The Defence and Security Programme of the Casimir Pulaski Foundation is mostly focused on international security issues, the defence system of the Republic of Poland, and the Polish arms industry.  The main goal of the programme is to present sensible recommendations to the Polish public administration that could form a basis for creating further long-term strategies of Poland. The Foundation would also like to trigger debates concerning various aspects of national security and raise social awareness on these issues. The main area of analysis of our research team concerns the needs of the Polish Armed Forces in terms of modernisation and development of the Polish arms industry.
