The NBC Industry Group is an association of over 130 companies and organizations supporting nuclear, biological, and chemical defense. Members include large and small commercial companies, product manufacturers, systems integrators, not-for-profit organizations and consultants who focus on the CBRN community. In addition to military defense against chemical and biological warfare, interests of the group encompass domestic preparedness against chemical and biological terrorism as well as the Chemical Weapons Convention and other treaties.
The organization’s mission is to inform and educate the Federal, State and local Governments on NBC defense matters relating to combating WMD, combating terrorism, and homeland security as well as to advance the development of NBC defense capabilities that enable the U.S. Armed Forces to carry out their global and domestic responsibilities.
Neil Cohen, Director of Defense Group Inc’s CoBRA software division and newest elected board member say’s “this is an extremely exciting time to be supporting the NBC industry”. There are many changes occurring within the DoD CBRN leadership and the need for new and innovative tools to combat the CBRN threat is great.
There is great camaraderie among the members and the NBC industry in general and the meetings are a great way to meet up, network and sometimes find teaming partners for upcoming government contracts.
The NBC Industry Group usually meets on the third Thursday of each month at Fort Myer, VA to exchange information on current events in the area and discuss emerging trends and requirements. Most meetings include invited speakers from key Congressional committees, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Military Services, or other agencies that have a role in NBC defense.
