The Multiple Threat Alert Center (MTAC) is a fusion center of the US Navy , in which information about enemy espionage , criminal or terrorist activities and other threats from Navy and Marines troops and facilities of the US armed forces is brought together.
The MTAC is housed at NCIS and was created in 2002 after the attack on the USS Cole (2000) from the Navy Anti-Terrorist Alert Center (ATAC), founded in 1983 . It uses the global presence of NCIS to gather and compile available information on threats. Since September 15, 2011, the MTAC has been located in the new NCIS headquarters on Marine Corps Base Quantico in the Russell Knox Building. Before moving to Virginia, the MTAC was the only federal agency fusion center in the District of Columbia, alongside the FBI's (Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task Force) fusion center .
