The International Fighter Conference (IFC), now in its 23rd year, has gained a reputation as the world's premier event for all elements of the fighter aircraft community. We are delighted to confirm the 2023 IFC will take place in Madrid with the formal support of the Spanish Air and Space Force.
With many Future Combat Air Systems under development from NGAD to FCAS to TEMPEST to TF-X'there is alot of active discussion on the technologies available and the operational environemnts that these systems will have to contend with when they enter service 2040+
Work to develop, refine, and operationalise key technologies to enable Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T); Artificial Intelligence (AI); dominance of the electro-magnetic spectrum; Live Virtual and Constructive (LVC) Training; Real-time data fusion are underway. There are many technical and ethical challenges to overcome from bandwidth, latency, to rules of engagement and autonomous lethality.
At the same time, with the Russia-Ukraine conflict focussing minds on the ability of nations to fight tonight and defence thier air space there are also pressing priorities. All this at a time of budget contraints and inflation. Tough decisions needs to be made and senior leaders need to act decisively and invest wisely. Challenges include delivering operational effect; sustainment and logistics; delivering airpower from dispersed locations; and the use and replenishment of munitions - including industry capacity and supply chain resiliency.
Attracting over 300 attendees drawn from both senior military officers (60%) and industry personnel (40%) spanning the globe from the Americas, and Europe, to the Middle East and Asia the forum provide an annual opportunity for experts to keep at the cutting edge of airpower delivery in a quickly evolving operating environment.
