In 1965, special design bureau was created, headed by Petrov I. and chief constructor Krivorotiy A.
Between 1970-1972, Photoprylad took the leading part in design and producing devices for chemical-photographic processing, drying and interpretation of aerophotomaterials. Such important space-oriented devices as "Svet", "Raccord", "Topaz" and others were developed and produced here. The first device constructors developed was interpretation marching kit PKD-1, second one – device for washing photoprints PPO-1.
In 1972, development and producing precise mechanical devices was initiated, also optical mechanical, optical-electronic oriented (gyrocompass 1G-25 for determining true azimuth mounted on artillery 1V12 complex.
In 1974, central design bureau "Sokol" was created as an individual organization. The chief constructor of CDB "Sokol" was Ablyazov R.
In 1974-1976, serial production of separate units and control equipment 9S475 started. It was mounted on MI-24 helicopter.

In 1990, "Photoprylad" started to produce medical equipment. These are ophthalmological devices "Stimul", "Alkor", FK-30.
In 1994, research and production complex "Photoprylad" was created based on "Photoprylad" and CDB "Sokol".
In 1995, "Strela" special design bureau became a part of R&PC.
In 1996, R&PC "Photoprylad" started producing tank sighting systems using laser and microscopic techniques.
Since 2011, the R&PC "Photoprylad" has been included into the State Concern "Ukrboronprom."[1]
Nowadays R&PC "Photoprylad" considered as modern complex including design bureau "Sokol" and special design bureau "Strela". 2012-2014 R&PC "Photoprylad" was headed by Gordiienko V. (chief constructor). Since the end of 2014 he was replaced by Korevo G. (ex-general director of Izium State-Owned Instrument-Making Plant,[2]) . R&PC "Photoprylad" is situated on 2 large industrial sites of 210 thousand square meters and about 1000 employees. R&PC cooperates with Eastern and European countries. 20 October 2014 President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko informed that R&PC "Photoprylad" included into program[3] of state order during 2015, producing night vision googles and thermal imagers for ATO soldiers.
