Photoprylad is a research and production complex that works to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, public health system, state institutions and organizations, specializing in development, design and production of optoelectronic devices and special-purpose equipment.
History
Aydogdy Kurbanov founded Photoprylad in 1962 within the site of artel "Pobeda".
In 1965, the special design bureau was created, headed by Petrov I. and chief constructor Krivorotiy A.
From 1970 to 1972, Photoprylad took the lead in the design and production of devices for chemical-photographic processing, drying and interpretation of aerophotomaterials. Such space-oriented devices as "Svet", "Raccord", "Topaz" and others were developed and produced there. The first device was the interpretation marching kit PKD-1. The second was a device for washing photoprints PPO-1.
In 1972, precise mechanical devices production was initiated, along with optical mechanical, optical-electronic oriented (gyrocompass 1G-25 for determining true azimuth mounted on the artillery 1V12 complex.
In 1974, central design bureau "Sokol" was created as an individual organization. The chief constructor of CDB "Sokol" was Ablyazov R.
