Offerings
Data products and analysis, built for decisions.
Three datasets and a publication, each kept current by the team that built it, with analysts on hand when you need more than data.
Uncrewed Systems & Robotics Database
The reference library for uncrewed hardware.
USRD profiles the uncrewed vehicles and mobile robots in service and in development worldwide, with the same fields for every one. Compare a fixed-wing drone with a quadcopter, or a ground robot with a surface vessel, without reconciling five spec sheets first.

Federal Defense Spending Intelligence
Follow every defense dollar aimed at uncrewed systems.
Each year we pull every uncrewed line out of the Defense Department's procurement and RDT&E budget, then follow it from the President's request through the NDAA and appropriations to the final number. You see what the government plans to buy, and how that plan changes.
