"Araks" electronic computer and complex
In 1962, the institute began, and in 1964, the development of an electronic computer and a complex built on it (Chief Designer: Henrikh Grigory Belkin).
"Araks" information-computing complex was intended to automate:
- The process of oil cracking in the country's oil refineries,
- Measurements and fixation of industrial products,
- Automatic comparison of industry indicators,
- Automatic calculations of indicators
This complex consisted of "Araks" computer and "ELRU 3" central control device.

Participated in the development of "Araks" computer machine and the complex: Ruben Nalbandyan, Henrik Alanakyan, Artyom Kokyanov, Vachik Zadoyan, Rudik Ohanyan, Walter Grigoryan, Eduard Malkhasyan, Leonida Tumoyan, Vigen Minasyan, Anatoly Dolganov and others.
According to the ideas of the Deputy Chief Designer R. Nalbandyan, the construction of the car was built with an original design.
At the end of 1962 Shahnazarov was transferred to another job. The responsibilities of the chief engineer of the institute were temporarily assigned to Boris Evsey Khaykin. He performed those duties until the beginning of 1963.
At the beginning of 1963, Fadey Tachat Sargsyan, who had previously worked as the client's senior representative at the institute, was appointed chief engineer of the institute.
