History
Research and experimental development in the field of defense and national security
In his speech "Kazakhstan in the Post-Crisis World: An Intellectual Breakthrough into the Future," President N.A. Nazarbayev set the task of creating scientific and technical units in industries, ministries, and national companies to analyze all ongoing and planned projects. In addition, the Military
Doctrine defines the main tasks and measures of military-economic support aimed at the effective functioning of the state's military organization in peacetime and wartime.
One of these tasks is to conduct research-and-development and experimental-design work and to intensify innovation activities for the qualitative renewal of the scientific-technical and technological-industrial base of defense industry enterprises.
- On November 13, 2009, with 100% participation of Kazakhstan Engineering National Company JSC, a decision was made to establish Unified Center for the Implementation of Weapons Control Systems LLP.
- In 2012, Unified Center for the Implementation of Weapons Control Systems LLP, by decision of the Company’s Management, was transformed into Kazakhstan Engineering Research and Development Institute LLP.
- In 2016, the institute underwent new development and was transformed into Kazakhstan Engineering R&D Center LLP.
- The Center's main activities are the development of national science in the defense industrial sector, provision of scientific and technical support for the modernization of existing military and dual-use products and the development of new ones in the interests of the state's military security. The Center develops and implements modern information technologies based on domestic innovative solutions, and provides a full range of services, support, and project management to bring ideas to industrial mass production. In addition, the Center supplies unmanned aerial vehicles and robotic systems, and conducts testing and implementation of new developments.
- In 2024, the Center's specialists successfully completed the training and acceptance of the KVR-7001 unmanned aerial vehicle. That same year, Kazakhstan Engineering R&D Center LLP was awarded the “Best Innovative Company” title, and its General Director, Gani Nuraliyevich Baiseitov, became a laureate of the state award for “Best Scientist.”
- Since 2025, the Center has been actively promoting the drone industry in Kazakhstan: organizing and holding Drone Racing and Drone Football competitions, as well as systematically developing a training program for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) operators.
- Today, Kazakhstan Engineering R&D Center LLP is a leading domestic research-and-production center, combining innovation, technology, and practice to strengthen national defense capability and develop high-tech areas in Kazakhstan.
