The Nuclear and Missile Development Database tracks proliferation developments such as major policy statements or key negotiations, international transactions and developments involving nuclear weapons, and material and missile technology in countries of proliferation concern. All data is presented in abstracts that draw upon information from more than 350 English and foreign-language news sources. The over 30,000 records in the database focus on events in South Asia, Northeast Asia and the Middle East (though other regions are also covered), with each record containing an abstract of the essential, proliferation-significant information from a source or several sources. Most records derive from sources published or available between 1985 and 2000. Experts and scholars at the Center for Nonproliferation Studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies created the Nuclear and Missile Developments Database.

As of January 2002, the Database is no longer being updated.  Please see the new Country Profiles—complete, web-based data sets providing information and analysis on nuclear, biological, chemical, and missile developments.
