for
the final assembly of missiles would be the large assembly type of
building in the Plant Post Box No. 192 area. The floorspace of this
building appears to be more than adequate to handle the necessary
welding of tankage, the assembly and the mating of various sections
and subassemblies, the calibration, the installation of electronic
equipment and wiring, and the final checkout of the complete missile.
All of the components both for major and subassembly fabrication could
come from the Plant Post Box No. 186 area. The early known functions
of certain buildings in this area are entirely compatible with this
allocation of activity..
Fragmentary evidence suggests that some elements of ground-
support equipment also are manufactured at the EMDPC. Although there
is no firm evidence as to where within the DMDPC this activity may be
carried on, its requirements as to floorspace suggest that the Plant
Post Box No. 192 area is the best choice.

METHODOLOGY
The main-portion of this research aid, presenting a floor plan and
functional description of the DMDPC, is based primarily on information
25X1C received from There is
such a large quantity of this information and so much divergence therein
25X1D that considerable personal judgment was required in selecting those re-
ports which seemed most useful to provide a basis for the floor plan.
When possible, the information from thebe reports was checked against
25X1D the :mPii amount of firm information on layout of the DMDPC available
from other sources. For example,
25X1C was used extensIvely as a check on the information received
from the On the average the Himensions
25X1D given should be interpreted as accurate within less than
25X1D In spite of the sometimes variable quality of individual
measurements or estimates as they pertain to individual buildings, it
is believed that the over-all numerical data on floorspace are quite
realistic.
