The first major trade show of the fall kicks off on Monday, with the Air and Space Forces Association’s Air, Space & Cyber Conference at scenic National Harbor, Md. The Space Force has a new chief. The Air Force and Navy are burning through munitions with the ongoing US-Israeli war against Iran. And the Air Force is looking for a new, high-end drone platform after suffering the loss of MQ-9 Reapers over the Middle East.
Breaking Defense’s Aaron Mehta and Michael Marrow talk through those and other key considerations before the conference kicks off. Watch the video above to find out what they’re looking forward to at this year’s expo.
