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 name="dhs.gov">{{Cite web |url=https://www.dhs.gov/xabout/structure/gc_1224532340996.shtm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2016-07-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118075109/http://www.dhs.gov/xabout/structure/gc_1224532340996.shtm |archive-date=2012-01-18 |dead-url=yes }}</ref>

==Five program areas==
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. It is also the primary research and development organization of the DHS and is headed by the Under Secretary for Science and Technology.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Federal Research and Development Funding: Fy 2010|last=Sargent|first=John|publisher=Congressional Research Service|year=2010|isbn=9781437922691|___location=Washington, D.C.|pages=20}}</ref> In 2010, this directorate requested for $968 million,<ref name=":0" /> which included the proposed $15 million increase to the $74.9 million funding the Command, Control, and Interoperability Division was allocated in 2009.<ref>{{Cite book|title=DHS Directorate of Science and Technology: Key Issues for Congress|
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.

Within the Basic/Futures Research Program are actually two programs. The first is known as the Visual Analytics and Precision Information Environments Program; he second includes the Discrete-Element Computing, Privacy, and Forensics 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.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.dhs.gov/files/programs/gc_1218474924792.shtm#30 |title=
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 name="cyber.st.dhs.gov">http://www.cyber.st.dhs.gov/public/CATCH/Boyd.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref> The Discrete-Element Computing, Privacy, and Forensics Program provides real-time data analysis and decision support against potential threats and imminent disasters.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.dhs.gov/files/programs/gc_1218474924792.shtm#10 |title=

=== 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
