Air Dominance Summit

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 assess the direction of future combat airpower delivery, touching on 6th generation fighter programs, including NGAD, FCAS and Tempest and how the U.S. and allies can look to maintain and build air dominance for the future fight, in addition to the utilization of LVC training environments and off-the-shelf simulations that can help transform the future fighting force. Furthermore, we will examine how we can harness Data, AI, and Cloud Combat to bolster lethality, survivability, and combat mass. Vital innovations that different nations are leveraging which can accelerate the decision-making cycle, close operational gaps, and enhance situational awareness will also be discussed by senior international representatives throughout the two days.

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