This official history was originally printed in very small numbers in 2002. "Defense's Nuclear Agency, 1947-1997" traces the development of the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project (AFSWP), and its descendant government organizations, from its original founding in 1947 to 1997. After the disestablishment of the Manhattan Engineering District (MED) in 1947, AFSWP was formed to provide military training in nuclear weapons' operations. Over the years, its sequential descendant organizations have been the Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) from 1959 to 1971, the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) from 1971 to 1996, and the Defense Special Weapons Agency (DSWA) from 1996 to 1998. In 1998, DSWA, the On-Site Inspection Agency, the Defense Technology Security Administration, and selected elements of the Office of Secretary of Defense were combined to form the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).

The mission of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) is to safeguard the United States and its allies from weapons of mass destruction (WMD) (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and high-yield explosives, or CBRNE) by providing capabilities to reduce, eliminate and counter the threat and mitigate its effects. The DoD created DTRA as a combat support agency to focus department capabilities in the fight against WMD. DTRA supports the three pillars of the National Strategy on Combating WMD: nonproliferation, counterproliferation and consequence management. DTRIAC is sponsored by DTRA (or its various predecessors). DDR & E established the DASA Data Center (DASIAC) in 1964 which was renamed DTRIAC in 2000.
