Joint Air and Space Power Conference 2023 Concluded
Our annual Joint Air and Space Power Conference was held from 10 to 12 October 2023 and focused on “Enhancing Deterrence and Defence through Joint Air Power”.
The conference was opened by a welcome address from General James B. Hecker, Commander US Air Forces in Europe and Africa, Commander Allied Air Command, and Director Joint Air Power Competence Centre, followed by the introductory keynote speech of Admiral Rob Bauer, Chairman of the NATO Military Committee.
The first panel discussed recent changes in our security environment, as well as how the credibility, capability, and availability of Joint Air and Space Power can contribute to Allies’ ability to deter and defend across all domains, services, and nations. The subsequent panel examined the challenges of enhancing readiness, availability, and resilience of Joint Air & Space Power to prepare and be ready for high-intensity, multi-domain operations.
Additionally, General Cavoli, SACEUR, made a very special contribution to the conference with his video message and thoughts on the “Importance of Airpower to the Alliance”.
The second conference day opened with a keynote address by General James H. Dickinson, Commander US Space Command. The third panel discussed the future development of Joint Air & Space Power capabilities for Collective Defence with a focus on tomorrow’s key technologies and industrial cooperation. The concluding panel offered a debate about the importance of logistics, industrial capacity to supply weapons, spare parts, and ammunition, as well as functioning supply chains across national borders in times of conflict.
We would like to thank our moderator, speakers, and panellists as well as the audience for their contributions to excellent and thought-provoking discussions about Enhancing Deterrence and Defence through Joint Air Power.
We look forward to next year’s Joint Air and Space Power Conference, which is planned for October/November 2024, 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.
