On June 17, 1953, the Minister of National Defense issued organizational order No. 042/Org, establishing the Scientific Research Institute of the Air Force (INBWL) on the grounds of the Babice airfield near Warsaw. Subsequently, on September 8, 1958, by order No. 013/MON, the institute's name was changed to the Institute of Aviation Technology of the Armed Forces (ITWL), a name that remains to this day. Since its inception, ITWL has been engaged in enhancing combat readiness and flight safety, initially pioneering in these areas and subsequently advancing technologically.
