Advancing Close Air Support Operations, Requirements and Capabilities
Close Air Support 2017 will bring together over 50 Chiefs of Staff, Commanders of Operations, Heads of Air Procurement, JTACs and industry executives from across the US and International Partners to discuss the challenges and success shaping
close air support for now and the future.
