The Compatibility and Interoperability Committee (CIC) serves as the focal point
for the coordination of interoperability and compatibility issues identified by
the IAB. The CIC consolidates and prioritizes equipment, standards, training and
operational interoperability and compatibility concerns identified by the IAB SubGroups
and committees. The CIC works in coordination with the Standards Coordination (SCC)
and Science and Technology (S&T) Committees and the SubGroups to develop interoperability
and compatibility requirements and identify potential solutions.
Roles and Functions
The CIC complements and supports the standards development activities of the SCC
and the technology development recommendations of the S&T Committee of the InterAgency
Board for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability by:
- Coordinating and consolidating interoperability and compatibility issues identified
by the SubGroups, SCC and S&T Committees,
- Identifying potential solutions in terms of standards, equipment development, training,
or policy requirements to assist the responder community,
- Assisting IAB Committees and SubGroups in identifying specific interoperability
and compatibility issues,
- Providing input to support SCC and S&T Committee activities,
- Drafting studies, white papers and other reports on IAB interoperability and compatibility
issues as needed,
- Summarizing IAB interoperability and compatibility issues, priorities, potential
solutions in the IAB Annual Report.
