PRODUCTS & SERVICES
NQM Defence specialises in publishing intelligence reports and analysis papers on global defence, intelligence, and international security issues
Using intelligence allows us to have a better understanding of the world we live in and helps to identify global security issues and threats. Our intelligence reports and analysis papers give key strategic decision makers the necessary tools and information they need for international defence, security, and geopolitical solutions. We conduct a wide range of research on defence, intelligence, and security related topics published either as individual papers or funded research projects.

PROGRAMMES
China
​
Since the mid-90s China’s military has been undergoing a high profile modernisation process that has seen the military shifting its emphasis from a domestic land based force to that of a naval and maritime power. Our China programme provides a focus on China's military development and the impact this has on the wider Asia region.
Russia
​
Russia remains one of the world's most formidable military powers, with a long history of strategic influence across Eurasia. Since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Moscow has reshaped Europe's security landscape, reignited Cold War-era tensions, and forced NATO to adapt rapidly. Our Russia programme analyses Russia's military doctrine, the ongoing war in Ukraine, military capabilities, and the wider geopolitical consequences for Europe.
The Middle East
​
Rich in energy resources and home to diverse cultures, the Middle East has long been shaped by historical rivalries, religious divisions, and eternal interventions. Our Middle East programme provides in-depth analysis of the key military and security dynamics shaping the region.
International Security: Terrorism & Armed Conflict
​
Terrorism and armed conflict continue to shape the global security landscape, destabilising regions, displacing populations, and challenging the international order. From state-led wars to asymmetric threats posed by non-state actors, the consequences are far reaching. Our International Security programme studies what impact security issues such as armed conflict and terrorism have
on the international stage.
