The Aeronautical Chart Information Center (or ACIC) was a United States Air Force organisation headquartered in St. Louis, USA and in Europe. In August 1952, ACIC was created by merging the Aeronautical Chart and Information Service, established in Washington, D.C., and the Aeronautical Chart Plant, located in St. Louis, Missouri. The ACIC, part of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, consolidated all the services and facilities in St. Louis. In 1972, the ACIC was folded into the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) and renamed the DMA Aerospace Center.
