TRANSFORMING TRAINING FOR THE FUTURE FIGHT
Defence iQ are delighted to host a series of online discussion groups.
Taking place on December 7, the virtual discussion groups will bring together senior figures from international air forces and leading industry to explore the transformation of training for future operations in the air domain.
Chaired by Lt Gen (Ret’d) Tony Rock and Air Marshal (Ret’d) Stuart Evans, the online discussion groups will provide a touch-point for the military flight training community at a time when face to face engagement is difficult to arrange. Attended by Heads of Training and capability planners, the virtual discussion groups will address outsourced training, technologies to mitigate the pilot shortage, immersive solutions & VR, simulation & LVC, trainer aircraft requirements, and the transformation of the training syllabus for the next generation of airmen.
Recognising the strategic imperative to innovate through collaboration, the virtual discussion groups will provide a forum for knowledge sharing, network expansion, and international cooperation. The discussion groups will focus on the most pertinent elements of the MFT conference, set the scene for the physical event, and foster new partnerships ahead of physical iteration
