Dear colleagues,

On June 4, 2020 for another 11th year, we stand with a sense of fulfilled duty in front of our patron – "Professor Tsvetan Lazarov" and in front of the manuals of the Ministry of Defense and the Bulgarian Army!

On this date we mark the creation of the Defense Institute – the birth of our efforts, tireless work, deprivation and joy!

An institute, as its creators dreamed of it!

THE BULGARIAN DEFENSE INSTITUTE  "PROF. TSVETAN LAZAROV" IS A MEMBER OF THE CROSSREF

On June 18, 2020 the Bulgarian Defense Institute  held training of employees to work with the Centralized Automated Information System "Electronic Procurement". It was discovered by the Director of the Institute – Colonel PhD Dimitar Kirkov. Guest lecturer at the seminar was Mrs. Mariana Katsarova – lawyer, expert in public procurement. The aim of the seminar is to get to know the architecture and main aspects of the electronic platform and to acquire practical skills to work with it.

The Bulgarian Defense Institute "Prof. Tsvetan Lazarov" published the new issue of the Journal of Defense and Security Technologies (Volume 3, June 2020).

The main focus of this volume is on the approaches for a long-term forecasting of the trends in the development of the defense technologies. It is dedicated to the results achieved in the framework of the European Defense Agency Project „Predictive methodology for Technology Intelligence Analysis“(PYTHIA), carried out in the period 2018-2020.
