Hydraulics
Hydraulics is a branch of engineering that deals with the mechanical properties of liquids and their use in machinery. Hydraulic systems use pressurized fluid to generate force and motion, commonly found in heavy equipment.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Hydraulics is an engineering discipline and technology that utilizes pressurized incompressible fluids (typically oil) to transmit force and motion, enabling the operation of heavy machinery, industrial presses, and control systems by converting fluid pressure into mechanical work.
BACKGROUND
The defense industry of Serbia is the largest in the Western Balkans. Serbia's export of weapons and military equipment in 2021 was valued at $1.23 billion. It consists of around 200 companies, both public and private, working in many different fields. Serbian defense companies closely cooperate with the Military Technical Institute, country's top-level military scientific research institution, in developing new weapons, as well as with Serbian Armed Forces' Technical Testing Center, using its services for testing of new defense products. Universities and colleges in Serbia also participate through various contracts with the companies.
