RESEARCHED RADIOASTRONOMY UNIVERSITY. 2. PERCENT or the acaoehy's budget is PROVIDED BY THE SOVIET GOVCRnHENT, AND THAT THE REMAINDER IS PROVIDED BY INDUSTRY AND CONTRACTS WITH DESIGN BUREAUS. UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES HAS THE AUTHORITY TO UNILATERALLY_ ENGAGE IN COOPERATIVE RESEARCH WITH THE UNITED STATES, ANDj THE AREAS OF MOST INTEREST FOR COOPERATION ARE MATH, THEORETICAL PHYSICS, AND ASTRONOMY, ASKED ABOUT U.S. RESEARCH IN THE AREA OF UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT'S.' SAYING THAT THE ACADEMY HAS SEVERAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT FOLLOW THE SUBJECT AND THAT SOME SCIENTISTS THINK IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. ig^mg^BHBD'^HERE IS NO SPECIFIC STUDY OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING IN THE ACADEMY, BUT THAT THE SUBJECT IS INCORPORATED IN MANY INSTITUTES SUCH AS METAL SCIENCES, COMPUTERIZATION AND INFORMATION SCIENCES, AND MATH. THE UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES IS NO LONGER PARTICIPATING IN THE SOVIET MARS PROGRAM, SINCE THIS HAS BECOME A STATE PROJECT. COMMERCIAL EMPLOYEES. INVESTIGATING COMPOSITES. MAINFRAMES OPTIMIZATION ESTIMATION AERODYNAMICS, INSTRUMENT PROCESSING. COOPERATION AEROFLOT'S PASSENGERS. THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE PLANT IS 35,000 FLIGHTS. PRODUCTIO.S OF THE A.{-26 BEGAN IN 1975 UTIE.N AN-24 PRODUCTION WAS STOPPED. SOME 1,400 AN-26 AIRCRAFT HAD BEEN PRODUCED AS OF SEPTEMBER 1969.

THE KIEV AIRCRAFT FACTORY NOW PRODUCES CONSUMER GOODS SUCH AS WASHING MACHINES, BABY CARRIAGES, MEDICAL PRODUCTS, DENTIST CHAIRS, BAROMETRIC CHAMBERS, AND SPECIAL MACHINERY FOR CANNING FOOD. THE FACTORY IS RETRAINING ITS PERSONNEL TO PRODUCE THESE CONSUMER GOODS, AND IT IS USING COMPUTERS, INCLUDING COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, TO SOLVE DESIGN AND FABRICATION PROBLEMS. THE PRODUCTION RATE OF VARIOUS ITEMS IS DETERMINED BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT, AND THE PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT PERFORMS QUALITY CONTROL ON THE .INPUTS AND ALL FINISHED PRODUCTS. THE FACTORY IS USING SOME ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY FOR ASSEMBLY, BUT HAS 16,000 EMPLOYEES. THE FACTORY PRODUCED 19 MILLION RUBLES WORTH OF CONSUMER GOODS IN 1988 AND 21 MILLION RUBLES IN 1989.
