Description

The Chief of the Air Staff’s Global Air & Space Chiefs’ Conference 2023 brings together global leaders in Air and Space Power with captains of industry and technology, enhanced by experts from international academia.
This year’s conference is themed ‘Global Air and Space Power’ and will explore perspectives of delivering Global Air and Space Power through regional lenses, including the High North, the Eastern Area of the NATO Alliance and the Indo-Pacific. Panel sessions will involve a spectrum of Air and Space Chiefs covering their respective areas of expertise as well as a review of progress towards more sustainable operations.
Keynote Speakers are expected to include a leading UK Minister, the Chief of the Air Staff, and International Chiefs of Air and Space Forces. They will provide their unique perspectives on the criticality of maintaining cutting edge air and space power capabilities to operate and if necessary to fight and win across a spectrum of operations, regions and domains, simultaneously.
Panel sessions will cover the following:
Sustaining Net Zero Operations
Our expert panel will review the collective progress made by Air Forces following agreement of our Global Air Chiefs Climate Change Collaboration last year. This will include how we are making proactive steps towards operating more sustainably and will examine how we have to evolve to effectively sustain operations within a climate-changed world.
NATO, The Eastern Flank and The High North
This session will examine the air and space power implications and lessons identified from the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and what they mean for the defence and security of our airspace. The clear focus will be upon achieving credible deterrence and maintaining freedom of manoeuvre and air superiority against near peer rivals. And how we can learn from and adopt best practices from our fellow air forces when addressing the tyranny of proximity.
The Indo-Pacific
Expert speakers will examine the threats posed to this region of key strategic significance from evolving air and space powers, and how our air and space forces will have to prepare for a transition from constant competition to enduring confrontation. This will include an analysis of the air and space capabilities, connectivity, command and control and coalition cohesion which will be required when addressing the tyranny of proximity.
Space & Emerging Technology
The criticality of the space domain to our current and future operations will be the focus of our specialist international panel, who will also address the conundrum of the civilisation as opposed to the militarisation of space. Our technological experts will cover their expectations of the forthcoming epochs of technological evolution, including what they will mean for our civil and military capabilities.
Assistant Chief of the Air Staff (Strategy), Air Vice-Marshal Simon S. Edwards
‘As ever, we are very much looking forward to CAS Global Air & Space Chiefs’ Conference. It has never been more important to come together and share perspectives and thinking on how best to employ and develop air and space power. This matters as we seek to safeguard our collective security and prosperity against the spectrum of strategic threats which face us all.’Tickets on sale now
