Why us
Built for the Pace of Modern Conflict.
Most firms talk in abstractions. We operate in realities. Our work starts with what the battlefield demands, not what a slide deck suggests. That’s why our analysis cuts deeper, moves faster, and gives clients an edge where it actually matters.
If you need clarity built for the speed of modern conflict, you’ll find it here.
Modern defense doesn’t give you time to guess. Programs pivot overnight, adversaries adapt faster than bureaucracies can brief, and the tech that looks flawless in a demo often collapses the instant it hits the field. Leaders don’t need more narratives; they need truth grounded in how systems actually perform under pressure. That’s why we exist. Nerdrums delivers research and analysis built for the people who build real capability. Threat-driven intelligence, system breakdowns, acquisition pathways, industrial base mapping, and deep dives across technologies, all built around two questions.
What works, and what does it take to field it?
We fuse frontline lessons with program-level tracking and technical teardown to give clients a decisive edge. We study what survives in the heat of battle. We strip systems to the frame, expose vulnerabilities before they become failures, and map the opportunities others won’t see until it’s too late. The output is clean and operational: rapid briefs, strategic guidance, and decision-ready intelligence you can act on immediately. The impact is simple. You move before the market. You avoid the dead ends. You build capability that holds up under hostile conditions. That’s why the people shaping tomorrow’s fight rely on us.
Nerdrums gives you the advantage everyone else is chasing.

How we got started
The Nerdrums Story.
It all started on January 24, 2004. I was picked up from the airport and put on a bus, told to keep my head down, myself and a group of men were headed to what we would call home for the next few months. Once we reached our destination, the next sound I heard was screaming to get off the bus. We all peeled out and were assigned yellow footprints painted on the road where we were to stand.
