Did you know the biggest challenge that the airlift community faces is interoperability? Defence IQ surveyed a wide range of experts, to highlight the main challenges in the airlift space, which technologies present the most potential and which ones are going to be the focus point of investment in the coming years. These themes will be addressed at this year’s Military Airlift, where top speakers from the military community, multinational organisations and NGOs will focus on improving equipment, capability, strategy and tactics.
