TICOM, short for Target Intelligence Committee, was a British
(later: Anglo-American) project to find and seize German technology, ranging

It ran alongside other Allied efforts to extract German scientific and
technological assets after the war, including Operation Paperclip,
Operation Alsos and operation Surgeon [1].
