The '''152 mm air defense gun KM-52''' is a type of experimental [[Anti-aircraft warfare|anti-aircraft artillery]] developed by the [[OKB|Experimental Design Bureau]] (now independent as [[NPO Novator]]) of [[Kalinin Machine-Building Plant|Plant No.8]].
Originally developed as the 152 mm air defense gun '''KS-52''' in 1949, the gun had a muzzle velocity of 1030 m/s, firing a 49 kg shell at 10 rounds per minute with a travel weight of 46 tons. After inspection by the Soviet Artillery Committee (the ''Artkom'') and the [[Ministry of Armaments (Soviet Union)|Ministry of Armaments]], work on the KS-52 was halted in 1949.
Resolution No. 2966-1727 of November 26, 1951 from the [[Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union|Council of MInisters]] approved development of a "152 mm air defense gun on the basis of the [[KS-30]]", which was entrusted to OKB-8 and the Design Bureau of Plant No.172. Its head designer was Tsyrulnikov. The new gun, carrying the designation '''KM-52''', was not fully developed until 1954. The Technical Council of the [[Ministry of Defense Industry]] inspected the gun on January 28-29, 1955.
Production work of the KM-52 and its shells were distributed to different factories; the gun itself was mainly assigned to Plant No.172 (now [[Motovilikha Plants]]), who received different gun parts from other plants, including barrels from Plant No.232 (now [[Obukhov State Plant]]), which were in turn made from technical drawings by Plant No.8, GSP-152 traverse mechanisms from TsNII-173 (headed by Monastyrsky). Plant No.710 (now the defunct [[Podolsk Electro-Mechanical Plant]]). Shells were developed in NII-24, built by Plant No.73 with casings developed by NII-147. Firing mechanisms were developed from that of the SM-27 gun.
Plant No.221 (now [[Titan-Barrikady]]) also prepared two barrels and sent them to Plant No.172 in 1955. The KM-52 underwent factory testing in December 1955, and was delivered on December 28. The KM-52's gun carriage did not differ greatly from that of the KS-30. It achieved a rate of fire of 16-17 rounds per minute and 16 units were accepted into service in 1957.
Controlled experiments with the gun in 1957 produced some results, but a Resolution adopted by the Council of Ministers in June 1958 halted development of [[Rocket-assisted projectile|rocket assisted projectiles]] for the KM-52 alongside all work on the gun.
