Harbin Military Industry was founded during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and it is the first advanced military engineering college in New China. Its excellent school performance has created a monument in the history of national defense science and technology and higher education in China. 1970 The main body of the college moved to Changsha and was renamed Changsha Institute of Technology. 1978, converted into National University of Defense Technology of PLA. From 65438 to 0999, Changsha Artillery College, Changsha Institute of Engineering and Changsha Institute of Political Science were merged into National University of Defense Technology. In 20 17, the Central Military Commission made a decision to transfer the National University of Defense Technology, Institute of International Relations, Institute of National Defense Information, Xi 'an Institute of Communication, College of Electronic Engineering and Institute of Meteorology and Oceanography of Polytechnic University to the 63rd Research Institute of the Equipment Development Department of the Military Commission, and rebuild the National University of Defense Technology, which was placed under the leadership of the Military Commission.
