Reach, Readiness, Resilience: Optimising Rotary Capabilities to Confront Future Threats
Over the past sixteen years, International Military Helicopter has built a reputation as a vital strategic forum for international industry, partners and allies, welcoming over 200 commanders, pilots and programme managers to discuss major procurement programmes, share doctrine and training methods, and learn about emerging rotary-wing technologies. As army, air and naval commanders look to confront both asymmetric and near-peer threats on land and at sea, 2018 will be a timely opportunity for the military community to shape their strategic vision for helicopter operations in contemporary and future battlespaces.
