Both Peers in the Promotion of Systems Engineering

NDIA has ~80 years more History

NDIA has ~10 times more Members

NDIA has a clear and intentional US bias

NDIA has a clear and intentional DoD agenda

INCOSE strives to be International

INCOSE strives to relate to multiple Domains

INCOSE interacts more with the local and individual engineer
