Trident Warrior 2005 Naval Exercise Builds In Risk, Experimentation

An announcement from secure messaging vendor Sigaba noted that the recent Trident Warrior ’05 annual FORCEnet exercise had experimentation and risk were built into the event, rather than being strictly a demonstration or showcase of proven technologies. That’s certainly a plus. Apparently, the primary goal was to deliver a supportable, sustainable warfighting capability, complete with Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and support training. The Sigaba secure email technology, deployed on all participating vessels, was being evaluated for potential use as a tactical messaging solution in the Allied-Coalition environment.

FORCEnet is a component of the USA’s new Seapower 21 naval doctrine. For more information re: Trident Warrior ’05 goals, participating ships, and other relevant information, see Sigaba’s corporate release.
