NCMS Technology Showcase: Aberdeen Proving Ground

For the first time, NCMS is partnering with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory (CCDC-ARL) and Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) to host a Technology Showcase. This event focuses heavily on advanced manufacturing, materials, and processes, and all innovative technologies that will advance the U.S. Army’s goal of understanding, exploring, maturing, and exploiting science and technology developments leading to Power Projection Superiority, Information Supremacy, Lethality, and Protection Superiority, and Soldier Performance Augmentation.

APG, one of the most diversified military installations in the U.S., is the Army’s premier home of innovation and readiness in support of the Joint Warfighter and is home to CCDC-ARL. CCDC-ARL partners with industry and academia to ensure that programs produce advanced technologies that support soldiers in the field today – and in the future.
