NATO CAX Forum 2016

Due to unforeseen circumstances the German Air Force Officers School is no longer available as host for the NATO CAX Forum 2016. The new location will be the premises of IABG in Ottobrunn near Munich, which is the same as in 2010.

Please note that all past hotel reservations for the forum need to be cancelled or renewed respectively. Please find the updated hotel information on the website here: www.iabg.de/cax2016

Please visit this web site frequently to learn about the conference details as soon as they will be released. The 11th NATO Computer Assisted Exercise Forum (NATO CAX Forum 2016) will be organized by the NATO Modelling and Simulation Centre Of Excellence (NATO M&S COE), and Industrieanlagen-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH (IABG) together with the German Bundeswehr from September 20th to 23rd 2016. We would appreciate your interest in this NATO-expert conference about CAX and wargaming.

This invitation message is specifically addressed to you, should you wish and be able to attend the event. We also encourage those who attend to participate by either giving presentations and/or demonstrations on CAX related topics. In this connection, dedicated booths will also be available for the demonstrations of CAX and simulation related products by commercial organizations, military and civilian entities.

As usual, a full session will be dedicated to National Simulation Centres, their activities and the possible synergies among them and main NATO training institutions like the NATO Joint Warfare Centre and the NATO Joint Force Training Centre.

Potential tracks that might populate the Forum program, in accordance with the previous year tracks, as follows:

•        Collective Training and Exercises
•        C2-Sim Interoperability
•        NATO/ National M&S Tools
•        Cyber Domain Sim
•        Urban Environment Training Challenges
•        Emergency/Crisis Management
•        MSaaS for Training
•        Human Capital in CAX
•        CAX Lessons Learned Process
•        Simulating Logistics and Sustainability
•        Hybrid Warfare Modelling for Exercises
•        Sim Centres Cooperation
•        M&S V&V for Wargaming

We understand that you can’t assure your participation right now, but we would be really grateful if you could only let us know your intention/possibility to attend the event. Your immediate feedback on this point will not be considered as a commitment at all from you, but it will allow us the appropriate arrangements accordingly.

Please note again that the conference week coincides with the first week of the famous “Oktoberfest”. This essentially affects the availability as well as the prices of all accommodation in the Munich area. Immediate booking is strongly recommended.
