Mission statement:	Conflict Armament Research (CAR) generates unique evidence on weapon supplies into armed conflicts to inform and support effective weapon management and control. CAR is the world’s only organisation to specialise in tracking the supply of weapons into conflict-affected areas and fragile states. CAR is, moreover, the only UK-based organisation to focus exclusively on weapon management and control. CAR generates information that is otherwise unavailable. CAR specialises in tracking the illicit supply of conventional weapons, ammunition, and related materiel into armed conflicts. CAR partners with governments, international, regional, and non-governmental organisations to conduct in-field investigations. By documenting weapons in situ, CAR provides policy makers with the dynamic and quantifiable information required to understand weapon transfers in detail and, thereby, develop effective, evidence-based arms control policy. CAR investigates to understand, to support, and ultimately, provide tools for change. CAR provides dynamic, quantified data necessary to generate effective weapon management and control policy. CAR is committed to working towards understanding the landscape of illicit weapon flows and to mitigating the supply of conventional arms to unauthorised users, including insurgent and terrorist forces.
