The University of Central Florida’s Research Park will be conducting a six-hour anti-terrorism training exercise on Thursday, Sept. 10.

The U.S Army, along with Orange County Fire Rescue and others, will be combining efforts during an exercise mock terrorist attack on the Orlando Tech Center and select buildings on Research Parkway.

“Commuters and media are advised that the exercise will produce noise and law enforcement activity in and around the Orlando Tech Center, but it is only an exercise and does not constitute a real emergency. There will also be some activity in the parking lot of University Tower on Research Parkway, where emergency vehicles will be staged,” a UCF Police Department release stated.

The exercise will carry on between 6 a.m. and noon. Access to the Orlando Tech Center will be limited but Research Parkway and other roads nearby will remain open.

This is a closed exercise. Media and public cannot attend.

“The U.S. Army Research Laboratory is leading the exercise, which will not only give local and federal agencies the opportunity to work together, but is also a requirement of military installations around the country to ensure readiness for any emergency,” the release said.
