Samuel P. Rabinovich was born in 1909 in the village of Kamenka, Dnipropetrovsk region.
From 1931 to 1937 he studied at the Moscow Institute of Communication Engineers.
In the years 1937-1940 participated in creating the first practical radar station (radar) RUS-2 "Redoubt". This station was deployed in the war near the Moscow detected more than 200 German bombers and gave information about them to guide fighters and targeting anti-aircraft artillery. In 1942, Rabinovich is deputy chief designer of the radar station Certified Public Accountants-2, and since 1945 - chief designer of the radar Certified Public Accountants-4 ("Ray").
Foreign the first time in domestic practice, the station Certified Public Accountants-4 provided three modes: circular scanning, manual antenna control and automatic target tracking the angular coordinates.
The first mode is used for target detection and monitoring of the traffic condition on the indicator, the second—for the detection of targets in specific sector before going to the auto maintenance and for coarse positioning, the third—to accurately determine the azimuth and elevation in automatic mode and manual slant range or semi-automatic way. Since 1956 Rabinovich is chief designer of the radar sighting of interceptor missiles and command transfer station (RSVPR) experimental missile defense system (NMD).
Fully missile defense system first tested in March 1961 had shown the fundamental possibility of defeat warheads of ballistic missiles. In the 1970s was the chief designer of the radar System Technologies-68 (5N59) - moving the three coordinates of the station to detect and track low-altitude targets in active and passive noise in the presence of strong reflections from the ground and in adverse weather conditions.
