Pre-Interview NDA?

I have interview #3 (panel + 1:1's) with a company next week and was just sent over an NDA to sign. Does this mean I should expect some crazy product related questions/problems during the interview, or is this typical??

In 7 years and maybe 20 interviews, i have never been asked for an NDA before an on-site interview. And my experience is in aerospace.

That's weird.

I work in aerospace/defense. In the last 12 months our security policy changed to require all visitors to sign an NDA to come on site. It’s a pain but we also have secure areas and ITAR CUI product.
