Air Dominance Summit

The second Air Dominance Summit will bring together over 200 senior U.S. and international leaders from the fighter aircraft community – all tirelessly dedicated to securing air supremacy in an evolving and contested threat landscape.

Against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Pacific and the pressing need to outpace adversaries, we will assess how the U.S. and her allies can prepare for the changing character of modern air warfare and bolster combat air capability. We will also explore how allies can continue to forge strong strategic ties to effectively execute successful multi-domain and joint force operations.

We will examine the direction of contemporary and future combat airpower delivery, drawing on 4th/5th and 6th generation fighter programs, including NGAD, FCAS and GCAP, and how the U.S. and her allies can continue to build and maintain air dominance for the future fight. The Air Dominance Summit will also provide crucial insight into how leaders across the services are accelerating change to transform the future fighting force through the utilization of synthetic training environments, LVC simulation and off-the-shelf simulations.

Throughout the two conference days, thought leaders will look at how we can harness real time data, autonomy, AI/ML, and cloud computing to bolster lethality, survivability, and combat mass. We will also discuss vital innovations that different nations are leveraging to accelerate the decision-making cycle, expand the tactical sphere, close operational gaps, and enhance situational awareness.

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.
