Defilade Insights
Research and analysis on defence innovation, and the systems that shape it.
Defilade Insights is our research arm. We study the institutions, procurement, capital and policy that decide whether new technology becomes capability, in Sweden, across Europe and NATO, and in Ukraine. We publish our findings openly for the people who shape the system.
