On August 6, the U.S. Navy released a request for information (RFI) for the Trident Spectre 25 Exercise. The open submissions period closes August 30.
The purpose of this RFI is to solicit technology experimentation candidates from Research and Development (R&D) organizations, private industry, and academia for inclusion in the Trident Spectre 2025. This exercise is coordinated by Naval Special Warfare Group 8 (NSWG-8) and will be conducted from 31 March – 11 April 2025. Trident Spectre is an annual government exercise that focuses on multi-agency collaboration and integration of operations, intelligence, and technology to share best practices, identify innovative technology, and improve tactical intelligence to meet current and future special operations intelligence technology challenges.
NSWG-8 invites industry, academia, individuals, and Government labs to submit technology experimentation nominations addressing innovative technologies specified by NSWG-8. The intent is to provide participants with the opportunity to gain Special Operations Forces (SOF) insight/perspective and assessments by independent organizations on their particular technologies. Trident Spectre will explore emerging technologies, technical applications, and their potential to provide solutions for future NSW capabilities.
Trident Spectre is the U.S. Naval Special Warfare Innovation Proving Ground. Our core objective is the assessment of critical innovations that enable Special Operations Forces and our partners in the Defense and Intelligence communities to operate in a contested maritime domain. An area of interest are solutions that enable undersea data mesh network enabling near real time data collection and dissemination.
NSWC may determine that a Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) and/or other Broad Agency type Announcement may be necessary for this exercise. In this event, the RFI announcement will be amended with such language and submissions received through the Vulcan submission site may be eligible for awards.
