History

Following the June 1967 war, the Egyptian Armed Forces initiated a period of reconstruction. The conflict highlighted the urgent need for a more effective system to train technical personnel within the military. In response, a technical institute was established to provide the Armed Forces with specialized technical officers capable of serving in various capacities, including military units, repair workshops, and educational, technical, and professional facilities. The Armed Forces Technical Institute was officially founded on November 3, 1968, starting with five educational groups. Over time, it expanded to encompass nine groups, focusing on graduating officers with the technical and practical skills necessary to fulfill specialized roles within the Armed Forces. In 2022, the institute was transformed into the Military Technological College. [3] [4]

October's war

Studies at the Armed Forces Technical Institute commenced in October 1968, concurrent with the construction of its facilities, the development of training aids, and the preparation of instructors, all adhering to planned timelines. The institute's first class graduated in 1971, and its technical officers played in enhancing the operational efficiency of military equipment, particularly in preparation for the October 1973 war. [5]

During this period, major workshops for the Egyptian Armed Forces were planned, constructed, and enhanced under the supervision of the Technical Authority, significantly improving their capacity to repair the rapidly expanding inventory of military equipment. Among these were the radar and missile workshops, established within a year. [6]

The establishment and reinforcement of workshops covering various military specialties had an impact on the overall technical efficiency of the Armed Forces across all sectors, playing a critical role in preparing for the October 1973 war. The Technical Authority also oversaw the systematic planning and supply of spare parts, ensuring the Armed Forces were adequately prepared for the battle. Furthermore, the authority's supervision of technical research led to the development and modernization of military equipment. [7]

One notable example of the advancements achieved under the Technical Authority was the development and local production of the corridor bomb. This weapon, manufactured in domestic factories, was employed during the October War. [8]
