Defense Technical Information Center

name: Defense Technical Information Center
description: The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) is the U.S. Department of Defense field activity that acquires,
  manages, and disseminates scientific and technical information from DoD-funded research, development, test, and evaluation.
  DTIC operates a public Research and Engineering (R&E) Gateway, the Discover service for searching technical reports, the
  DoDTechSpace and Minsky natural-language platforms for defense researchers, and Dimensions for collaborative discovery.
  Most DTIC services require authentication tied to DoD or registered-user roles. DTIC does not publicly publish a developer
  API, though tools such as Dimensions and Minsky offer programmatic capabilities to authorized users.
