TrustedDM(TM) Secures Forward-Deployed Additive Manufacturing at Trident Warrior, Demonstrating Trusted Operations in Austere Environments

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / October 22, 2025 / At the Navy’s recent Trident Warrior exercise in San Diego, AURA Technologies’ TrustedDM™ played a critical role securing a forward-deployed metal 3D printing capability designed to improve logistics agility, supply chain resilience, and operational readiness in contested environments. In collaboration with Dynovas, the team demonstrated a mobile, self-contained manufacturing lab featuring an ExOne metal printer, capable of producing mission-critical parts in days rather than months.

TrustedDM™ enabled repeatable, trusted operations, securing sensitive digital workflows-even in disconnected and austere conditions.

This capability directly supports broader Department of Defense priorities to strengthen field-level and supply chain resilience, distributed sustainment, and secure digital manufacturing. The TrustedDM demonstration showcases how modular, hardware-based solutions can also enable trusted capabilities at the tactical edge.

“TrustedDM was purpose-built for forward-deployed, high-stakes missions where trust and resilience are non-negotiable,” said Anna Bennett, CEO of AURA Technologies. “We’re proud to see it deployed in a way that directly supports the DoD’s modernization and logistics transformation goals.”

The Trident Warrior demonstration reduced time-to-part from 3-6 months to just a few days, enabling ships and expeditionary units to fabricate components in-theater. The secure mobile lab combined additive manufacturing, rugged deployment, and embedded cybersecurity powered by TrustedDM.
