About
CNA Corporation is a nonprofit research and analysis organization that operates the Center for Naval Analyses—the sole Federally Funded Research and Development Center serving the U.S. Department of the Navy—and the Institute for Public Research. With a workforce of nearly 700 scientists, analysts, and professionals, CNA delivers actionable solutions to complex national‑security challenges by embedding analysts in operational environments such as carriers, military bases, and crisis centers, enabling direct collaboration with operators and decision‑makers. Beyond its defense portfolio, CNA conducts non‑defense research in areas including criminal justice, homeland security, and data management, supporting naval operations, fleet readiness, and great‑power competition while providing evidence‑based insights that inform policy and improve public safety.
