Mission & Goals
Challenger Research is a strategic intelligence and risk advisory firm operating at the intersection of security, technology, resources, and policy. We integrate intelligence across space systems, uncrewed platforms, climate and environmental risk, and critical mineral supply chains to identify strategic exposure and dependencies. Our objective is to provide independent analysis that supports decision-makers in navigating the convergence of technology, governance, and geopolitics.
