Not only can modern air power arrive quickly where needed, it has become far more lethal in conventional operations. Equipped with advanced munitions, either in service or about to become operational, and directed by modern C3I systems, air power has the potential to destroy enemy ground forces either on the move or in defensive positions at a high rate while concurrently destroying vital elements of the enemy’s war fighting infrastructure. In short, the mobility, lethality, and survivability of air power makes it well suited to the needs of rapidly developing regional conflicts.This conference will address the major issues within the evolving battlespace, looking at the future requirements and government policies for Airborne Strike. The recent advances in platform design, in particular, the emphasis on future concepts and supportability will be a key area of evaluation at the conference. Furthermore, it is evident that the decreasing funding of national defence budgets has had a major impact on the development of precision weaponry, forcing a drive towards procurement of ‘the most capable’ ‘for the least cost’. System technology is also a key factor in the fullest possible exploitation of the precision weapon capability and revolutions in targeting, sensor and radar technology. This will undoubtedly continue to shape the future evolution of the precision guided munition and therefore, this conference will give a valuable insight into these emerging capabilities.
A unique opportunity to hear international case studies and expert perspectives from leaders in the field including:
