We cordially invite distinguished delegates, stakeholders, and experts in the field of Joint Air and Space Power to attend our annual conference, which will take place from 8 to 10 October 2024 at the Congress Centre ‘Messe Essen’ in Essen, Germany. This event offers a forum to explore the theme of ‘Challenges and Opportunities for Air and Space Power in an Evolving Security Environment’.
Participants can look forward to a comprehensive two-day programme featuring intellectually stimulating panels, thought-provoking sessions, and active engagement and networking opportunities.
Beginning with Panel 1 – A World Reshaped: Navigating the Ripple Effects of Shifting Power Dynamics, we will explore the complex changes in global power dynamics and how they impact NATO’s strategic landscape. From emerging conflicts to evolving international relations and rapid technological advancements, this panel will set the stage for following panellists and speakers.
Panel 2 – Battlefield Evolution: The Role of Joint Air and Space Power in Contemporary Conflict will focus on the crucial role of Joint Air and Space Power in shaping modern conflicts. Through a detailed analysis of adaptability and innovation, panellists will discuss how connectivity and technological advancements have transformed warfare. By examining examples such as Ukraine’s innovations and the impact of connectivity on military operations, this session aims to shed light on the challenges and opportunities to operations brought by changing technology.
Panel 3 – Contested Air Superiority: Adapting to the Drone and Missile Age, will examine the implications of advanced drone and missile technologies on current offensive and defensive operational practices. As drones, loitering munitions, and precision missiles challenge traditional concepts of air dominance, this panel will bring together a group of experts to analyse the strategic, operational, and tactical consequences of these developments. Valuable insights will be shared to help maintain freedom of action in an increasingly contested airspace.
In conclusion, Panel 4 – The Role of Industry: Bolstering Deterrence Through Enhanced Capabilities will highlight the crucial partnership between defence agencies and industry in maintaining technological superiority. This panel will explore how industry can support NATO’s efforts in advancing emerging technologies and adapting to the changing nature of warfare. From production capacity to technological innovation, this session will provide a thorough evaluation of options to preserve our technological advantage.
