As near-peer adversaries advance their capabilities, achieving and maintaining air dominance has become critical to overall defense strategy. To secure superiority in the skies, there is an increasing need for enhanced lethality and survivability. This advancement is possible through the integration of cutting-edge technologies, including real-time data for faster and more effective decision-making, Artificial Intelligence, advanced sensors, next-generation weapons, and Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T).
The 2025 Air Dominance Summit will bring together leaders from across the defense and aerospace communities, including the US Air Force, the US Navy, allied nations, industry, and academia, to build on last year’s conference discussions. We will discuss loyal wingman programs like the Collaborative Combat Aircraft and sixth-generation fighter programs, including the Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance, the Navy's FAXX, and international programs like FCAS and GCAP. We will also cover sustainment of current systems including the F-35, reflect on current conflicts, and explore innovation in air supremacy.
Topics at the 2025 summit include improved lethality, survivability, artificial intelligence, autonomy, MUM-T, cloud computing, data, logistics, readiness and more. Together we will explore the ways in which they are rapidly shaping air superiority, and strategies for the future.
