He has won first place twice in the Navy’s Oldest Warfighting Contest with articles titled “Teaching Elephants to Swim,” and “Sunk Cost Sink Innovation.” Dr. Pierce was involved in several technological and warfighting innovations including championing Technological Component Network (TCN) that supported NETCENTRIC Warfare and the Expeditionary Strike Group innovation. Dr. Pierce was featured on the front cover of the August 2005 FEDTECH for his disruptive technology research on the GWOT. A recent interview of Dr. Pierce discussing decloaking terrorists in Government Computer News can be found at http://www.gcn.com/24_5/interview/35183-1.html.

In June 2006 he published an article titled, “Disruptive Military Innovation and the Perfect Opponent.” He was the key speaker on Disruptive Military Innovation at Naval-Industry R&D Conference 2004.
