At think‑tank ICRD (International Center for Research and Development), we treat the intersection of society, technology, and defense‑oriented security as a strategic frontier requiring rigorous, evidence‑based analysis. Our website details the scope of our research programs, the methodology behind our publications, and the ways stakeholders can engage with our work. By informing policy, strengthening institutional resilience, and guiding responsible technology deployment, we turn scholarly insight into real‑world impact.

From Insight to Impact: Policy for a Secure Future
We aren’t merely researchers; we are architects of societal resilience. Our think‑tank dissects complex technological threats and designs security strategies that protect the most vulnerable populations. By applying deep, longitudinal data analysis to rapid‑response policy briefs, we equip governments and NGOs to navigate the ethical complexities of emerging technologies. Our goal is simple: ensure innovation serves humanity, not just markets. We build the defenses of tomorrow today.


Policy, Autonomy, and the Future of Conflict
Our think-tank spearheads research on the convergence of artificial intelligence and advanced robotics.
We analyze security implications of autonomous systems—from military use to critical‑infrastructure defense—and develop policy frameworks for ethical AI governance that inform international standards. Using high‑fidelity simulations and probabilistic risk analysis, we model loss‑of‑control scenarios to preempt catastrophic risk before it destabilizes society. Our goal is to secure the technological frontier and mitigate existential threats.
Our mission is to shape resilient, inclusive policies at the intersection of societal impacts, technology, and security.
We develop ethical frameworks focused on transparency, bias mitigation, and human oversight, and we produce regulatory roadmaps that turn technical foresight into actionable public policy.
Our research quantifies the societal and economic consequences of emerging technologies—ranging from energy markets, defense spending to estimated GDP growth—through interdisciplinary literature reviews, stakeholder workshops, and scenario‑based modelling.
