›Air and Space Power Conference 2020

Despite the impact and restrictions resulting from COVID-19, this year’s Air and Space Power Conference is still going ahead albeit in a virtual format broadcast online on 15 July 2020. The gathering in London is, however, not taking place.

Our collective adaption to the challenges of working around the COVID-19 restrictions has given us an exciting opportunity, in the spirit of ‘Information Advantage for the Next Generation Air Force’, to demonstrate our flexibility and responsiveness. Our aim is to bring everyone together virtually so that we can take some important time to think, discuss and debate the challenges we face in this domain. It will also be an opportunity to reflect on everything we have learnt from our experiences through the pandemic. This event presents a great opportunity  for our partners, sponsors and delegates to participate virtually, noting however that the crux of the conference will now be more internally focused.

Further information on specific platforms, apps and availability will be forthcoming. We look forward to your continued support and participation. 

Information Advantage for the Next Generation Air Force

In an era of persistent competition in which the West’s qualitative edge is being eroded, the ability to think and act at a higher tempo than our adversaries will be a key determinant of future operational success.  Air and space forces will play a disproportionate role in achieving the Information Advantage on which multi-domain operational synergies will depend.  The Chief of the Air Staff’s 2020 Air and Space Power Conference will build on the multi-domain themes that were introduced at the 2019 Conference, and will examine how the Royal Air Force, Royal Navy and British Army, Government agencies, international partners and industry are working together to secure the cognitive edge which will secure enduring operational success.  Exploring how the human component is being leveraged in harmony with technology, organisational reform and conceptual development, the 2020 Chief of the Air Staff’s Air and Space Power Conference will mark a defining moment in placing Information Advantage at the heart of international air and space power debate.

“Information will be at the heart of the future air and space environment which is why achieving and maintaining Information Advantage is so important to all our futures. ASPC 20 will bring together a diverse mix from across the Royal Air Force, aerospace industry, and air and space power professionals. Our aim is to put Information Advantage at the forefront of the international air and space power debate. I commend the conference to you, and look forward to joining you online on the 15th July.”

Air Chief Marshal Mike Wigston, Chief of the Air Staff CBE ADC
