DTIC is piloting two innovative search tools designed to provide you more robust search results for the close to 1 million records available on our public site.
Minsky and Dimensions are innovative search platforms using natural language processing tools to better analyze your specific search parameters. These powerful tools allow you to discover relevant connections and insightful information to analyze the DoD science and technical data available in new ways, giving you a more dynamic experience on our platform.
Check them out and let us know what you think using the feedback button below.
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:
- Use natural search terms as well as structured fields
- Discover connections and relevant material within varied datasets, through network maps
- Gain situational awareness of ongoing research across the S&T enterprise by exploring related information
Through an innovative pilot collaboration between DTIC and Dimensions, we are enhancing search and discovery within DTIC's extensive collection of technical reports. By applying modern data engineering and state-of-the-art natural language processing, DoD documents will be more findable than ever before.
- Analyze funding impact: Explore publications, grants, and patents linked to DoD funding
- Discover more DoD insights: Access DoD Technical Reports and Presidential Budget Reports
- Make informed decisions: Assess research activities and visualize trends
Benefits of Submitting to DTIC
Submitting your research to DTIC preserves your work and increases its visibility across the DoD S&T research community. Sharing your content reduces duplication of effort, saves time and money, accelerates innovation and delivery to the warfighter.
Defense S&T Spotlight
DTIC’s Defense S&T Spotlight compiles news and updates relevant to DoD and the research and engineering community.
The quarterly publication also highlights DTIC resources empowering readers to better analyze, shape, and share science and technology efforts.
Some links in the newsletter require CAC, PIV or ECA access to the R&E Gateway and, once on that site, credentials control the type of information accessible.
