The Department of Defense (DOD) knowledge worker needs rapid access to select information contained in government, defense, and aerospace databases. In the United States, information of use to defense and aerospace specialists are contained in multiple government databases as well as in commercial databases. Policy and technology strategies are addressed, which are being developed by the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) to foster better interaction among government, defense, and aerospace databases. To improve interactions, considerable progress was made by evolving standards in communication protocols, operating systems of computers, database management systems, and command structures, but it is the Defense Gateway technology that permits interconnectivity and interoperability in the interim period. This makes it possible to make the growing number of heterogeneous databases available to the defense community in a progressively more unified and automated manner. The results of several projects that introduce a high degree of information robotics to Information Resource Management (IRM) with substantial increases in human productivity are described.
