Abstract

The FoRMA projects are commissioned by the Swedish Armed Forces and have been carried out by FOI. FoRMA supports the Armed Forces long term planning process. During the past year the project focused partly on giving direct support to the long term planning process by helping to describe strategic trends in different fields. Another important activity has been to develop a new computerized tool that is to calculate the cost of future force structures. Two other activities have been starting the development of new planning scenarios and an evaluation of CHIMERA, a British Excel-based tool for producing and evaluating force structures. A number of activities with the purpose of preparing for the war gaming activities planned for next year have also been done. The work has been done in close cooperation with the client (the Armed Forces). For the continuation of the project it is important to find a good mix of activities such as knowledge building and process development and activities that are more aimed at directly supporting the Swedish Armed Forces long term planning process.
