This institute began as a military technical training school called the Institute of Armament Studies in 1952.[2] In the beginning, it was temporarily located inside the College of Military Engineering campus at Dapodi near Pune. In 1967, the institute was renamed to Institute of Armament Technology (IAT) when it was made an inter-service training institution and relocated to its present location in Girinagar, Pune.
