If you're working in the area of defense research, science & technology, or engineering and you don't yet know about DSIAC, recommend you check them out. Same goes for life cycle logisticians working technically-focused aspects of our business such as supportability/product support analysis, reliability, availability & maintainability (RAM) analysis, configuration management, technical data management, design interface, sustaining engineering – or for the rest of our community, those who work closely with systems/sustaining engineers and other technically-focused colleagues (should be just about all of us!).

DSIAC stands for the Defense Systems Information Analysis Center, a component of the Defense Technical Information Center's Information Analysis Center (IAC) program. DSIAC exists to provide information research and analysis for DoD and Federal government users to stimulate innovation, foster collaboration, and eliminate redundancy.

DSIAC is funded to offer 4 hours of free information research in response to technical inquiries on any defense systems topic. The defense acquisition workforce is strongly encouraged to take advantage of this free service. Technical inquiries can be submitted to DSAIC via their website, www.dsiac.org.

Be sure to also peruse DSIAC's website to find out about all of their other products and services including their:

• Bi-weekly Digest
• Quarterly Journals
• Defense News Articles
• A Listing of Upcoming Events

DSIAC is a great resource for any and all defense acquisition personnel in need of support with information research on any defense systems topic.
