RECURRING PROJECTS, ACTIVITIES & EVENTS
Annual Conference
The JAPCC Conference attracts senior representatives from
the military, industry and academia, with attendance of
more than 200 flag officers in the last three years. The
JAPCC Conference will usually be held in autumn of every
year. The topic is always up-to-date and derived from
strategic military and political guidance.
Engagement
The JAPCC established two annual events, the Think Tank
Forum and the Joint Air and Space Power Network (JASPN)
Meeting. These meetings bring together national air warfare
centres and similar Air and Space think tanks, or NATO, EU and
MoU organisations, respectively, to identify areas of common
concern and opportunities to improve collaboration in
developing concrete solutions to real problems.
Exercise Support
The JAPCC provides Air & Space power expertise to the
JWC and AIRCOM Ramstein during exercises. JAPCC’s role
during both exercises is to provide highly dynamic and
realistic Opposing Forces (OPFOR) Air, Space and Cyber
play in support of OPFOR’s Concept of Operations and
Exercise Training Objectives by building and executing an
OPFOR Air Tasking Order and injecting incidents through
the Joint Exercise Management Module.
Annual Report
The Annual Report is a retrospective report, summarizing
JAPCC´s work of the last year. JAPCC usually sends it to its
sponsoring nations in February. It offers a great overview
about what the JAPCC has achieved in the year before and
it also previews the coming year. The electronic version of
this report is always available on our website.
JAPCC Journal
The Journal of the JAPCC is our flagship publication reflecting
