Providing essential technical research, development, testing, and evaluation information, rapidly, accurately, and reliably to support our customers is the mission of the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC). The premier provider of S & T for the defense community, DTIC collects, stores, and disseminates authoritative DoD scientific, research, and engineering information. The center provides controlled access to S & T information; supports S & T specialized subject areas; offers up-to-date electronic information using various technologies, including Web 2.0 tools; and makes available customized training in searching DTIC databases and marking documents. DTIC creates and hosts more than 100 official DoD websites, several of which specifically support the Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR & E). DTIC Web hosting includes full-service Web support, an established and secure Web architecture, and customer assistance. In 2004, DTIC was established as a DoD field activity within the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics and reports directly to DDR & E. As a DoD field activity, DTIC is one of several organizations whose work reaches across all segments of the DoD.
