Knowledge Transition Advancement Project (KTAP)Implemented under
the Command, Control and Interoperability Division (CCI) of the DHS
Science and Technology Directorate
Overarching goal: Use a practitioner-driven approach to
identify, investigate, and institute new science and technology to
inform and advance prevention, preparedness and response
activities
KTAPs Current Projects:Critical Infrastructure Inspection
Management System (CIIMS:MD & LAPD)Sea, Lake and Overland Surge
from Hurricanes (SLOSH)Incident Management and Emergency Operations
RequirementsCritical Infrastructure Protection Data and Analysis
System (CIPDAS) National Information Exchange Model
(NIEM)Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS)Identity

Working with practitioners to . . .
analyze and specify requirements define and articulate their
needs formulate recommendations assess alternatives

practitioners needs
The Knowledge Transition Advancement Project (KTAP)Committed to
accelerating the delivery of enhanced capabilities to meet
requirements and fill capability gapsProviding leadership, research
and educational opportunities Employing a practitioner-driven
approachUsing a systems engineering approach
The overall approach is based on our Systems Engineering
approach in which we use some of our most experienced scientist and
engineers and compliment them (actually ground them smile), with
subject matter experts who have extensive operational/real world
experience. And because we have the practitioners working on the
projects with the engineers and scientists, we never lose sight of
the whole system which is the people, who then use processes and
then technology.
The is core reason why our projects under the S and T KTAP
Program are experiencing such great success (i.e., CIIMS).Note,
these are benefits to S & T
