Royal Hungarian Defence Forces Military Engineering Institute

The main task of HTI is the design and development of military equipment. From the point of view of computer technology, the project in which they worked on the creation of a target computer called C1 between 1967 and 1972 was significant. The task of the completed but not put into use machine was to create a remote data processing system of domestic development for non-civilian purposes that would have helped control and protect domestic airspace. (The requirement was that four computers reliably control a command projector and more than 100 locator station-near terminals.)

On January 1, 1996, it was subordinated to the Ministry of Defense.

It was discontinued in 2007 and became subordinate to the Ministry of Development and Logistics Agency.

The Military Technology Institute, and its successor, the Technology Office, performed military research and development tasks for the army as an independent organization from 1920 to 2007.
