DoD Information Analysis Center
- (IAC) An activity that acquires, digests, analyzes, evaluates, synthesizes, stores, publishes, and provides advisory and other user services concerning available worldwide scientific and technical information and engineering data in a clearly defined, specialized field or subject area of significant DOD interest or concern. IACs are distinguished from technical information centers and libraries whose functions are primarily concerned with providing reference or access to the documents themselves rather than the STI information contained in the documents.
