Past event: Air Dominance Summit

Securing Air Supremacy for the Future Multi-Domain Battle

The inaugural Air Dominance Summit will bring together 200 senior international leaders from the fighter aircraft community, including Pilots, Procurement Specialists and Air Force Commanders from NATO member nations – all tirelessly dedicated to securing air supremacy in an evolving and contested threat landscape.

Against rising tensions in the Pacific and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we will evaluate initial lessons learned to ensure the U.S. and allies are equipped for the changing character of modern air warfare and future conflict. Beyond this, we will explore how allies can continue to forge strong relationships, to effectively execute successful multi-domain operations.  

We will examine the direction of contemporary and future combat airpower delivery, drawing on 4th/5th and 6th generation fighter programs, including NGAD, FCAS and GCAP, and how the U.S. and allies can look to maintain and build air dominance for the future fight. Air Dominance will also provide crucial insight into how the U.S. Air Force are accelerating change to transform the future fighting force through the utilization of synthetic training environments, LVC simulation and off-the-shelf simulations.

Throughout the two days, thought leaders will look at how we can harness real time data, autonomy, AI, and Combat Cloud to bolster lethality, survivability, and combat mass. Vital innovations that different nations are leveraging which can accelerate the decision-making cycle, expand the tactical sphere, close operational gaps, and enhance situational awareness, will also be discussed.

Through the provision of a dynamic and rich environment which encourages networking, learning, and knowledge-sharing, we will provide a constructive forum which enables global relationships to be established and nurtured.
