SURVIAC is the DoD focal point for nonnuclear survivability/vulnerability data, information, methodologies, models and analysis relating to U.S. and foreign aeronautical and surface systems.

SURVIAC's scope covers the survivability of allied and other non-adversary systems to threat weapons as well as the effectiveness of U.S. weapons against foreign systems.

Nonnuclear weapons include conventional missiles and guns, directed energy weapons, and chemical/biological weapons.

Weapon systems include fixed and rotary-winged aircraft, both manned and unmanned, missiles, tanks, trucks, armored personnel carriers, artillery, radar vans, ships, and spacecraft. Data holdings include relevant survivability and lethality information on acquisition, detection, tracking, launch, fly-out and fuzing characteristics, the countermeasures and counter-countermeasures employed, and terminal effects, system design, performance and operational information; acoustics, infrared, optical, electro-optical and radar signatures; combat damage and repair; and component probability of kill given a hit (Pk/h) data and combat history data.

Homeland Security encompasses intelligence and warnings; border and transportation security; domestic counterterrorism; protecting critical infrastructures; defending against catastrophic threats, and emergency preparedness and response.

SURVIAC is a DoD Information Analysis Center (IAC) sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) with support from several organizations including the  Joint Aircraft Survivability Program Office (JASPO) and Joint Technical Coordinating Group on Munitions Effectiveness (JTCG/ME).

SURVIAC is supported with facilities and a Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) from the Aerospace Survivability and Safety Flight, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio and the 55th Contracting Squadron at Offutt AFB, NE.
