Main Conference Day One

Tuesday, March 13th, 2018

10:00 AM Senior Leaders’ Panel Are We Postured For The Full Spectrum Of Conflict?

How do we balance our force structure and capabilities to ensure that we can penetrate and persist in a highly contested, peer environment, whilst maintaining our advantage in humanitarian/peace operations or permissive, counter-terror or insurgency missions?

Implications for aircraft acquisitions:

• A light ISR aircraft need for permissive environments?

• A move away from exquisite or ‘big wing’ aircraft?

• The relevance of AEW&C aircraft?

• Adoption of unmanned, or manned-unmanned networks of aircraft?
