Agenda Released for Air Mission Planning and Support 2018

London, United Kingdom, November 25, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The Air Mission Support market is active and operationally relevant as ever. With an aversion to placing boots on the ground in combat zones such as Syria and Iraq, air power is increasingly relied upon to project force. Commanders and procurers of air assets continue to seek new means of enhancing the combat effectiveness of their platforms. To do so, effective mission planning, real time support, and de-briefing is required.

SMi's two-day Air Mission Planning and Support conference will explore the technology and strategies necessary to take air mission planning into the next generation, providing agile end-to-end mission support to air crews. The conference will deliver an examination of emerging technologies in key areas, presented by industry and research leaders. This will be combined with operational case studies and key programme updates from commanders and military project leaders, to develop key requirements and solutions for enhancing air mission planning and execution

Highlights for 2018 conference include:

New for 2018 - Listen to air capability delivery and development insights from two major air forces - UK and USA
Hear perspectives from the Royal Jordanian Air Force on air mission planning and support
Discover technological upgrades and advancements for 5th generation aircraft and systems
Learn how to respond to emerging global threats through maximising joint air capabilities
Immerse yourself in mission support training and simulation
