After years of initial cost overruns, delays and interoperability problems, NATO’s Air Command and Control System (ACCS) is entering the final stretch of software testing and validation, with national-level replication sites beginning to roll out across the alliance.

Although some data-exchange interoperability problems continue to beleaguer the system, ACCS is now on schedule to reach an initial operating capability during 2013-15, according to NATO and industry experts working on the project.
