Data & Analysis Center for Software (IAC)

DACS is a DoD Information Analysis Center and serves as the DoD Software Information Clearinghouse. It is an authoritative source for state-of-the-art software information. Its focus is software technology and software engineering, and it offers information and assistance with Data Mining, High Performance Computing, Knowledge Management, Object-Oriented technology, Rapid Prototyping, Risk Management, and Software Reliability.

Defense Budget

Provides links to copies of the latest U.S. Defense Dept. budgets and several back years. Also SEE - Air Force RDT&E Descriptive Summaries and NARDIC

Defense Technical Information Center database - DTIC

(Public)

https://www.dtic.mil/portal/site/dticol/ - DTIC Online Access Controlled version* THE source for technical reports written by DoD and their contractors. Many newer reports and articles are full-text PDFs, including reports by AFRL, AGARD, JANNAF, WADC, etc. AFIT and NPS theses are also included (SEE - DoD Theses via DTIC above). The library owns over a half million reports on microfiche as "AD" numbered documents. Note that most of these are NOT listed in our catalog. DTIC's "Private" version indexes both public and limited reports, so it is much larger. For registration and information, visit http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/registration/
