Currently VNIIA develops a number of large, comprehensive scientific and technical areas, having become in each of the areas a nation-wide leading organization.

All of these areas include research, design, engineering, and production units that carry out research, development, experimental efforts and testing of prototypes, production and supply of serial products to customers, and manufacturer's maintenance of products in the operation

Unique scientific results of long-term systematic research in every science and technology area formed the foundation for more than 200 theses prepared by the employees of the Institute.

Structural integration of the units that develop and manufacture technologically similar products, as well as recent merger of VNIIA and three large enterprises of Rosatom allowed several research and production centers to be established at the Institute that are located on five production sites in Moscow and in the Moscow region. Products, developed and serially produced at the Institute, have properties that are typically superior to the best domestic and foreign analogues, and provide unmatched reliability. The quality system being in force at the Institute since 1978 has been significantly upgraded based on the developed complexes of related standards regulating the functions of the units in all areas of activity. The Institute won more than once prestigious awards for the quality-related efforts, including the Quality Award of the Government of the Russian Federation.
