Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB)   WPAFB is our community.  Not only do we know the people you want to contact on a professional basis, but throughout the years, they’ve become our friends and neighbors.   Since 1986, ABDA has fostered strong relationships with the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), Wright Laboratory, with special emphasis on Air Force Material Command (AFMC).   Thanks to our constant monitoring of AF and DoD, our strong ties to the aerospace community, and our active involvement in professional and technical associations, you'll be among the first to learn about new business opportunities.     We believe that no one knows the WPAFB market better than we do!

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is recognized as one of the Nation's premier research and development centers. WPAFBs' complex operations range from National defense programs to education to flight operations and logistics management.

WPAFB is home to 7 different Air Force commands, including Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), one of nine (9) major commands Air Force-wide.

Within AFMC is the Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC), whose program offices rank as the largest complex of research / management facilities in the United States.  The following links provide additional information on a few of the 70+ units housed at WPAFB:

Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL) direct advanced research and technical development programs for Air Force / Joint service weapons systems.  (NOTE:  Of the nine AFRL AFRL directorates, five are based at WPAFB:  Propulsion, Materials and Manufacturing, Sensors, Information Technology, and Human Effectiveness.)

Air Force Materials and Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/ML) is one of AFRL's 10 technology directorates.  ML develops materials, processes, and advanced manufacturing technologies for aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, rockets, and ground-based systems.

Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) supports National defense programs through an extensive array of graduate and non-graduate educational programs, consulting, and research services.

National Air & Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) is the national center for integrated intelligence on aerospace systems, forces, and identifying potential foreign threats.

Air Force Security Assistance Center (AFSAC) formulates and completes International agreements with friendly foreign forces to support U.S. National security (e.g., technology and materials).
