Easy Access to Data The timescale timescale Noun the period of time within which events occur or are due to occur timescale n → délais mpl timescale time (Brit) n for getting the answers to operational and technical questions is getting shorter all the time. Efficient access to accurate technical information is vital to ensure that warfighters today and tomorrow have superior and affordable technology. In 2004, DDR & E initiated a request for a single Web site that offers tools to take technical data that have been and continue to be collected, and make them into knowledge that can support decision making. DTIC responded to this request by launching the R & E Portal in April 2005. The R & E Portal allows every DoD program manager, planner, researcher, acquisition professional, tester, and operator find, from their desktop computer: * All current R & E electronic information * R & E points of contact * Scientific and technical news from 2,300 news sources * AT & L links, such as Science & Technology Acquisition Workforce. Overall, the Portal improves government-to-government as well as government-to-business communication within the DoD and the larger government communities. Portal users, who are at all organizational levels from Pentagon managers, planners, and policymakers, to bench-level researchers at DoD laboratories and other research activities, can access comprehensive technical information quickly and easily. * Policy-makers and managers at the Pentagon have easy access to current budget information and the latest congressional developments. * Military service and defense agency managers maintain awareness of communications from the Pentagon and of recent congressional activities that will affect their individual organizations. * Laboratory managers access statistics and financial information of importance. * Researchers can discover details about projects and programs related to their areas of investigation. The R & E Portal is their solution of choice, making the R & E Portal DTIC's number one priority. Explore R & E Portal Applications As a working research tool, the Portal brings together 22 Web applications (quick links to databases) that support the DoD research and development (R & D) strategic planning Strategic planning is an organization's process of defining its strategy, or direction, and making decisions on allocating its resources to pursue this strategy, including its capital and people. and the congressional reporting process, including: * Defense Science and Technology Planning (DSTP DSTP Delaware Student Testing Program DStP Deutsche Staatspartei DSTP Datasocket Transfer Protocol DSTP Data Space Transfer Protocol DSTP Dua Satu Tiga Puluh DSTP Decreasing Saw-Tooth Priority DSTP Draft Site Treatment Plan ), which provides the latest DoD R & D planning documents describing key technology areas and programs * Congressional Budget Queries Tool, which tracks and annotates congressional changes or "markups" to the Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT RDT 1. Renal dialysis treatment 2. Retinal damage threshold & E) budget * Defense Technology Search (DTS (1) (Digital Theatre Sound) A digital audio encoding system used in movie and home theaters. Popularized by the movie Jurassic Park, the six-channel (5. ), which enables a single search request to retrieve information from the Portal contents as well as DTIC's vast collection of scientific and technical information. Defense Science and Technology Planning Want to know the DoD's strategic considerations for technology? Then visit the DSTP Web site in the R & E Portal. This R & E application outlines the defense science and technology strategy for determining appropriate technology, and the basic research plan describing DoD-sponsored fundamental research available to Portal users. Also available for viewing are the defense technology objectives that identify special-emphasis technology, and the defense technology area plan for applied research and advanced technology development. Searching for a joint perspective on technology? The DSTP allows users to access the Joint Warfighting Science and Technology Plan. There, Portal users will find applied research plans and advanced technology development plans in support of priority future joint warfighting capabilities. Congressional Budget Query Tool How important are congressional budget changes to the DoD? According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England, "Congressional marks are of interest throughout the defense enterprise." For this reason, the Congressional Budget Query Tool responds rapidly to changes (or "marks") proposed by Congress to the RDT & E budget. Stored in a database on the R & E Portal are the President's Budget Request data for all DoD RDT & E program elements and marks from the House Armed Services Committee The term Armed Services Committee could refer to:
Defense Technology Search Search across multiple libraries and get back current DoD technical data using the DTS. This tool enables a single search request to retrieve information from the Portal contents as well as DTIC's vast collection of scientific and technical information. In addition to DTIC's historical and ongoing research documentation collections (technical reports, research summaries, and independent research and development), other collections are available, including biological research data, DoD budget data, the DoD Information Analysis Centers' Total Electronic Migration System (TEMS TEMS Terrestrial Ecosystem Monitoring Sites TEMS Tactical Emergency Medical Support TEMS Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension TEMS Tactical Emergency Medical Services (EMS) TEMS Total Electronic Migration System ), and e-Gov (electronic government) data. Users can also conduct a DoD-wide search of all public DoD Web sites, as well as federated resources Federated Resources is the second episode of season two of the television comedy series Robot Chicken.

Upload e-Gov Data The Portal is also the means by which the DoD satisfies the reporting requirements of the Electronic Government Act of 2002. One of the key Portal mechanisms is for the military services and defense agencies to upload e-Gov reporting data, allowing the Department to submit the information in a consistent, accountable manner. John Young Jr., the current DDR & E, supports this effort, since he envisions e-Gov data reuse reuse - Using code developed for one application program in another application. Traditionally achieved using program libraries. Object-oriented programming offers reusability of code via its techniques of inheritance and genericity. as having the ability "to establish return on investment for taxpayer investment and to give project contact points for use in possible collaborative efforts." To that end, the DoD e-Gov database on the Portal provides a centralized cen·tral·ize v. cen·tral·ized, cen·tral·iz·ing, cen·tral·iz·es v.tr. 1.

The library contains consolidated data from inputs submitted by the DoD Services and agencies in response to each annual data call. The current library contains more than 16,000 records on DoD R & E efforts. Information in the library includes responsible and performing organizations and individuals, descriptive information (objective, approach, and progress), associated program elements and their funding, and metrics metrics Managed care A popular term for standards by which the quality of a product, service, or outcome of a particular form of Pt management is evaluated. See TQM. . Supporting the Warfighter The Portal continues to transform data in its next phase of development. A planned e-mail notification system A modern notification system is a combination of software and hardware that provides a means of delivering a message to a set of recipients. For example, notification systems can send an e-mail when a new topic has been added to Wikipedia. will inform users when new R & E information (reports, data, and news) has been added to the Portal. In addition, business intelligence tools will allow its 12,000 registered users to establish relationships or patterns, design and generate reports from data sources, and discover business performance management strategies for using resources effectively With its current 22 Web applications and planned new features, the R & E Portal facilitates all levels of the defense research community as well as other government agencies and private- and academic-sector organizations. Essentially, the centralized, single-sign-on R & E Portal reduces time and effort by providing a wide variety of the latest R & D information. The DoD R & E Portal provides easy access to R & E information and ensures that new technologies get into the hands of the warfighter as quickly as possible. Access to the R & E Portal is controlled by the DTIC registration process and is limited to federal employees and federal contractors.
