Great to be at a packed Air Power Assn conference. Important time to be discussing defence as Greg Bagwell is just saying! #gascc

Welcome from AVM Suraya Marshall, Assistant Chief of Air Staff, RAF - noting that despite technology of air power - "at the heart of what we do is a human endeavour". Over 60 air & space chiefs here today. #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Expert panel on Contemporary Air & Space Power with Justin Bronk Julia Balm Freeman Air and Space Institute , Brendan Mulvaney, China Studied National Defense U, Tom Jones. Northop Grumman, Jeffrey Harrgian, Lockheed Martin. #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Justin Bronk - "we are currently on a pathway to Ukraine losing" - warning that major war with Russia is coming. Focus on boosting ammo stocks, forget major procurements, saying "you don't have long" #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Julia Balm Freeman Air and Space Institute says that satellite images have had a "demonstrable impact" on war on Ukraine giving "unprecedented transparency" - including engaging open source researchers and the public #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Dr Brendan Mulvaney, China Aerospace Studies, NDU. "Stop talking about China as a near peer competitor. Its a peer competitor". Notes that China is already active in everyone's country, shaping the info battlespace. PLA Air power focused on keeping you out #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Tom Jones, President Northrop Grumman - 2 big lessons from current conflicts - 1. Speed of innovation (measure/counter measure/etc) 2. Need to apply these capabilities at scale to get tactical advantage. #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Q&A session now - with Justin Bronk predicting war in 2028 with Russia due to converging factors. But says good news is "air power is the key to deterrence" #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Great talk from US Space Force Gen Saltzman who notes that nuclear deterrence theory has bled over into other domains/conventional warfare. Need to remember there are limits to deterrence. #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Saltzman: "can we deter an attack on space assets? A better question is how do we defend against an attack on space infrastructure?". He notes that "space superiority" will now start to mirror "air superiority" #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs

Really thoughtful and substantive speech just now from General Chance Saltzman on the limits of deterrence theory as it applies to space. #GlobalAirSpaceChiefs Air Power Assn
