In March 2022, TsNII Burevestnik took part in the "Best Invention in the Interests of Defense Industry Enterprises of the Russian Federation" competition at the 25th Moscow International Salon of Inventions and Innovative Technologies "Archimedes 2022," presenting a utility model called the "Multichannel Hydraulic Junction" — a device for delivering working fluids with different properties to the rotating elements of a combat module. The utility model makes it possible to prevent the mixing of fluids from different hydraulic systems if sealing devices fail, thereby preventing damage to pumps, valves, and other hydraulic equipment; the parts of the product are made of stainless steel, which allows it to be used in marine conditions, and the development is applicable to both military and civilian products.[9][9]
