SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY (S&T) ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD As part of the Air Force Independent Research and Development (IR&D) process, we have activated a Science and Technology (S&T) electronic bulletin board. This bulletin board was developed to provide industry with current Air Force requirements and related documentation to support their IR&D planning. It also provides the benefit of supporting technical interchange between industry and the appropriate government personnel. The bulletin board allows industry to review and download these documents, and send and receive messages to other users. During the coming year the Air Force intends to provide information on the following topics: Technology Area Plans, Technology Investment Plans, Technology Requirements (as determined by the Air Force S&T Technology Master Process); unclassified Mission Area Plans, Deficiencies, and Information Bulletins (as supplied by Air Force Commands); Air Force technical points of contact, technology area plan and thrust managers, and IR&D points of contact; Program Element Discriptive Summaries; Laboratory IR&D policies, and other general information to support industry. This bulletin board is open to the Department of Defense (DOD), commercial companies, and DOD contractors. Part of the information posted on this bulletin board is limited to the DOD and contractors registered with DTIC. Companies registered with DTIC may access the bulletin board through the DOD Gateway Information System (DGIS), INTERNET, or modem. Commercial companies may access the bulletin board through INTERNET or modem. All users will be required to apply for a password to access the bulletin board. If you have any questions regarding or are interested in accessing the Air Force S&T bulletin board, contact Major Louis Scacca, (513) 257-5593. If you have any questions regarding DGIS, contact Ms. Clara Gannon, (703) 617-7931 or via electronic mail cgannon@dgis.dtic.dla.mil.
