Air Dominance 2024 On-Site Survey Results

This past May, IDGA hosted the Air Dominance Summit, which featured two days of thought-provoking discussion surrounding the US 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 4th/5th, and 6th generation fighter programs, including NGAD, FAXX, 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 US Armed Forces. The following infographic displays how attendees responded to topics such as agile acquisition, MUM-T, and more.

In 2025, Military Flight Training will return to the Las Vegas area for its third iteration. From May 13-14, 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.
