Robert L. Forward
American physicist and science-fiction author at Hughes Research Laboratories, credited as one of the first researchers to propose using the Casimir effect as a potential energy source, and author of the US Air Force's 1996 "Mass Modification Experiment Definition Study" (Phillips Laboratory).
Matters to this vault as the institutional-precedent figure Hal Puthoff's own 2010 DIA-era paper cites directly: Forward's Air Force study is named as the prior federal research line Puthoff's zero-point-energy propulsion work extends, making him a second named physicist (alongside Andrei Sakharov on the purely theoretical side) in the vault's DoD fringe-physics-funding thread.
