Aries Intelligence is now accepting submissions for publication.

What We're Looking For

We are building a public, open-access library of serious, field-informed thinking on the evolving nature of modern conflict, power, and security. We publish original analysis, conceptual frameworks, and commentary across domains that are shaping the future of warfare and strategic competition.

Key themes include, but are not limited to:

  • Electronic warfare, C-EW doctrine, and spectrum-driven survivability

  • Geoeconomics, commodities, and strategic statecraft

  • Dual-use technology, defence innovation, and frontier systems

  • Irregular warfare, proxy dynamics, and grey zone competition

  • Conflict forecasting, escalation modelling, and frontier risk

  • Telecoms, ISR, 6G, AI infrastructure, and information control

  • Cyber operations, drone warfare, and contested digital terrain

Structured analysis, case studies, or conceptual models drawn from field experience, technical understanding, or institutional knowledge. Ideal for shaping doctrine, risk posture, or capability development.

Who Should Submit

We welcome contributors with real-world experience, deep subject knowledge, or a serious body of work across defence, intelligence, finance, and geopolitical risk. If your work sits at the intersection of conflict, strategy, and systems — we want to hear from you.

Ideal contributors include:

  • Military and security professionals (serving or retired)

  • Intelligence analysts, OSINT practitioners, and financial intelligence (FININT) specialists

  • Electronic warfare, cyber, and drone warfare operators

  • Weapons systems experts, armament analysts, and technical assessors

  • Geopolitical risk consultants, regional specialists, and field researchers

  • Traders, market analysts, and institutional finance professionals

  • AML/KYC and financial crime investigators

  • Defence technologists, engineers, and innovation leads

  • Policy advisors, legislative researchers, and strategic planners

  • Academic researchers, PhD students, and independent scholars

  • Think tank affiliates, national security fellows, and strategy consultants

  • Journalists and ex-reporters with experience in defence, economics, tech, or conflict

We are especially interested in submissions that bridge disciplines — military and finance, cyber and politics, drones and doctrine. If you’ve lived it, studied it, built it, or broken it down — this is your platform.

We’re here for serious thinking that moves the conversation forward.

🔐 Publishing Notes

All submissions must be original.

  • Authors retain rights to republish, but Aries Intelligence will credit and host the work unless otherwise requested.

  • We use a simplified Chicago Style; no footnotes required unless submitting a full research study.

  • Graphics should be high-res and include a 1–2 sentence caption.

🧭 Why Contribute?

Our work has been cited by defence tech innovators, policymakers, and strategic operators alike. Contributing to Aries Intelligence puts your voice in front of the people shaping doctrine, budgets, and procurement pipelines — in the UK, NATO, and beyond.

Let’s shape the conversation that shapes the future.
