Sponsored by the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), the Air Force Institute of Technology established the Digital Innovation & Integration Center of Excellence (DIICE) in October 2023. The Center directly supports AFMC's Digital Materiel Management (DMM) goals to accelerate integrated capability delivery across the materiel lifecycle and functional disciplines.

DIICE will generate digital solutions centered on model-based systems integration efforts that result in improved execution of weapon acquisitions and support across the AFMC enterprise in support of the warfighter.

DIICE focuses on four lines of effort: education excellence, research and technology transfer, consulting, and best practices.
