Aerospace Capability Group 2 (ACG2) and Air Armaments Sub Group (AASG) semi – annual Meeting

Kalkar, 26-28 April 2016. JAPCC hosted ACG2 and AASG meetings from April 26th – 28th. The Groups meet twice a year and all participating Nations and Agencies are welcome to host in turn.

Aerospace Capability Group 2 is a subgroup of the NATO Air Force Armaments Group (NAFAG), which was created under the auspices of the Conference of National Armaments Directors (CNAD). The ACG2 is underpinned by three subgroups: Air Armaments Sub Group (AASG), the Agent Defeat Working Group (ADWG) and the NATO Universal Armaments Interface (NUAI) Specialist Team.

During the meetings, various topics were discussed and several reports received, including from the ADWG, which gave a presentation on next-generation weapons, and the AASG, which updated the Group on the NATO Standardisation Agreements (STANAGs) of which it is in charge. The upcoming Joint Precision Strike (JPS) Topical Day, which is to be held in Paris in late June, was also discussed.
