NATO Allied Maritime Command Hosts Maritime Air Conference

NORTHWOOD, United Kingdom – NATO Allied Maritime Command (MARCOM) welcomed personnel for the Maritime Air Coordination Conferences and workshops between Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 at MARCOM’s headquarters in Northwood.

Commander, Maritime Air Forces NATO (COMMARAIRNATO) led the event in coordination with the Joint Air Power Competence Centre (JAPCC).

Delegates from across the Alliance came together for discussions and information exchange.  They developed concepts and initiatives with the aim of more effectively coordinating and employing Alliance maritime air power.

The last 12 months have seen MARAIR and MARCOM make significant strides toward our goal of increased coordination between the maritime and air domains, within the NATO command structure and external to NATO at the national level

Representatives from MARCOM, JAPCC, Allied Air Command (AIRCOM), Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO (STRIKFORNATO), and various other NATO and Allied commands attended the conferences.  The theme this year’s annual event was “Multi-Domain Support to Maritime Operations.”

NATO Allied Maritime Command (MARCOM) welcomed personnel from NATO AIRCOM for the Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) Conference, Nov. 15 to 17.

“This was a fitting theme for the 2022 Maritime Air Coordination Conference, given the importance our command places on execution of coordinated, multi-domain operations in the effective and efficient deterrence and defence of the Euro-Atlantic area,” said Hellenic Navy Commodore Ilias Raptis, COMMARAIRNATO and Deputy Chief of Staff for Maritime Air Operations at MARCOM. “The last 12 months have seen MARAIR and MARCOM make significant strides toward our goal of increased coordination between the maritime and air domains, within the NATO command structure and external to NATO at the national level.”

In addition, MARCOM HQ welcomed personnel from NATO AIRCOM for the Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) Quarterly Scheduling Conference, Nov. 15 to 17. Operators and planners strengthened multi-domain relationships between MARCOM and AIRCOM, and discussed topics important to AEW&C operations, including the integration of new AEW capabilities into the maritime domain.
