Data-driven insights for national security and defense
Asteroid Decision Science LLC brings PhD-level rigor and operational defense experience together to solve complex problems. Founded by a professor with prior service at INDOPACOM, we specialize in applying advanced social science methods — from survey experiments to big data analytics and AI — to real-world challenges in defense and national security.
Unlike large consultancies, we operate as a lean, senior-led firm. Clients work directly with senior researchers and practitioners, ensuring rapid, cost-effective results without sacrificing analytical depth. Our expertise and relationships in the Indo-Pacific region, combined with methodological expertise and innovation, give us a unique edge in supporting U.S. government and partner-nation decision-making.
Information Operations & Influence Measurement: Design and execute experiments to test whether information campaigns and media (blue, red or green) shift real world attitudes and behavior.
Security Cooperation & Partner-Nation Support: Evaluate U.S. cooperation (training, transfers, exercises) as well partner-nation defense reforms and investments to assess capacity growth, local perceptions, and adversary messaging.
Public Opinion & Political Context Analysis: Conduct surveys and experiments to capture how publics and elites in key countries interpret deterrence signals, alliance commitments, and crisis scenarios.
Campaign Effectiveness: Go beyond correlations, applying advanced causal inference methods to determine whether campaigns, programs, or policies are truly moving the needle.
Indo-Pacific Expertise: Deep field experience in Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, PRC and the broader region to provide realistic, timely, and grounded analysis of both allies and adversaries.
