Research

Four programs.
One shared workflow.

Frontier Security Institute runs four research lanes — each scoped to a distinct decision the National Security Enterprise faces, each drawing on the same engine of aggregation, translation, and synthesis.

Research programs

The four lanes.

Each lane operates independently, but draws on the same engine: aggregation across labs, translation across the public–private gap, and synthesis into formats decision-makers can act on.

01

Cross-lab synthesis

Lab Distillation

Aggregating findings across frontier labs that cannot legally share with each other. Whitewashing attribution. Producing usable synthesis for federal decision-makers.

02

Pentagon-facing

Test & Evaluation

with Scale AI

A framework for evaluating frontier models against specific national security use cases. Built with Scale AI; oriented to the Pentagon's acquisition and T&E processes.

03

Greenfield research

Strategic Deterrence

Foundational work on how frontier AI affects strategic equilibrium between nuclear powers. The first sustained research program on AI in the deterrence equation.

04

Federal cohort

Policymaker Education

with George Mason University

A week-long certification for federal policymakers — on AI policy, not vendor tooling. Co-developed with George Mason's Schar School of Policy and Government.

Publications

Forthcoming.
