The main applications and trends in the development of modern high-current superconductors, the characteristics of niobium-titanium superconductors for the FAIR (Germany) and NICA (Dubna, Russia) accelerator complexes, medical tomographs, and Nb 3 Sn superconductors for high-resolution spectrometers and modernization of the large hadron collider are examined. Advanced composite superconductors developed at VNIINM for different applications are described. The main results of development work on technologies for the fabrication of targets for spraying buffer and superconducting layers and for substrate tapes of different types for the fabrication of second-generation high-temperature superconductors are examined.
