Air Dominance 2025 On-Site Survey Results

This past May, IDGA hosted the Air Dominance Summit, which featured two days of thought-provoking discussion surrounding the U.S. military's quest for air superiority. During the event, attendees came together from across the aerospace defense community, representing the US Air Force, the US Navy, allied nations, industry, and academia. Speakers at last year’s summit discussed fifth- and sixth-generation fighter programs, including the F-47, F/A-XX, CCA, FCAS, and GCAP, reflected on ongoing conflicts, and explored innovation in air supremacy.

Throughout the event, attendees were urged to participate in live polling to analyze the air superiority efforts of the U.S. Armed Forces. The following infographic displays how attendees responded to topics such as the U.S. Navy's air capabilities, the alignment of ongoing air defense efforts, and more. In 2026, Air Dominance will return to Henderson, Nevada, for the summit's 4th iteration.

From May 12-13, defense leaders around the world will gather to expand on last year’s topics as well as explore new themes such as lethality, survivability, artificial intelligence, autonomy, cloud computing, and real-time data.
