The Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC, / ˈ d iː t ɪ k / [2]) is the repository for research and engineering information for the United States Department of Defense (DoD). DTIC's services are available to DoD personnel, federal government personnel, federal contractors and selected academic institutions.
The DRDO was established in 1958 by combining the Defence Science Organisation and some of the technical development establishments. A separate Department of Defence Research and Development was formed in 1980, which later administered DRDO and its almost 30 laboratories and establishments (there were almost 52 labs before merging).
The Defense Research and Engineering Network (DREN) — a high-speed national computer network for US Department of Defense (DoD) computational research, engineering, and testing — is a significant component of the DoD High Performance Computing Modernization Program (HPCMP).
The department's work helps integrate the research and development of the DDR&D and the IDF, and contributes to the preservation of the defense establishment's qualitative edge. The CTO department also deals with the R&D of dual use technology and manages the Ministry of Defense Innovation Center. [10]

The governing body for DRI is a management board which is composed of representatives of each of the academic institutions, who serve three-year terms. [7] The Core Implementation Team (CIT) is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Repository as well as strategy development, coordination and project delivery. [8]
The National Defense Research Committee (NDRC) was an organization created "to coordinate, supervise, and conduct scientific research on the problems underlying the development, production, and use of mechanisms and devices of warfare" in the United States from June 27, 1940, until June 28, 1941.
The Dynamic Response Index (DRI) is a measure of the likelihood of spinal damage arising from a vertical shock load such as might be encountered in a military environment (i.e., during a mine blast, or in an ejection seat). The DRI is a dimensionless number which is proportional to the maximum spinal compression suffered during the event.
