GRAU Index
The GRAU index (Ministry of Defense index) is a conventional alphanumeric designation for weapons assigned by one of the ordering directorates of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR and Russia. GRAU indices were introduced by the Main Artillery Directorate (GAU, later now GRAU) in 1938 to designate products of artillery weapons in non-classified correspondence. The indexing system of armament (indexer) has developed over time. In 1956 the system underwent a number of changes, due to the fact that the index of 1938 had exhausted its capacity and did not satisfy the requirement of keeping state secrets, as well as in connection with the emergence of fundamentally new types of weapons, for example, rocket technology.
