The domestic school of sea rocket production, founded and headed by Makeyev, has reached world excellence in a number of tactical and operational characteristics of rockets, control systems, starting systems. The key areas of expertise are:
- accommodation of engines inside tanks of fuel or oxidizer
- maximizing fuel capacitance of rocket shell
- successful use of astrocorrection in ballistic missiles
- use of zone amortization using elastomer materials
- ampulized fuel tanks factory refuelling
Under his management the unique laboratory/experimental base provided complex ground working for rockets.
