The US Department of Homeland Security has awarded a 6-year $30 million grant to Purdue and Rutgers to build a “Center of Excellence in Command, Control and Interoperability”.
Purdue and its team of 14 universities will focus on the Visualization Sciences, while Rutgers will lead the effort’s Data Sciences component. The center has already formed partnerships with local, state and national groups to provide university researchers real-world examples to help test and refine developing technology.
The two teams also represent coalitions of several other schools from around the southeast, and got a head start a few years ago when DHS granted them about $2million to build the “Purdue University Regional Visualization and Analytics Center” (PURVAC).
