Terry Benton Bollinger (born February 6, 1955) is an American computer scientist who works at the MITRE Corporation. In 2003 he wrote an influential report for the U.S. Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) in which he showed that free and open source software (FOSS) had already become a vital part of the United States Department of Defense software infrastructure, and that banning or restricting its use would have had serious detrimental impacts on DoD security, research capabilities, operational capabilities, and long-term cost efficiency. His report ended a debate about whether FOSS should be banned from U.S. DoD systems, and in time helped lead to the current official U.S. DoD policy Clarifying Guidance Regarding Open Source Software, Oct 16, 2009, David M. Wennergren, DoD CIO (Acting), Department of Defense, 6000 Defense Pentagon, Washington DC 20301-6000. of treating FOSS and proprietary software as equals. The report is referenced on the DoD CIO web site Free Open Source Software, Chief Information Officer, U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Defense, 6000 Defense Pentagon, Washington DC 20301-6000. and has been influential in promoting broader recognition of the importance of free and open source software in government circles.

From 2004 to 2010, Bollinger was the chief technology analyst for the U.S. DoD Defense Venture Catalyst Initiative (DeVenCI), U.S. DoD Defense Venture Catalyst Initiative (DeVenCI) an effort created by the Secretary of Defense after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. DeVenCI selects qualified applicants from leading venture capital firms to contribute voluntary time and expertise to finding emerging commercial companies and technologies that could be relevant to DoD technology needs.
Bollinger currently works full-time for the Office of Naval Research (ONR) research arm of the Marine Corps, ONR Code 30: Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare & Combating Terrorism Department where he helps assess and support research into the science of autonomy, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
