International Fighter Conference (IFC)

COMBAT AIR POWER FOR THE MULTI-DOMAIN BATTLESPACE Now in its 24th year, the International Fighter Conference (IFC) has gained a reputation as the world’s leading conference bringing together the greatest minds in combat aviation. We are delighted to confirm that IFC will be returning to Berlin in 2024 to bring together experts from across continents, who are working to ensure air superiority as the domain becomes increasingly contested. With many Future Combat Air Systems under development, from NGAD and FCAS, to GCAP and F/A-XX , there is much discussion around the technologies available & the operational environments that these systems will contend with when they enter service, as well as the growing role of industry expertise in these programmes. Nations are working to integrate key systems into existing platforms, which will enable the use of manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T), artificial intelligence, and electronic warfare in future operations. Ensuring interoperability between these emerging capabilities and existing aircraft will be paramount to the success of air combat systems.
