The opening keynote on the second day will provide an in-depth update on the latest developments and strategic initiatives from the United Kingdom Air and Space Command. As global defence capabilities continue to evolve, the integration of air and space domains has become increasingly critical to national security and operational effectiveness. This session will explore how the Air and Space Command is adapting to the challenges of modern warfare, from countering emerging threats in space to enhancing joint operations between air and space forces. Key themes will include the evolving role of space in defence strategy, the development of new technologies, and the growing importance of international collaboration. They will offer insights into the latest operational priorities, strategies for enhancing space domain awareness, and future visions for the intersection of air and space capabilities in defence. This session will set the tone for a forward-looking discussion on the intersection of military readiness, space security, and defence innovation.
