Research ServicesDistrict of Columbia, United States51-200 Employees

The Center for Advanced Defense Studies (C4ADS) is a nonprofit research organization that provides data-driven analysis and evidence-based reporting on global conflict and transnational security issues. It integrates information from diverse languages, regions, and sources, supplementing this with field research conducted in conflict zones and fragile states. Based in Washington, District of Columbia, the organization operates as a mid-sized nonprofit within the research services sector.

It engages local and international audiences with analyses on conflict and security issues. The organization aims to fill gaps left by traditional public-sector and market-driven research institutions. A recent development is the April 15, 2026 partnership between C4ADS and Ayin Media to support the Wildlife Seizure Dashboard in tracing how the RSF and SAF rely on gold mining and smuggling as primary sources of conflict financing.
