WHO WE ARE

FORCE (Future-Oriented Research and Creative Endeavors) is an ICT research project started by Jacquelyn Ford Morie in 2006. We are dedicated to finding and discovering new military applications of emergent mobile and network technologies. The rapid growth of these commercial sectors has led to some startling innovations that have yet to be leveraged by the military infrastructure. The purpose of our project is to explore the cutting edge of "mobile" and "web 2.0" and the relevance of these technologies to ICT and Army applications.

WHAT WE DO

We have performed both exploratory and applied research in the service of our project. By clicking on the categories above, you can see the abbreviated results of this research, as well as a few examples of our prototype work in bringing ICT content to new mobile/online platforms.

WHAT YOU'LL FIND ON THIS SITE

This site is intended as a display space for our work... a platform for ICT and its partners to review and utilize our findings. Because this site is intended as a "jumping off point", and not an active development portal, not all of our work has been included. By following the links at right, you can access several additional resources we have developed, including the FORCEWiki (in which we are actively documenting our process and discoveries), our customizable web/mobile charts, and our downloadable AXL: iPod prototype. In addition, you can subscribe to our RSS feeds to receive notice of additional content from our team as our research initiative continues.
