Defense Technical Information Center Managed Services for DoD Generated Datasets

The objective of this effort is to examine the DoD Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) community's interest in establishing a capability that allows DoD users to discover and acquire datasets that are created as part of DoD RDT&E programs. In this context, the term dataset means a collection of related information and may include items such as sensor data (e.g., radar data), video data, still images, or monitored information (e.g., computer network traffic) to name a few. The data may be stored in a series of files or a database of records. DTIC has been chartered with the dissemination of technical reports generated by the DoD RDT&E community for a number of years. The inclusion of datasets, some of which are collected to generate the technical reports, is a natural enhancement of DTIC's services.
