Defence and Aerospace Organisations
NDI works closely with the following defence and aerospace organisations:
A|D|S (Aerospace, Defence and Security) is a trade association created from the merger of the DMA, SBAC and APPSS organisations on 1st October 2009.
The Defence Manufacturers Association (DMA) was founded in 1976 by a small group of SMEs wishing to strengthen and formalise their links with the UK Ministry of Defence (UK MoD). It has since grown into the largest not-for-profit national defence Trade Association (TA) in the UK and is the only national TA dedicated solely to the service of companies within the UK Defence Industry.
The Society of British Aerospace Companies (SBAC) is the national trade association representing suppliers to the civil air transport, defence, space and security markets operating in the
The Association of Police & Public Security Suppliers (APPSS) is the premier trade association for UK companies supplying products and/or services to the Police and Public Security agencies worldwide.

Farnborough Aerospace Consortium (FAC) is a not-for-profit trade association acting as a facilitator of business between large global primes and the supply chain and as an enabler of business support to its members and partners.
It is one of the largest and most established aerospace and defence associations in the UK, providing support to, and furthering the long-term strategic growth of, the sector in the South East.
NDI AND FAC MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
On the 25 August 2009, (FAC) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two organisations to act jointly for the benefit of their member companies. The MoU recognises the natural synergies that exist between these two strong organisations and will allow for future activity to be conducted in partnership.
The MoU was a logical step for NDI, with its defence, security and military aerospace focus, and FAC with its prominent position in both civil and military aerospace. The agreement between the two organisations will ensure that the Government and the prime contractor community hear the voice of the small and medium sized companies in the UK.
The Defence Matters campaign is part of an initiative by the DIC to raise awareness of the contributions that the UK defence industry makes to the economy and security of the UK, as well as the unique role the industry plays in equipping and supporting our Armed Forces.Please click here for more information
