Joint Air and Space Power Conference 2022 Concluded
Our annual Joint Air and Space Power Conference was held from 11 to 13 October 2022 and focused on “Enhancing NATO Air and Space Power in an Age of Global Competition”.
Following the introductory keynote speech by General Christian Badia, Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Transformation the first panel discussed the challenges and threats in the competitive environment and the implications for NATO and single nations’ security.
The subsequent panel examined the consequences for deterrence and defence, the challenges to fulfilling the demands for technically advanced systems, interoperability and technical standards from the military. The third panel added the industry perspective as well as new approaches to multinational defence planning, common-funded solutions, and incentives to reinforce industrial cooperation.
The second conference day opened with a special address by General James B. Hecker, Commander US Air Forces in Europe and US Air Forces Africa, Commander Allied Air Command, and Director Joint Air Power Competence Centre. The concluding panel offered a debate about ensuring forces and capabilities are postured, ready, and connected to provide effective defence of allied territory and interests.
We would like to thank our moderator, speakers, and panellists as well as the audience for their contributions to an excellent and thought-provoking discussion about Enhancing NATO Air & Space Power in an Age of Global Competition.
We are looking forward to next year’s Joint Air and Space Power Conference, which is planned for 10-12 October 2023, again at the Congress Centre Essen, Germany.

Fast Facts
What’s the organization of the JAPCC ?
Based on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the JAPCC is sponsored by 14 NATO nations who provide a variety of experienced Subject Matter Experts (SME) that come from all three services. Through its multi-discipline organization, the JAPCC chooses the most suitable SMEs for the task and combines their knowledge and experience to fully contribute to transforming NATO’s A&S Power. More importantly, the JAPCC is not constrained by the need for consensus or by political expediency in developing ideas. It can offer independent military advice across the spectrum of A&S Power to NATO HQs and national policy-making bodies.
What can the JAPCC do for you ?
Our primary customers are NATO Headquarters (Allied Command Operations, Allied Command Transformation, NATO Joint Commands and Air Command) and sponsoring nations. However, the JAPCC does accept Requests for Support (RfS) from other sources via our RfS form, which can be accessed via the link below. With numerous successful products and ever-increasing connections with industry and academia, the JAPCC continues to build upon its reputation as NATO’s preeminent advocate for the development and enhancement of Joint A&S Power
How does the JAPCC accomplish its mission ?
A&S Power SMEs, drawn from the Land, Maritime and Air components of the 16 MoU nations, conduct collaborative research into areas in which JAPCC assistance is requested by leveraging their independent thought and a global network of experts that reach across the military, academic and industrial spheres. The resulting analysis and solutions are disseminated via studies, reports, journal articles, seminars, panels and conferences.
