AIAA DEFENSE Forum 2027

About AIAA DEFENSE Forum

AIAA DEFENSE Forum is a forum scheduled for 15–19 March 2027 at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), Laurel, United States. The 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel brings space systems and missions, engineering and technology, science and applications and policy and commercial context together rather than treating them as separate subjects. The 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel uses a programme-led format built around specialist presentations, discussion and direct exchange between the communities represented. This format gives space-sector leaders a practical way to compare technical priorities, current applications and the organisations active at the 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel. For the 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel, the connection between space systems and missions and engineering and technology is central: one establishes the primary subject, while the other shows how that work is developed, tested or applied. The 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel also places science and applications beside policy and commercial context, making the interfaces between research, engineering, policy and delivery easier to follow.

Event history and organiser

The 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel forms part of a continuing event series. For the 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is the organiser and publishes the information used to plan attendance. Across this series, the stable thread for the 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel is attention to space systems and missions, engineering and technology and science and applications; dates, venues and programme details are set for each individual meeting. Continuity for the 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel comes from its specialist community and subject focus, not from repeating an identical agenda from one meeting to the next. The 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel meeting at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL), Laurel, United States gives the series a specific host-city and venue context while retaining its established professional purpose. American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is therefore the authoritative source for distinguishing the 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel from archived information about earlier meetings.

Topics and themes

The AIAA Laurel forum connects its core subjects through the forum format, showing how specialist work moves between research, engineering, policy and practical use.

• Space systems and missions: At the AIAA Laurel forum, this theme establishes the main technical context and links it with engineering and technology in current projects and professional practice.
• Engineering and technology: AIAA Laurel forum sessions help participants understand how engineering and technology depends on science and applications, shared methods and informed technical decisions.
• Science and applications: The AIAA Laurel forum uses this subject to connect specialist evidence with policy and commercial context and the organisations responsible for delivery.
• Policy and commercial context: Work at the AIAA Laurel forum focuses on the constraints, methods and applications that shape policy and commercial context, including its relationship with professional collaboration.

Who should attend?

The principal audience for the 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel is space-sector leaders, technical and programme teams and government and agency stakeholders. In Laurel, these groups can use the forum to place space systems and missions beside engineering and technology and identify the programme areas closest to their responsibilities. Commercial organisations bring a complementary perspective where their work intersects with the professional community at the 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel. Researchers and students may also find a strong fit in Laurel sessions addressing science and applications. The 2027 AIAA forum in Laurel is less suited to people seeking unrelated general-interest content because its value comes from a defined focus on space systems and missions.
