“The FORGE, or Future Operations Research and Global Expertise, is the university’s newest campus-wide enterprise, accelerating the development of dual-use technologies and creating an innovation workforce for both national security and civilian markets. It creates structured pathways for participants to engage in mission-driven innovation that not only drives critical technologies, but still produces a positive global impact.”
