With the continued demands of expeditionary warfare and
humanitarian assistance, the ability to move men and materiel, both
strategically and within theatre, has never been quite so in demand.
It is crucial then that both military and industry react
to the changing requirements of military airlifters, ensuring that they have
the aircraft and equipment they need for now and the future.
Air Forces across the world are looking at ways to
enhance their reactions to the weighty demands placed, whether it is through
the purchase of new aircraft or refits of old, through the purchase of
equipment and upgrades, or through a greater level of training and
understanding of operational requirements. It is crucial then that industry
understands these pressures and so is able to provide greater payload capacity,
shorter runway needs, distance and range or a combination of these and other
capabilities.
Defence IQ's 7th Annual Military Airlift conference aims
to look at all these areas, with focus on both tactical and strategic
platforms, methods for increasing capability and capacity, pilot and crew
training and operational experience.
Taking place at Kingsway Hall in Central London on
November 29-30, Military Airlift will bring together military and industry in
this crucial field, with the aim of sharing information in order to assist the
air transport community in its reaction to the demands of 21st century warfare.
Military Airlift 2010 will cover the issues that matter:
•Examination of key platforms, including confirmed briefing on the Airbus
A400M
•Focus
on training - simulation versus ‘live flying'
•Operational focus - the challenges operators are facing and how they are
overcoming them
•A look
towards the developing capabilities and requirements of world-wide air
transport fleets
and airlift equipment, both tactical and strategic
•Focus
on efforts to pool strategic airlift capability
