Tuesday 22nd April 2008: Campaign Management – Where Do We Stand? As we look forward to the Future, the Military Day pauses to consider whether we have taken note of lessons learned in previous campaigns and are developing concepts, process and technologies to increase our capabilities to meet the inevitable complex challenges that lie ahead. We will look at Campaign Preparation, Situational Awareness, and Execution and Control, to identify requirements and shortfalls that may need addressing. Wednesday 23rd April 2008: Enabling the Future - The Technology Dimension In the Centenary Year for British aviation, we naturally reflect on the changes in technology the last century has brought and speculate on what the future might bring. Predicting changes in technology over the next century would be a daunting task, but in this session we will attempt to see forward for a few decades. Many developments in technology will be responses to the needs of the market, but innovations will also arise out of new technologies being developed. We will look at some of the visions in the UK and Europe and consider the processes and collaborations planned to foster innovation and development. Thursday 24th April 2008: The Future of Civil Air Transport Operations - Today’s Priorities for Tomorrow’s Gain With high demand for air travel, there is a compelling need to look forward to how the civil air transport industry will overcome influencing environmental, economic and political factors to continue its expansion and growth over the coming years. The area of operations is where we can achieve the most immediate impact on the big issues facing aviation: climate change, local air quality, noise, congestion and security. As such, this final day of the RAeS Annual Conference will consider today’s priorities and what is being done to address them now in order to bring benefits to the industry for the next few decades. The CEAS Political/Economic conference is included within the RAeS Annual Conference, Aerospace 2008: The Way Forward
