DTIC gets information from the defense community, for the defense community,about defense and beyond. DoD Directive 3200.12 mandates that DoD research, including that done in-house and/or by contractors and grantees, should be part of the DTIC collection. In other words, if there is great technology in DoD, DTIC should have that information for others (that includes you) to use and build upon.
