Armed Services Technical Information Agency (ASTIA)

The Armed Services Technical Information Agency (ASTIA) was a U.S. government organization established to collect, analyze, and distribute technical information related to military projects and research. Its primary goal was to support the U.S. armed forces by ensuring that critical technical data was accessible to military personnel and contractors. ASTIA served as a central resource for scientific and engineering information, promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing within defense-related fields. It played a key role in advancing military technology and capabilities until it was absorbed into the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC).
