What are IACs?

IACs are research and analysis organizations chartered by the DoD and operated by DTIC, to help researchers, engineers, scientists and program managers utilize existing Scientific and Technical Information (STI).  IACs establish and maintain comprehensive knowledge bases that include historical, technical, scientific, and other data and information collected worldwide.   IACs also work directly with customers on Technical Area Tasks (TATs), which yield new STI; this is added to one of the ten IACs, based on its technical focus. Customers who use the IAC program are able to save federal dollars by not duplicating work that’s already been performed while simultaneously strengthening the scientific community by adding new pieces of STI for others to use.
