About

Welcome To The Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA). Based in Aberdeen, Maryland, the chapter has a history almost as old as the history of the Proving Ground itself. NDIA is a non-profit, educational association representing industry, government, and all military services. Nearly 1,000 companies and 26,000 individuals build their businesses, careers, and the future of the industrial base through NDIA membership. NDIA provides a forum for the interchange of ideas and technology between government and industry. It is in a key position to shape issues and influence defense policies through its chapters and divisions covering key facets of defense and is a 501(c)3 organization.
