Armament Research Services (ARES) is a specialist technical intelligence consultancy focused on arms and munitions. It provides research, analysis, and technical expertise to government and non-government organisations, including support for national, regional, and international initiatives. ARES gathers information both in-country and remotely, then develops tailored technical assessments. Its work can be undertaken in permissive or non-permissive environments, and the organisation describes itself as apolitical and policy-neutral. It also reserves the right to decline engagements it considers ethically problematic.

ARES offers services across the project lifecycle, from technical project management and field research to pre-release review. Its scalable project support is designed for organisations such as government departments, NGOs, think tanks, and media outlets seeking accurate outputs. The consultancy also provides training on arms and munitions subjects, delivered for professional development or to build the capabilities of host-country security services. Its broader offerings include video game services, archaeological consulting, counter-poaching, special projects, and work related to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.
