Well I've not come across it in my ten years or so in defence research
nor in my capacity as member of a government advisory committee on
defence science nor as national representative on a NATO technology
group... That's not to say they're not an important part of the US
defence structure, they're just not part of what I do. Clearly Gregory is
the expert here!

However, what I can say very definitely is that given I didn't know what
IDA stood for with my background the idea that not knowing about the IDA
means somebody didn't learn much in a phd is just plain wrong.
