Coastal Trident is conducted to apply the observations,
recommendations, and best practices identified during scenario-based response and recovery operations
Evaluate current response plans, systems, and TTPs
Provide a relevant test venue for field experimentation of developing and transitional technologies

9. Coastal Trident 2014
CT-14 will be conducted to explore the homeland security, homeland defense, emergency response, and emergency management issues associated with the threat of a rogue vessel targeting critical port and maritime infrastructure
Sponsored by federal and private sector research funds to study processes, concepts of employment, and technology applications
This program represents a collaborative opportunity for federal, state, and local emergency response and management organizations to validate plans, capabilities, and increase proficiency in an operationally relevant scenario
CT-14 activities will be a combination of field experimentation, tabletop and full-scale exercise events
Modular construct will facilitate control over interaction between program activities
Multiple-venue, multi-jurisdictional exercise will permit accomplishment of a variety of strategic and operational objectives
