DTIC is Modernizing Our Search!
We need you to use these search tools and tell us which features and capabilities are most important to you. Not only will you make public search better, but your feedback will help inform DTIC's overall modernization. We currently have two commercial search products available, each of which offers a different interface and approach to exploring public content available through DTIC. We ask that you follow the links below and explore these new approaches to search and discovery, and please do take a moment to come back to this page to submit your thoughts and feedback.
Thank you for helping make DTIC resources more useful!

DTIC is pleased to provide access to its vast collection of Defense scientific and technical information through Minsky. This Natural Language Processing platform allows for nuanced and expertise-specific processing of text data and provides new ways to explore DTIC’s data collections, enabling users to:
1. Use natural search terms as well as structured fields
2. Discover connections and relevant material within varied datasets, through network maps
3. Gain situational awareness of ongoing research across the S&T enterprise by exploring related information

Coming Soon!
