Preparing The Next-Generation Of Aviators For The Multi-Domain Fight!
Airspace remains increasingly contested. Training capability of near-peer competitors continues to advance at an unprecedented rate. In the current dynamic and unpredictable security environment, NATO allies must work together to further expand the proficiency and readiness of military aircrew, for the future fight.
Military Flight Training 2025 will address training challenges and opportunities for the full range of aircrews, from fixed wing to rotary wing, fast jet and multi-engine aircraft, including 5th and 6th generation fighter aircraft, to ensure that as an Alliance, we stay one step ahead, in contested environments.
Now in its 24th year, MFTC provides an unrivalled platform for senior leaders from across the Military Flight Training spectrum, including pilots, ground crew, procurement specialists, capability planners, and operators to meet with industry leaders from across the primes and small businesses, as we grapple with an ever-evolving set of priorities faced by aircrew.
Attracting 300+ leaders from across the military aviation training ecosystem from over 40 nations, Military Flight Training takes place at a time where guaranteeing air dominance and strike capability has never been tougher.
The Military Flight Training Community's Annual General Meeting For The Discussion Of Military Fixed Wing And Rotary Flight Training Requirements, Capabilities And Technologies.
Over its 21-year history, Military Flight Training has become the Annual General Meeting for the Air Training community. Bringing together over 250 Chiefs of Staff, Commanders of Air Training, Heads of Air Procurement, Heads of Simulation & Synthetic Training and industry executives from across the globe to discuss the challenges and successes shaping military flight training, both for now and in the future.
In doing so it provides a rare platform to share lessons learned and best practice in current fixed wing and rotary military flight training requirements, capabilities and programmes, engaging in international collaboration on a very real level with key allies and strengthen the message of cooperation with counterparts across the world.
Military Flight Training is organised with the support and direction of Senior Leaders from across the military and industry sectors of the flight training community. With this in mind, each presentation topic and guest speaker has been specifically selected inline with the priorities and recommendations of the community to ensure it provides attendees with the critical information they need to solve their daily flight training challenges.
