Securing Air Supremacy For The Future Multi-Domain Battle
As near-peer adversaries advance their capabilities, achieving and maintaining air dominance has become critical to overall defense strategy. To secure superiority in the skies, there is an increasing need for enhanced lethality and survivability. This advancement is possible through the integration of cutting-edge technologies, including real-time data for faster and more effective decision-making, Artificial Intelligence, advanced sensors, next-generation weapons, and Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T).
The 2025 Air Dominance Summit will bring together the aerospace defense community, including the U.S. Air Force, the US Navy, allied nations, industry, and academia, to build on last year's conference discussions. We will discuss 4th/5th, and 6th generation fighter programs, including NGAD, FAXX, CCA, FCAS, and GCAP, reflect on current conflicts, and explore innovation in air supremacy.
Topics at the 2025 summit include improved lethality, survivability, artificial intelligence, autonomy, MUM-T, cloud computing, and real-time data. Together we will explore the ways in which they are rapidly shaping the future of air superiority.
Four Top Reasons to Attend the Air Dominance Summit:
Understand how the US is advancing the proficiency of aviators through high-profile discussions on future technologies like AI/ML and MUM-T
Hear about lessons learned from currently ongoing global conflicts, takeaways for air superiority
Gain unrivalled insights into 6th Generation Fighter Programs and the strategies of U.S. leaders in securing air dominance for multi-domain operations
Build and forge strong strategic ties in an intimate environment with extensive networking breaks to improve domestic and international interoperability
The summit is good to get a good overall view on what is going on and the latest developments on airpower.
Very helpful to understand the path forward and define a clear set of objectives going forward.
Excellent blend of speakers and topics. A very good way to get a 30,000 ft view of what is going on in the field.
Already have recommended to my colleagues. Great presentations, good networking opportunities.
