A force field is an item of defensive technology used to protect an object person, or area. They are mostly employed to deflect outward forces, but can also be used to keep things in, such as oxygen, or heat.

- The Doctor's TARDIS had a force field generator. The Doctor's recorder was protected from being converted into antimatter, because it was inside of the force field generator. The Doctors gave the recorder to Omega, causing his antimatter world to be destroyed, along with the TARDIS's force field generator. The Doctor decided to remain on Earth until the force field generator was rebuilt, even though the Time Lords had lifted his exile on Earth.(DW: The Three Doctors) By the Doctor's ninth incarnation, he no longer had a force field generator, and instead used a tribophysical waveform macrokinetic extrapolator.(DW: The Parting of the Ways)
