STRENGTHENING STRATEGIC AND TACTICAL AIRLIFT REQUIREMENTS

Connecting air transport and in-air refuelling operators with industry, Military Airlift 2023 will assess the interconnected challenges faced and the solutions sought by the airlift community. Focusing on improving equipment, capability, strategy and tactics, top level speakers and decision-makers will present their solutions and experiences over a structured two-day conference.

Dedicated sessions have been designed to discuss changing procurement processes with ‘part-pooling’ and ‘exchange’, Automated Air-to-Air Refueling (A3R), and the decreasing capability of legacy fleets.

Whilst these interdisciplinary conversations take place in an effort to deliver greater efficiency and cost-effectiveness for user groups, this event will also continue its rich history of delivering the latest operational feedback and performance analysis across the strategic and tactical mission sets.
