For DTIC's Privacy Transparency Notice, please visit: https://discover.dtic.mil/privacy-security-copyright. The Defense Technical Information Center is the central scientific, research, and engineering information support activity for the Department of Defense. DTIC was established in June 1945 and 59 years later, in 2004, became a field activity under the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)). With the recent reorganization DTIC reports directly to the Director of Defense Research and Engineering for Research and Technology. DTIC’s role is to maximize our Nation’s investment in DoD research and development. To accomplish this DTIC’s focus is on the development and delivery of web-based tools that support the Department’s utilization of current and past research to make investment decisions on the next generation of technologies and accelerate the delivery of new capabilities to the Warfighter. DTIC’s tools and services improve coordination of research activity and help communities work together to solve the right problem, build on success, avoid reinventing the wheel, and recognize dead ends.
