Institute history


After the World War II, Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia had a need to independently develop military technology and reduce dependence from foreign supply with given political situation of that time and future political course. By a decision of the Secretary of Defense and a proclamation by the President of FPRY Josip Broz Tito, VTI was founded in 1948 as the Military technical institute of the Land Forces ((Serbian: VTIkov - Vojnotehnički Institut kopnene vojske)) in Belgrade. In 1973 VTI was integrated with several smaller military research and development institutes. In 1992 it assimilated the dissolved Aeronautical Technical Institute in Žarkovo, and minor parts (located in Serbia) of the Nautical institute (Serbian: Brodarski institut) from Zagreb, supposedly as an effort to reduce developing cost and maintenance. Since 1992 the Institute has changed name several times, reflecting the political changes in the country, starting with Technical institute of the Military of Yugoslavia ({{lang-sr|Vojnotehnički institut Vojske Jugoslavije}|script=Latn}). Currently used name is Military technical institute Belgrade (Serbian: VTI - Vojnotehnički Institut Beograd). Neither the translation of the name to other languages nor the corresponding acronym have ever been unambiguously defined; both VTI and MTI have been used in English-language documents, against the widely accepted practice not to translate such acronymes.



Today


Institute has 22 laboratories, and it is situated on 212 acres(86 hectare), with 177.000 square meters laboratories and office space, mostly in Bele Vode (sub-neighborhood of Žarkovo), on the premises of the former Aeronautical Technical Institute.


The Institute obtained the certificates of compliance to the SRPS ISO 9001 and SRPS ISO/IEC 17025 standards.



Weapons developed or upgraded fully or partially by VTI (and the assimilated institutes)


The institute cooperates with Serbian Army, Technical Testing Center and Yugoimport SDPR in designing and testing new weapons systems. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-9ubouHzkc


VTI (with assimilated predecessor institutes) developed more than 1300 military systems and weapons. However, not all of them entered use in the Yugoslav (later Serbian) Army.
LThe list includes weapons and systems of other companies in which VTI was partly involved in some stage of developing and those systems are given with references. Institute was in charge for domestically produced weapons systems under licence and modification and modernization of such weapons with introducing new technologies and making new materials and tools for production. There are several new weapons developed from licences products that surpass originals in performance. Examples of licences used for domestic new weapons is a licence for tank T-72.

Documentary and publishing activity


Making of technical documentation, films and books represents an important part of VTI as publisher, it represents institute output and quantifier of more than sixty years involvement in R&D missions. The Institute possesses technical documentation for over 1300 items of weaponry and defense equipment developed through institute history that are introduced in service in the armed forces. This documentation being intellectual property of MoD, it has an outstanding value and use for future projects.
