Docket #:2014-02

This Proposal has been approved, and is now a Milestone


To the proposer’s knowledge, is this achievement subject to litigation?


Is the achievement you are proposing more than 25 years old? Yes

Is the achievement you are proposing within IEEE’s designated fields as defined by IEEE Bylaw I-104.11, namely: Engineering, Computer Sciences and Information Technology, Physical Sciences, Biological and Medical Sciences, Mathematics, Technical Communications, Education, Management, and Law and Policy. Yes

Did the achievement provide a meaningful benefit for humanity? Yes

Was it of at least regional importance? Yes

Has an IEEE Organizational Unit agreed to pay for the milestone plaque(s)? Yes

Has an IEEE Organizational Unit agreed to arrange the dedication ceremony? Yes

Has the IEEE Section in which the milestone is located agreed to take responsibility for the plaque after it is dedicated? Yes

Has the owner of the site agreed to have it designated as an IEEE Milestone? Yes


Year or range of years in which the achievement occurred:

75

Title of the proposed milestone:

"Zenit three-coordinate L-band pulsed radar, 1938"

Plaque citation summarizing the achievement and its significance:

“A major advance in the development of radar occurred at the Laboratory of Electromagnetic Oscillations of the Ukrainian Institute of Physics and Technology in 1938, when radar Zenit was tested. Designed by Abram Slutskin, Alexander Usikov and Semion Braude, microwave scientists and magnetron pioneers, it established the practicality of the pulsed method and a shorter wave band in the precise determination of all three coordinates of airborne targets”.

200-250 word abstract describing the significance of the technical achievement being proposed, the person(s) involved, historical context, humanitarian and social impact, as well as any possible controversies the advocate might need to review.


IEEE technical societies and technical councils within whose fields of interest the Milestone proposal resides.


In what IEEE section(s) does it reside?

IEEE Ukraine Section

IEEE Organizational Unit(s) which have agreed to sponsor the Milestone:

IEEE Organizational Unit(s) paying for milestone plaque(s):

Unit: IEEE Ukraine Section
Senior Officer Name: Ievgen Pichkalyov

IEEE Organizational Unit(s) arranging the dedication ceremony:

Unit: IEEE East Ukraine Joint Chapter
Senior Officer Name: Nataliya Sakhnenko

IEEE section(s) monitoring the plaque(s):

IEEE Section: IEEE Ukraine Section
IEEE Section Chair name: Valerii Zhuikov

Milestone proposer(s):

Proposer name: Alexander Nosich
Proposer email: Proposer's email masked to public

Proposer name: Nataliya Sakhnenko
Proposer email: Proposer's email masked to public

Please note: your email address and contact information will be masked on the website for privacy reasons. Only IEEE History Center Staff will be able to view the email address.

Street address(es) and GPS coordinates in decimal form of the intended milestone plaque site(s):

Old campus of the National Science Center “Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology” (NSC KIPT) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, vul. Chaykovskoho 2, Kharkiv 61002, Ukraine

Describe briefly the intended site(s) of the milestone plaque(s). The intended site(s) must have a direct connection with the achievement (e.g. where developed, invented, tested, demonstrated, installed, or operated, etc.). A museum where a device or example of the technology is displayed, or the university where the inventor studied, are not, in themselves, sufficient connection for a milestone plaque.

Please give the address(es) of the plaque site(s) (GPS coordinates if you have them). Also please give the details of the mounting, i.e. on the outside of the building, in the ground floor entrance hall, on a plinth on the grounds, etc. If visitors to the plaque site will need to go through security, or make an appointment, please give the contact information visitors will need. Entrance to the old campus of the National Science Center “Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology” (NSC KIPT) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Radar Zenit was developed, partially tested, and demonstrated at that site in 1938. This is a corporate building. There are no historical markers at the site.

Are the original buildings extant?

Yes

Details of the plaque mounting:

On the outer wall of the ground floor entrance hall.

How is the site protected/secured, and in what ways is it accessible to the public?

As the plaque is supposed to be placed on the outer wall, the plaque will be accessible for all visitors and public.

Who is the present owner of the site(s)?

National Science Center “Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology” (NSC KIPT) of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine

What is the historical significance of the work (its technological, scientific, or social importance)? If personal names are included in citation, include justification here. (see section 6 of Milestone Guidelines)


What obstacles (technical, political, geographic) needed to be overcome?


What features set this work apart from similar achievements?


Supporting texts and citations to establish the dates, location, and importance of the achievement: Minimum of five (5), but as many as needed to support the milestone, such as patents, contemporary newspaper articles, journal articles, or chapters in scholarly books. 'Scholarly' is defined as peer-reviewed, with references, and published. You must supply the texts or excerpts themselves, not just the references. At least one of the references must be from a scholarly book or journal article. All supporting materials must be in English, or accompanied by an English translation.
