The 2024 Air and Space Power Conference delivered the inaugural Clear to Launch Junior Aviator Symposium (CTLJAS).
2024 Air and Space Power Conference, National Convention Centre, Canberra, 8-9 May 2024.

The conference delves into lessons from recent conflicts and industry experience to position national air and space power for current and future strategic challenges. The conference examines these issues in the context of the Defence Strategic Review, the current regional environment and future threat casting to build resilience in an ‘always operating’ model. A holistic view of National defence will be addressed through insights from the PM&C Taskforce and the industry approach to embracing the uncertain future to reduce fragility.
