Delivering the Next Generation of Rotary Capabilities up to and Beyond 2040
Returning for the 18th annual edition,
International Military Helicopter (IMH) 2024 will tackle the highest priorities for the global rotary community, in delivering next generation capability and meeting current threats. As nations invest in the renewal of legacy fleets or procure new platforms, the shifting international environment shows clear challenges when operating against a peer or near peer adversary, or protecting its own sovereignty. With the size of the global military helicopter market expected to grow to $72.81 billion by 2027,
IMH will provide the most valuable forum to address these issues.
Covering a range of critical topics,
International Military Helicopter 2024 will examine those which are relevant to the modern battlefield and the role of rotary aviation across the multi-domain. These include:
- Observations from contemporary conflicts
- Delivering current plans and programmes, including FVL, NGRC and NMH
- National and NATO strategic visions for rotary aviation
- Rotary training and delivering collective simulation
- Next generation capability 2030+
- Electrification and hybridisation of propulsion
- Increasing availability and improving maintenance
- Integrating uncrewed systems into the force
- Enhancing maritime capability
- Considering future operational environments
NEW for this year, the
International Military Helicopter conference will focus on the preparation to flight, considering the importance of effective training to enhance crew effectiveness, as well as ways to increase the availability of platforms through engineering practices, which is critical when deploying an effective force. The 2024 edition will also take an in-depth look at the Indo-Pacific region, and the technological advancements in the helicopter manufacturing process shaping the market.
Join us to share experiences from recent operations and hear from other international allies, and gain thought leadership from those who can provide innovative solutions, leading to the exchange of valuable knowledge and fostering key partnerships.
