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.
