STINET

Scientific and Technical Information Network

In the age of information, the question of "Does this information exist?" is replaced by "Where and how fast can I get it?". STINET is the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) digital library solution to this question. STINET is a service from DTIC which aids the Department of Defense (DoD) community in finding real scientific and technical information easily and quickly. DTIC has been a branch of the DoD for over 50 years,providing valuable information by collecting, analyzing, and distributing technical information for DoD research and development.
