Interoperable Communications Technical Assistance Program (ICTAP)
As the lead Federal agency responsible for strengthening the Nation's response to a terrorist weapon of mass destruction (WMD), ODP can provide true interoperable
communications support for local and State first responder agencies through the provision of various types of technical assistance. As part of this mission, ODP administers
the Interoperable Communications Technical Assistance Program (ICTAP).
ICTAP is a technical assistance program designed to enhance interoperable communications
between local, State, and Federal emergency responders and public safety officials, and is associated with ODP's Urban Areas Security Initiative (UASI) grant
program. The goal of the ICTAP program is to enable local public safety agencies to communicate as they prevent or respond to a WMD attack. ICTAP also leverages
and works with other Federal, State, and local interoperability efforts whenever possible to enhance the overall capacity for agencies and individuals to
communicate with one another.
