Operation: Trident Moon

Mission

To advance maritime domain awareness and intelligence fusion in support of national security, law enforcement, and global stability. Operation TRIDENT MOON unites cutting-edge analytics, satellite telemetry, and open-source intelligence to expose illicit maritime networks and guard the world’s oceans from transnational threats.

‍

Program Objectives

1.) Data Integration & Fusion: Develop a scalable framework to aggregate AIS, satellite, and compliance datasets into a unified analytic environment capable of revealing hidden vessel behaviors and high-risk maritime patterns.

2.) Advanced Analytics & Automation: Implement behavioral-detection models that identify AIS blackouts, spoofing, ship-to-ship transfers, and abnormal routing—transforming raw telemetry into intelligence.

3.) Mission-Focused Intelligence Products: Generate tailored intelligence reports, dashboards, and alerts that support federal agencies, port authorities, and defense partners in counter-IUU, counter-smuggling, and sanctions-evasion operations.

4.) Partnerships & Collaboration: Intergrate with government, academic, and commercial entities to enhance data quality, extend regional coverage, and align analytic outputs with inter-agency mission priorities.

5.) Secure Infrastructure & Compliance: Deploy TRIDENT MOON capabilities on cleared or accredited cloud environments, ensuring data integrity, security, and compliance with U.S. government standards.

6.) Innovation & Continuous Improvement: Pursue ongoing R&D in AI, ML, and sensor fusion to stay ahead of evolving maritime threats and expand operational capability into new domains.
