A. B. C. D.

C.

The agency that serves the DoD community as the largest central resource for DoD and government-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business-related information available today is the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).

DTIC is a Department of Defense (DoD) Field Activity under the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)). It provides centralized scientific and technical information support for the DoD and federal government, as well as other authorized users. DTIC's mission is to collect, analyze, synthesize, and disseminate scientific and technical information to support the research, development, engineering, and acquisition programs of the DoD and its partners.

DTIC is the largest central resource for DoD and government-funded scientific, technical, engineering, and business-related information. It offers access to millions of bibliographic citations and full-text documents, including technical reports, research papers, journal articles, conference proceedings, and more. DTIC also provides access to specialized databases, software, and tools that support research and development in a wide range of disciplines, including engineering, physics, chemistry, computer science, and materials science.

DISA (Defense Information Systems Agency) is a DoD combat support agency that provides information technology and communications support to the military. DIAP (DoD Intelligence Analysis Program) is a program that supports intelligence analysis within the DoD. DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is a research and development agency within the DoD that focuses on breakthrough technologies for national security. While each of these agencies plays an important role in supporting the DoD, none of them serve as the largest central resource for scientific, technical, engineering, and business-related information like DTIC does.
