The '''Command, Control and Interoperability Division''' is a bureau of the [[United States]] [[Department of Homeland Security]]'s Science and Technology Directorate
▲The '''Command, Control and Interoperability Division''' is a bureau of the [[United States]] [[Department of Homeland Security]]'s Science and Technology Directorate, run by Dr.David Boyd. This division is responsible for creating informative resources(including standards, frameworks, tools, and technologies) that strengthen communications interoperability, improve Internet security, and integrity and accelerate the development of automated capabilities to help identify potential threats to the U.S. The purpose of this division is to enable seamless and secure interactions among homeland security stakeholders. This means enhancing the ability of owners to communicate, share, visualize, analyze and protect information through this practitioner-driven approach. The Command, Control and Interoperability Division's vision is for stakeholders to have comprehensive, real-time, and relevant information to create and maintain a secure and safe nation. <ref>http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/structure/gc_1224532340996.shtm </ref>
The division took over most of the functions envisioned by the U.S. Congress for the Office of Emergency Communications (OEC), which was under the Cybersecurity and Communications unit created by the [[Homeland Security Appropriations Act|Homeland Security Appropriations Act (2007).]]<ref>{{Cite book|title=Public Safety Communications and Spectrum Resources: Policy Issues for Congress|last=Moore|first=Linda|publisher=Congressional Research Service|year=2009|isbn=9781437924695|___location=Washington, D.C.|pages=26}}</ref> These included the coordination of emergency communications planning, preparedness, and response.

==Five Program Areas==▼
The CCID is managed by the [[DHS Directorate for Science and Technology]]. This division works to accomplish it's mission of creating and deploying information resources to enable seamless and secure interactions among homeland security stakeholders. The CCID is organized through five program areas: Basic/Futures Research; Cyber Security; Knowledge Management Tools; Office for Interoperability and Compatibility; and Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Investigative Technologies.▼
The CCID is managed by the [[DHS Directorate for Science and Technology]]. This division works to accomplish its mission of creating and deploying information resources to enable seamless and secure interactions among homeland security stakeholders.

The Basic/Futures Research program area is led by Dr. Joseph Kielman. The program was put in place to conduct long
Within the Basic/Futures Research Program
The Visual Analytics and Precision Information Environments Program uses visually based mathematical methods and computational algorithms to discover, manipulate, or comprehend diverse data. The program also conducts research on novel advanced technologies and techniques for understanding and manipulating information in multiple forms or modes. These techniques tend to include text, video, images, audio, databases, and sensor data. The knowledge found through this program helps to anticipate terrorist incidents and/or catastrophic events.
The Discrete-Element Computing, Privacy, and Forensics Program consists of software algorithms and hardware architectures that access, process and manage multiple types and modes of information. This program assesses threats and consequences, ensuring information privacy and securing the cyber infrastructure while protecting telecommunications interoperability.<ref
===Cyber
The CCID Cyber Security Program Area is run by Dr. Douglas Maughan. The program specializes in
Cyber Security has three program areas within the overall program: Information Infrastructure Security (IIS), Cyber Security Research Tools and Techniques (RTT), and Next Generation Technologies (NGT.) <ref
There were also separate activities and programs within the Cyber Security program area. These consist of Defense Technology Experimental Research (DETER)Testbed: Department of Homeland Security Secure Wireless Access Prototype (DSWAP: Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) Project: IronKey: Linking the Oil and Gas Industry to Improve Cyber Security (LOGIIC): Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program (P25 CAP): Protected Repository for the Defense of Infrastructure against Cyber Threats (PREDICT.)
=== Knowledge Management Tools===
The Knowledge Management Tools program area of Command, Control, and Interoperability is led by Dr. John Hoyt and provides knowledge management capabilities to reduce the risk of terrorist attacks, prepare for natural and man-made disasters, and provide an effective response to these disasters. Knowledge Management Tools also develops new tools, devices, and methods to process and analyze massive amounts of information that are widely dispersed and are found in multiple forms

One is the Digital Ink Library Project. This project is led by Shane Cullen and was successfully transitioned to the United States Secret Service (USSS) in January 2009. The CID worked with United States Secret Service (USSS) forensic investigators to enhance mission effectiveness by digitizing the complete archive of ink samples. As a result, ink sample matching takes seconds as opposed to hours or days, and irreplaceable inks remain secure.
Another project is the RealEyes Project. RealEyes is a cutting-edge technology that enables personal digital assistant (PDA) devices or cell phones to send real-time video and
