Joint Air & Space Power Conference 2026 Read Ahead

Air Power at the Edge: Securing NATO's New Frontiers’
Esteemed Colleagues, As your moderator once again, it is a privilege to welcome you to what has become one of NATO’s leading forums for discussion on joint air and space power. The conference has come [...]

System Literacy: Joint Air and Space Power’s Core Competence

Joint Air and Space Power has always been shaped by the relationship between people and technology. Every major advance requires new forms of human competence. Early innovations such as the autopilot began to relocate that [...]

The Mobility Dilemma: Adapting Aerospace Ground Equipment for Agility

Modern air superiority is won in the air, but it is generated and sustained on the ground. Deploying a squadron of combat aircraft to a forward operating location requires simultaneous movement of diverse support assets. [...]

Kinetic Force, Ambiguous Threat: Adapting Air Power Below the Threshold

Modern strategic competition is increasingly defined by persistent, ambiguous actions designed to weaken Alliance cohesion without triggering a military response.  Sabotage of undersea cables in the Baltic Sea, GPS jamming and spoofing along the Eastern [...]

Sharp Threats, Blurred Frontiers: Prioritising Risk at the Edge

During last year’s JAPCC Conference theme, Dominance Disrupted? The Future of Air Superiority, we challenged the NATO Joint Air and Space Power community to examine the future of Joint Air and Space Power based on [...]

Autonomous Collaborative Platforms

A Strategic Roadmap for Allied Air Power
The Strategic Imperative: NATO’s historical reliance on high-value, exquisite, and numerically constrained crewed platforms is increasingly challenged by sophisticated Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2AD) networks. To maintain credible deterrence and operational freedom of manoeuvre in the future operating [...]

Why NATO Needs a Federated EW Cloud Architecture

The modern electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is dynamic and can be denied, degraded, or disrupted without warning. A growing gap exists between NATO’s ability to fuse, disseminate, and exploit electromagnetic information and the demands of a [...]

Cyber and Space Exercise Playbook

Modern air operations don’t happen in a vacuum — they depend on satellites, networks, and digital systems that adversaries are increasingly willing and able to target. The JAPCC’s Cyber and Space Exercise Playbook gives air [...]

Rebalancing Combat Aviation Training

Integrating Synthetic Environments for Multi-Domain Readiness
Combat pilots have always preferred to fly, and throughout history that preference has shaped how militaries train. However, for the past several decades, simulator training has supplemented live flight hours. As synthetic environments grow in [...]

Annual Report 2025

In 2025, JAPCC delivered across every pillar of CoE work at higher tempo, and against a more demanding set of stakeholder requirements than in any previous year. The Annual Joint Air and Space Power Conference [...]

Connecting the Alliance at Every Level

Taking the Digital High Ground with Multi-Tactical Datalink Integration
The rapid emergence of digitally enabled conflicts has forced the Alliance to confront a new reality: modern wars are no longer won by platforms alone. Speed, precision, and resilience of the networks that connect sensors, [...]

Bridging NATO’s Capability-Capacity Gap Through Commercial Effects

Modern air forces face an operational dilemma. The demand for mission-critical effects, ranging from persistent Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) to Air-to-Air Refueling (AAR) and high-fidelity training, is expanding at a rate that outpaces the [...]
