- DTIC Operating Status
- DTIC A-Z provides an alphabetical reference listing of all DTIC products, resources and services offered. Similar to a sitemap, here you will find links to all the information that can be found on DTIC Online.
- DTIC facilitates information exchange throughout the Defense establishment to support our nation's warfighters. DTIC encourages everyone in the Defense community to submit all appropriate materials for inclusion in our databases.
- The Current Issues are based on questions posed by DTIC customers and are intended to give you a flavor of the resources available to DTIC users. By registering with DTIC, you will be able to examine these and other topics in depth.
- Ask a Librarian is a Cooperative Virtual Reference service available 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. It allows libraries and information centers to expand reference services with shared resources around the world.
- The scope of DTIC's scientific and technical collection covers all areas of defense research. DTIC offers three Web sites for access to its resources and services: DTIC Online; DTIC Online Access Controlled; and DTIC Online Classified.
- MultiSearch is DTIC's federated search that allows users to search more than 400 governments, commercial and international resources from a single query.
- DTIC offers three Web sites for access to its resources and services: DTIC Online; DTIC Online Access Controlled; and DTIC Online Classified. Entrance to each site is based on an individual's registration level and provides the respective access and information coverage.
- Search DTIC's extensive public Technical Reports Collection.
- Information Analysis Centers (IACs) are research and analysis organizations established by the DoD to support researchers, scientists, engineers, and program managers with expertise in all areas of Defense research and engineering.
- DTIC provides a wide range of customer support including reference assistance, using or searching DTIC Online, assistance in locating a Technical Report and more.

Aerodynamics
Flight characteristics and problems of full-scale or model aircraft and their components as they are affected by the dynamics of air; Flight testing and wind tunnel testing. Includes theoretical and experimental aerodynamics as applied to missiles, See 16/02/01, Guided Missile Dynamics, Configurations and Control Surfaces. For the behavior of spacecraft in air, see 22/03, Spacecraft Trajectories and Reentry. For the aerodynamics of ground structures, see 13/13, Structural Engineering and Building Technology

02 Military Aircraft Operations Military aircraft operations such as takeoff Operations and landing, air traffic, all weather and night flight, taxiing, approach, and inflight refueling; Flight safety; Ground safety; Aviation accident studies; Aircraft simulators and training devices. For missile operations, see Field 16, Guided Missile Technology. For spacecraft operations, See Field 22, Space Technology. For navigation and air traffic control, see 17/07/03, Air Navigation and Guidance.

03 Aircraft Design, production, and maintenance of aircraft, aircraft components, and aircraft equipment; Structural studies of complete aircraft components such as airframes, bodies, and wings. Airworthiness; Crashworthiness; Aircraft damage assessment and vulnerability studies; effects of gunfire and blast on aircraft and flight equipment. For civilian aircraft, See 01/03/09, Civilian Aircraft. For specific types of aircraft, See subgroups 01/03/01 - 01/03/12. See also Field 16, Guided Missile Technology and Field 22, Space Technology.

03/10 Pilotless Aircraft R.P.V.; Drones. Includes full size aircraft when configured as drones.

03/11 Lighter-than-air Aircraft Airships, blimps, dirigibles, balloons, for both civilian and military applications.

03/12 Research and Experimental Aircraft Includes aerospace aircraft.

04 Flight Control and Instrumentation Instruments, sensors, displays and recorders necessary for control and monitoring the flight of an aircraft; Cockpit and cabin display devices and onboard checkout systems; Onboard navigation display devices; Automatic pilots; Stability and control systems; Boundary layer control systems; Dynamic and static control devices. If the application of a flight control system is apparent, see the field where the application is treated. For devices used to compute flight times and headings, See 17/07/03, Air Navigation and Guidance.

05 Terminal Flight Facilities Airports; Military air bases; Runways; Hangars; Ground refueling systems; Heliports; Aircraft handling and maintenance equipment; Taxiways; Parking aprons; Crash and fire facilities. For air traffic control systems, See 17/07/03, Air Navigation and Guidance.
