WASHINGTON - Integer Technologies, Columbia, South Carolina, is awarded a $23.1 million cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for the Threat Resilient Integrated Defense for Enhanced Naval Technologies (TRIDENT) program. This contract provides for science and technology investigations into threat-informed zero trust architecture (ZTA) frameworks tailored to the cyber-physical security needs of shipboard power systems. Integer Technologies is forming a team with Florida State University and the Center for Advanced Power Systems to perform the work.
The ZTA will enable naval platforms to maintain situational awareness of their cyber-physical state, dynamically adjust their cyber posture, and fight through adversarial attacks while preserving system performance. The program will address the unique constraints of naval power systems, including low-latency requirements for integrated power systems and the integration of legacy and modern equipment.
Work will be performed in Columbia, South Carolina, and is expected to be completed in October 2030. The Office of Naval Research, Arlington, Virginia, is the contracting activity (N0001427C1303).
