The company was founded in 1949 in what was then Yugoslavia, for the needs of the Yugoslav defense industry.[4] Today the company represents the Government and military–industrial complex of Serbia in the sphere of importation and exportation cooperation of defense equipment and related services. The company works together with the Serbian Army, Military Technical Institute Belgrade and many private companies in Serbia and around the world in developing new weapons and systems. The company also provides weapons design, consulting, construction and engineering services.[5] SDPR opened a new "Complex Battle System" factory in Velika Plana, Serbia for producing combat vehicles.[6]

Engineering

Yugoimport built many military and civilian objects in numerous countries around the world including airports, hospitals, command posts etc.[7] Up to and including the 1990s, Yugoimport built many civilian and military facilities for Iraq, under Saddam Hussein's regime.[8]

Partnership, transfer of technology and licensing

Yugoimport had many high-profile technology transfers with a goal to establish arms or ammunition production in target friendly countries. One of the best known is the export of the M-87 Orkan MLRS' technology to Iraq and many other licenses to many countries. Most recently there were production licenses bought by Azerbaijan [9] to produce grenade launchers, along with Algeria and India for small arms and ammunition production. In November 2011, a contract was signed in Algiers forming a joint-venture for the construction of three arms factories in Algeria for the manufacture of individual weapons and the ammunition for a total amount of US$400 million.[10] The latest ammunition production license was made under the "Made in India" program and is worth 2.8 billion Euros.[11]
