Taganrog Plant Priboy

Taganrog Plant Priboy is a Russian naval-instrument manufacturer in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast, associated with shipborne hydroacoustic equipment, mine-hunting sonar, anti-saboteur sonar, piezoceramic components, and related marine electronics. Public industry references describe the plant as one of Russia's important hydroacoustic-weapons producers for the navy, while the plant's own site lists ship and vessel equipment and piezoceramic products.

Priboy's public footprint is concentrated in Russian shipbuilding and defense-industrial sources rather than in a broad export catalogue. The plant's current website identifies the company as AO Taganrog Plant Priboy, gives its Taganrog contact address, and presents ship-and-vessel equipment and piezoceramic products. Sudostroenie.info describes the enterprise as a Taganrog instrument-making plant specializing in the development and serial manufacture of hydroacoustic armament for the Russian Navy.

Historical industry records show the plant's role reaching back into the Soviet naval-industrial base. The FAS-hosted Russian Defense Business Directory, based on early-1990s data, identifies Taganrog Priboy Plant as a leading military sonar-equipment producer formerly subordinated to the Ministry of the Shipbuilding Industry, with naval sonar as its military product line and civilian lines that included fishing sonars, radio-navigation equipment, medical diagnostic equipment, and television components. The catalog connection is therefore strongest where open sources identify Priboy as the producer of specific hydroacoustic systems such as Anapa-ME and Livadiya-ME.

Public product-reference material describes low- and high-frequency antenna elements, automated coordinate measurement, mine-countermeasures control-system cueing, and an antenna package carried by a remotely operated underwater vehicle. Open reporting ties the sonar to the Project 12700/12701 Alexandrit mine-countermeasures family, while Weapons.rf identifies Aquamarin as developer and Taganrog Plant Priboy as producer.
