DTIC and the IAC Program
AMMTIAC is one of nine Information Analysis Centers (IACs) sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC). IACs are research and analysis organizations established by the DoD to support researchers, scientists, engineers, and program managers with expertise in all areas of Defense research and engineering (see sidebar for a list of the other DTIC and DoD IACs).
DTIC is the premier provider of DoD technical information, and is administered under the office of the Secretary of Defense by the Director, Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E). DTIC supports the warfighter by leveraging the billions of dollars invested in Defense scientific and technology research to quickly provide relevant information and to prevent redundant research from being performed.
The mission of DTIC's IAC program is two-fold. Firstly, IACs enable quick access to worldwide scientific and technical information to improve the productivity of personnel in the Defense science and technology communities. The IACs accomplish this mission by collecting, analyzing, synthesizing, and disseminating relevant information in clearly-defined and structured subject areas. Secondly, the IACs serve their respective fields by providing technical services and solutions. With the staff's competency in working with customers to define requirements and then employing their skills in data analysis, they can develop those customized solutions needed to address critical Defense problems.
