The organization traces its modern scientific-production lineage to 21 April 1938, when a specialized ammunition design bureau was established for aircraft-bomb work. Later public descriptions present Bazalt as a full-cycle ammunition enterprise: research and development, serial-production introduction, and disposal work for ammunition used by Russia's ground forces, aerospace forces, and navy.
Open records place the enterprise at 32 Velyaminovskaya Street in Moscow and connect it to NPK Tekhmash, Technodinamika, and Rostec. Ukraine's War & Sanctions database identifies NPO BASALT JSC as a Russian enterprise for aerial bombs, mortar shells, anti-tank grenade launchers, and hand-held offensive and defensive grenades, and names the RPG-30 Kryuk and PBK-500U Drel among systems associated with the company.

Public records use overlapping English transliterations and legal forms for the Bazalt organization. Shorter labels such as Bazalt and JSC NPO Basalt already have separate published manufacturer records, so this record keeps the exact NPO BASALT JSC name without duplicating those aliases.
