State of the Information Analysis Centers
Abstract
To lead off this third annual installment of the State of the Information Analysis Centers (IAC) report, I am pleased to report the DoD IAC program continues to bring Research and Development (R and D) innovation to the Department of Defense Science and Technology(S and T) ecosystem. We provide critical, flexible, efficient, and cutting-edge research and analysis primarily to acquisition program managers, DoD laboratories, Program Executive Offices (PEOs), and Combatant Commands. The DoD IAC program continues to expand its offerings and capabilities beyond its foundational heritage as the Rocket Propulsion Information Analysis Center (RPIAC) in 1946 to now encompass groundbreaking R and D efforts across the technological spectrum.The DoD IAC program is a model for the rapid and customer-focused acquisition of advanced R and D services tailored to address many different problems and scenarios, meeting the diversity of technical challenges faced by DoD customers across the breadth and depth of 22 technical focus areas. As part of the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC), the expansive work going on in the DoD IAC program aligns with Dr. Griffins mission as the Chief Technology Officer to foster technological dominance across the Department of Defense and ensure the advantage of the American warfighter. Accordingly, the DoD IAC program has aligned its efforts to support OUSD(R and E)s eleven modernization priorities depicted on page 18.
