Founded in 1918 in the FSJN
Bugoslavian Technologies originated as a company that sold tractors and other commercial products, with it getting its hold in the defense industry during the Great War. It created light vehicles during the conflict, and transitioned from the commercial industry to the military defense industry.
In the years following the Great War's end, the Jea'Noccean economy boomed, allowing for mass funding to the military. The company had thus taken advantage of this, with a contract to produce a superior aircraft engine. During this period, the company experimented with creating aircraft, with this process leading to the PT-1B Trainer being produced. A parasol wing and low performance led to its success being short lived, with it only receiving 1000 orders from an external nation. The company began to dabble with armored vehicles as well, producing 2 designs named the T27 Heavy Tank and the T4A2 Medium Tank. Despite the seeming failing of the company, it pushed forward with grants and short-lived contracts.
Relations between the company and country continued to improve, and in Spring of 1949, a multi-hundred million dollar contract had been issued for bomber aircraft, which the company fulfilled. The bomber design was large with a flying wing shape, 4 small tails and large engines. While the contract was fulfilled, it was found the engines on this aircraft were extremely unstable and often caught fire during flight. As a result, the aircraft were grounded and deemed unserviceable.
A final design was attempted to be made using the Engines from the bomber, with their primary issues being fixed. Alongside the requirement for a large AWACS aircraft, the EC-1 Prairie Dog and KC-1 Extender were born. Statistically quite average, however long endurance proved advantageous for their roles.
The Company had soon found itself in a drought of contracts throughout the next year, with other companies outcompeting Bugoslavian Technologies for fighter specifications. Especially with the recent purchasing of new factories to produce aircraft and armored vehicles, it was an ill-thought decision for the company. However, in the Fall of 1952, Bugoslavian Technologies had gained a legendary contract; a Long-Range Strategic Bomber, one that could travel intercontinentally. Every engineer available was used for the contract, producing the B-41 Cloudjumper, with 150 of them being ordered. Breathing life into the company, it began to grow once again.
After the production began for the B-41 Cloudjumper, FSJN reached out to the company in search of a new battle tank to give to its armies. In search of armor and firepower, the T-52 Heavy Tank had been created. A pike-nose hull and cast turret offered all the required specifications, and so 9,000 of them were ordered. As word of the tank's existence had spread, buyers from Allied countries wished to buy it, which lead to the T-52M1 Heavy Tank being created. A total of 350 of these have been sold. With the success of the T-52, a rocket-mortar variant had been made, dubbed the T-52 MLRS, and a howitzer, the T-52E1 HAT, with several thousand of each being contracted. It is to be noted that during this period, the Jea'Noccean War against Patalonia had begun.
With FSJN being at War, it needed modernized vehicles for its armored core. It contracted several Anti Aircraft Vehicles, With the primary ones being the M14 Skyshredder, and the M88 RADS. The M14 Skyshredder was mounted on a truck, with an external radar guiding the High explsoive-Timed fuze shells to hit enemy air targets. The M88 RADS, based on the M88 Leatherback APC, had a rotary cannon equipped in place of the Commander's cupola. Lastly, as the war went on, the company created a new armored vehicle for transport and weaponized purposes, named the M90 ATV. The system placed on it was known as the "HAAAS", or "Haze". Most recently, in early 1954, a new vehicle had been shown, a tank named the HT-105. Similar in weight to the T-52 Heavy Tank, however with much more advanced technology and mobility.

The B-41 Cloudjumper had shown its shortcomings in flight once it went into production, with the primary issue being the usage of 8 Engines to power the aircraft. It was slow compared to its contemporaries, and its range was subpar. Engineers later named the issue to be with the wing design, and so a new aircraft was devised to replace the B-41 Cloudjumper in the role of a strategic bomber. This lead to the creation of the B-42 Sky Titan. A marvel in engineering, it saw improvements in almost every area of flight; Reduced engine count, higher combat ceiling, faster speed, greater payload, and range. With the improvements, 500 were ordered. While the B-41 Cloudjumper was still to be produced, it was modified into the PB-41 Cloudfortress. For the role of strike aircraft, the A-3 Comet was created. A twin engine attacker aircraft with impressive speed and the first rotary autocannon in a plane.
With the War raging on, the nation recognized it's need for naval aviation, to which the company had proposed a multi-purpose aircraft design; the XN-1. Two powerful engines, a large main wing, and 3 rudder control surfaces, giving it the power and lift needed to take off from carriers without assistance. It was developed into the NE-1 Bloudhound a ASW aircraft, and the NS-2 Otter, a Naval patrol aircraft.

With the companies immense growth, it had branched into the region of targeted ordnance as well. Producing two designs using the newly invented Rocket Engine from SaCo. The first one was the LRSGM Ifrit, a cruise missile that used the Rockets for vertical takeoff, and a Parasite fighter of unknown name. The information on it is scarce, however it is speculated the program was shut down due to high costs.
The company had seen unbelievable growth from the Late 40s to the Mid 50s, seeing its value jump from just over 50,000,000 to upwards of 3,000,000,000 Para. This is in part due to the near monopoly it has with the defense industry, but also as with the economic success of the nation it resides in.
