The 10th Annual Air Mission Planning and Support conference is taking place London on the 9th and 10th April 2019, where delegates will have the opportunity to learn from senior military and industry experts about how air power can be maximised.

The 2019 agenda features 15+ in-depth presentations on the latest developments in air mission planning, including updates to 5th generation jets and rotary systems, as well as how we can achieve standardisation and improve data management systems amongst allied nations.
The conference will provide a precise and accurate forum for discussion led by commanding officers, senior leaders, academics, and industry experts, with the goal of taking a stand in pushing technological development, bringing together friends and allies, and improving awareness of real-world dynamics.
