China's defence industrial base isn't a list. It's a network.
China's defence industrial base isn't a list. It's a network.
Most intelligence tools tell you a company is Chinese. Datenna tells you whether it's producing components for a PLA programme, who controls it three layers up, and whether the researcher your contractor just hired trained at a People's Liberation Army university.
What standard data providers return versus Datenna
Same entity. Two completely different intelligence pictures.
By the time a risk appears on a sanctions list, it's already too late.
What your analysts see with Datenna.
Datenna gives defence and intelligence teams a continuously updated picture of China's defence-industrial base: entities, procurement flows, ownership structures, and the individuals who connect the commercial and military worlds.
When a weapons programme shifts from R&D to production, you need to know.
The move from research to operational procurement is the most significant signal in China's defence-industrial base. It tells you a capability has crossed from theoretical to deliverable. Datenna tracks procurement flows across the full Chinese defence supply chain so your analysts see that transition as it happens, not after it appears in open reporting.
See through ownership structures that are designed to obscure.
Datenna maps ownership five layers deep, cross-references procurement records, and applies automated military-civil fusion labelling across 50M+ entities. Where registered structures are designed to obscure PLA connections, Datenna surfaces them.
The depth of a dedicated China team, without the headcount.
Datenna holds profiles on 79M+ executives, researchers, and key personnel, with university affiliations, funding histories, and known connections to PLA programmes. A J2 desk officer can surface in minutes what would otherwise take weeks to build.
Continuous monitoring across entities, networks, and technology sectors.
Datenna monitors entities, procurement networks, and technology sectors continuously. Your assessments reflect China's defence-industrial trajectory as it develops, not a snapshot from six months ago.
