ANTX-COASTAL TRIDENT 2024
In the summer of 2024, ANTX-Coastal Trident will be conducted to facilitate concept demonstrations and field experiments in the following technology areas:
- Critical infrastructure security, threat mitigation, and incident response
- In-service engineering, maintenance and sustainment of surface fleet and expeditionary combat systems
- Port and maritime domain awareness, data fusion and decision support
- Augmented and virtual reality modeling, simulation and digital engineering
- Unmanned systems applications, implementation and countermeasures
Why Should I Participate in ANTX-CT24?
ANTX-CT24 assessments are intended to provide actionable information to the
Navy on promising technologies, as well as inform developers where their products have or have not held value in the context of the missions of the Navy and its interagency partners.
The diverse environments for technical demonstration and experimentation
provided through ANTX offer distinct benefits for stakeholders and participants:
- Fleet and Interagency Partners – Obtain “hands-on” or “over-the-shoulder” exposure to developing technical solutions, a voice in the value and suitability of new technologies and an opportunity to explore new tactics and operational concepts enabled by emerging technologies.
- Warfare Centers and Government Labs – Collaborate with industry and inform technical development, gain insight into warfighter and end user needs and obtain early access to industry and academic research to facilitate technology transfer and transition.
- Program Offices and Resource Sponsors – Asses novel concepts and technical applications, allowing for a preliminary “test drive” of potential solutions to near-term needs and a venue to inform and prioritize technical investment.
- Industry and Academia – Gain unfiltered exposure and visibility with end users and program representatives. A low-risk, consequence-free learning environment allows for direct feedback, representing a unique opportunity to align development efforts with communicated needs.
How Do I Participate in ANTX-CT24?
If you are interested in proposing a project for ANTX-CT24, please submit a completed “ANTX-CT24 Project Proposal” form to the Principal Investigator, Brendan Applegate, for consideration. Project proposals will be evaluated by their timeliness in submission, research value, alignment with operational and technical needs and available resources.
Want to discuss your idea? Attend the ANTX-Coastal Trident 2024 – Concept Development Meeting on November 29, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm, at 105 E. Port Hueneme Rd., Port Hueneme 93041.
