Trident Spectre Experimentation
Trident Spectre is the Special Operations Innovation Proving Ground. It is an annual exercise focused on the integration of operations, intelligence, and technology, and comes together as a result of continuous planning and collaboration with joint inter-agency stakeholders. At the Core of TS planning are operational capability needs from the Special Operations and Intelligence Community.
Trident Spectre is executed according to a deliberate process that involves the solicitation, screening, nomination, and selection of viable projects for active experimentation during a two-week exercise. Projects that achieve validation and address operational needs and priorities have the opportunity to be referred to USSOCOM, Joint and FVEY partners for partnered efforts or potential acquisition activities such as:
- USSOCOM Collaborative Research and Development Agreements (CRADA)
- Non-traditional acquisition through Other Transaction Authorities (OTA)
- FAR-based acquisition instruments, including a tailored Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO)
Our Task
- Develop and maintain an experimentation network for the experimentation exercise
- Activate and manage the digital planning for all the exercise events and milestones
