The Global Stage
For Air Power Leaders
Launched 20 years ago, DIACC has grown to establish itself as the world’s largest and most prestigious international forum for air power. Hosted by the UAE Air Force and Air Defense, DIACC is attended by air power leaders from over eighty nations worldwide and senior executives from across the full spectrum of technology providers.
The need for tomorrow’s air forces to advance from traditional approaches represents a generational shift in the design and delivery of future air power. Providing a vital platform for allies and partners to converge at leadership levels to share the latest perspectives, lessons learned, and outlooks on future force planning, DIACC keeps the strategic discussion moving forward.
