Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP, Russia) is one of the founders of colliding beam experiments. Since 1961, at least one collider has always been under operation at the BINP. Today, there are three ongoing colliding beam experiments in Novosibirsk. The development and production of aerogel Cherenkov radiators in Novosibirsk started in 1986. Today, aerogels from Novosibirsk are well-known as Cherenkov radiators for HEP experiments. About half of all HEP experiments with aerogel Cherenkov counters exploit silica-based aerogel from Novosibirsk. The status of the aerogel-based PID systems used at the BINP and recent progress in aerogel counters R&Ds are presented. Some aerogel-based PID options for future colliding beam experiments are discussed as well.
