5.20 Chairman's Closing Remarks and Close of Conference AbstractIn the modern 21st century battlefield, air mobility is playing an increasingly important role. Military airlift and tankers have supported crises and humanitarian efforts around the world. The effective application of non-lethal air power indicates that air mobility is an international asset of growing importance for responding to emergencies and protecting national interests around the globe.
Military Airlift and Tankers 2003 will address all aspects of Airlift and Tankers in the modern battlefield. As well as looking at how the Armed Forces will evolve, the conference will also give an insight into country specific requirements, doctrine, programmes and new technologies being developed for military airlift and tankers.
Air transport operations in the deployment of military forces have acquired an increasingly important role during the past few decades on both the strategic and tactical level. Air transport could be the quick answer that could be essential when there is a need for the timely employment of military forces to prevent or defeat an aggression.
This conference will consider governmental and military policy and doctrine and country specific acquisition plans looking at how a country operates its projects. The conference will also address major issues for the specific needs of military airlift and tanker equipment, equipment capabilities, impact of technology, future acquisition strategies for airlift and tankers and technology development.
