DRAKON (Russian: ДРАКОН, "dragon" – backronym for Дружелюбный Русский Алгоритмический язык, Который Обеспечивает Наглядность, "friendly Russian algorithmic language that guarantees clarity") is an algorithmic visual programming language developed for the Buran space project. Its development, started in 1986, was directed by Vladimir Parondzhanov. The goal was to replace specialised languages PROL2 (ПРОЛ2), DIPOL (ДИПОЛЬ) and LAKS (ЛАКС) used in the Buran project with one universal language. The work was finished in 1998 (5 years after the Buran project was officially closed), when an automated CASE programming system called "Grafit-Floks" was developed.
