Key Objectives of Exercise Trishul 2025
The primary goal of this large-scale exercise is to thoroughly test and validate joint operational procedures, significantly boost interoperability, and solidify networked integration among all participating services. It’s about ensuring every branch of the armed forces can work together as one cohesive unit.
Expect to see a wide range of maritime operations, including sophisticated amphibious landings utilizing vessels like INS Jalashwa and Landing Craft Utility ships. These will be complemented by carrier operations and intricately coordinated air-sea missions executed with the Indian Air Force.
A critical focus of Trishul 2025 will be on advanced joint Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Electronic Warfare (EW), and Cyber Warfare operations.
