Includes alI stages of the Innovative cycle: fundamental research-appl led research-pilot production-Introduction. ASIA Is oriented towards the elaboration. development and practical 0 mastering of completely new technologies. It comprises large ~ wei !-equipped research departments and laboratories, experienced N design and technolgolcal bureau, experimental production and pilot Industrial enterprises. 21-2 3\3 This structure has the fol·lowlng major advantages: -mobility, ability to change Its organizational ties, create complex groups of sclen~lsts, engineers and technicians for solving scientific and technological problems and real lzatlon of target programmes; -organizational provisions for a closed Innovative (fundamental research-design development-pilot testing) guarantees a high degree of completion of developments and fast real lzatlon In production; a development Is considered completed only after Its Introduction In production; cycle which their to be -development of new technologl~al processes and types of new machines is carried out with direct participation of the authors-researchers whose ideas are implemented in Innovative which accelerates considerably the transfer of new technology prototypes to production; -existence of powerful modern pllot-expermentai basts for testing and Improvement of scientific-technological Innovations and their translation into concrete machines and technological processes; -el imlnatlon of departmental barriers by means of concentrating ample responsibil ltles in the ASTA "scientific link". This results in the posslbil ity of exercising a direct Influence on the topics of scientific research and the volume of manufactured produce, quick introduction of new methods, undelayed provision of equipment and materials required by alI ASTA units; -average two-told shortening of new technology mastering period by excluding a long and labour-Intensive stage of creating semi-industrial instal lations. A vanguard prototype is manufactured right away tot lowed by transition to Its Industrial mastering. At the same time the coordination of activities of the
