Bill Thompson
As a CW4 in the U.S. military, Bill Thompson held a singular and enduring mission: identifying, evaluating, and advancing breakthrough technologies in support of national security. His career included work within the government’s most technically advanced organizations, including serving as a cyber and network operations advisor and program evaluator at DARPA. By working alongside innovators at the highest levels inside government, Bill delivered on that mission and helped shape how emerging technologies were evaluated and deployed.
Outside government service, Bill applies those same skills and technical principles to constructive and creative pursuits. Spartan Forge is an app for hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts, supporting a range of outdoor pursuits through advanced planning, mapping, and AI. It repurposes concepts originally developed for conflict into a tool that promotes individualism, self-reliance, and reconnection with family and the natural world.
What is Spartan Forge?
The targeting cycle used in Iraq was called “Find, Fix, Finish” or F3 for short, this cycle soon evolved into F3EAD or "Find, Fix, Finish, Exploit, Analyze, and Disseminate".
At Spartan Forge, our goal is to automate that intelligence collection process as much as possible. We want to draw meaningful conclusions within the context of “Find, Fix, Finish” to help the hunter meet their deer harvest goals whatever they may be. Whether you are scouting, planning or executing the hunt, start a targeting cycle with Spartan Forge and engineer the pursuit.
THE BEGINNING
At Spartan Forge, our goal is to automate the intelligence collection process as much as possible. We want to draw meaningful conclusions within the context of “Find, Fix, Finish” to help the hunter meet their deer harvest goals, whatever they may be.
NEURAL NETWORK
When it comes to data collection and analysis, the larger the sample set the better. At Spartan Forge, we have partnered with folks who have been gathering deer collared data for years and used that data to build the most robust neural network ever created for deer movement.
PARALYSIS BY ANALYSIS
When it comes to hunting, we can over analyze ourselves into rabbit holes. Utilizing Spartan Forge to quickly check weather, deer predictions and mapping tools will shorten your thinking cycles and give you the confidence to pick the tree that's best for that day.
