WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

NATO has become increasingly dependent on air and space for operations, and this dependence brings vulnerabilities and risks to NATO operations.

On Thursday 15 October 2010, ACT along with the joint airpower competence centre (JAPCC), hosted a one day workshop with some 40 participants, which focused on NATO’s vulnerabilities and challenges in the space commons, and made recommendations for NATO’s way ahead.
