Tactical Missile Armament Corporation, commonly rendered in English as Tactical Missiles Corporation or KTRV, was organized from the Zvezda-Strela missile enterprise under Russia's early-2000s defense-industry consolidation program. Open government and sanctions sources identify the company at 7 Ilyicha Street in Korolyov, Moscow Oblast, and describe it as a state-owned missile and precision-weapons holding.

For this catalog, the builder context matters because the Kh-59 record uses the Tactical Missile Armament Corporation manufacturer facet alongside Raduga and Smolensk Aviation Plant. Public sources describe the wider KTRV group as responsible for anti-ship, anti-radiation, air-launched, shipborne, coastal, guided-bomb, and related precision-weapons production.
