SMi Group Reports: Registration is now open for the 19th annual Military Airlift and Air-To-Air Refuelling conference, taking place 4 5 December 2018 in Rome, Italy.
- (1888PressRelease) June 22, 2018 - SMi is proud to announce the return of the long-running Military Airlift and Air-To-Air Refuelling conference to Rome, Italy on the 4th and 5th December 2018, with a brand-new pre-conference focus day on Air-Air Refuelling on the 3rd December 2018.
The airlift sector in constant development, with more than 800 new platforms set to be delivered at a combined value of over $65 billion in the next 10 years. The need to transport troops, cargo, medical supplies, vehicles and other mission-critical equipment remains fundamental to any defence force that aims to deploy globally. The importance of ready rapid response to ensure these forces can be mobilised and moved quickly is crucial for any expeditionary operation.
Sustaining and maintaining this air mobility feeds into the second aspect of this important event. Air-to-air refuelling remains vital in delivering extended flight time for both transport and strike components of an air force, without which extended aerial deployments would simply not be possible.
This years two-day conference key focuses include:
Forward basing and expeditionary operations
International operability
Training
Airlift platform acquisition
Air-to-air refuelling
Medevac
Pooling and sharing
Tactical, humanitarian and strategic airlift
