The program is designed to help participating companies better understand the missions, priorities and future acquisition needs of the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) at China Lake and Point Mugu. Government and industry representatives will exchange perspectives on contracting pathways, upcoming requirements, technical challenges and the capabilities needed to support The Warfighter.

CCAP welcomes companies of all sizes and experience levels, including established defense contractors, emerging technology firms, manufacturers, professional-service providers and businesses seeking to enter or expand within the federal marketplace.
Participation opportunities will be particularly valuable for small, disadvantaged, veteran-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone and women-owned businesses seeking greater visibility, teaming relationships and access to the defense industrial base.

Throughout the event, attendees will have opportunities to:

• Engage directly with government acquisition, contracting, program and technical personnel.
• Learn about anticipated contracting requirements and areas of future mission demand.
• Introduce products, services, technologies and organizational capabilities to potential government and industry partners.
• Participate in open discussions focused on operational needs, innovation and potential solutions.
• Meet prime contractors and explore subcontracting, supplier and teaming opportunities.
• Connect with small businesses that offer complementary capabilities or specialized expertise.
• Visit industry and government exhibits to continue conversations in an informal, accessible setting.
• Build relationships with professionals from China Lake, Point Mugu and the broader defense and aerospace community.

Networking will be integrated throughout the program rather than limited to a single reception or designated session. Continental breakfasts, refreshment breaks, exhibit periods, meals, open forums and scheduled social activities will provide multiple settings for attendees to meet, exchange information and continue discussions initiated during the formal program.

The CCAP experience emphasizes purposeful interaction. Participants are encouraged to arrive prepared to clearly communicate their capabilities, ask informed questions, identify potential partners and develop relationships that can continue beyond the event. Through a combination of presentations, exhibits, open dialogue and informal networking, CCAP 2027 will create an environment where government needs and industry capabilities can be better understood, aligned and advanced.
