Founded as the Centre de Documentation et de Recherche sur la Paix et les Conflits (CDRPC) in 1984, the Observatoire des armements (OBSARM) is a non-government research centre based in Lyon, France, that monitors French nuclear and conventional arms programs. It has played a central role in supporting nuclear veterans and survivors across France, Algeria and Mā’ohi Nui / French Polynesia. CDRPC published a number of books by the late Bruno Barrillot, a leading researcher into French nuclear weapons testing.
