Brexit has absorbed much of the UK Government's attention and dominated both the Parliamentary agenda and the media’s interest in events. Consequently, the Society has been in demand for advice and perspectives on the implications. Yet 2018 also saw major progress in a number of significant aviation and aerospace endeavours. The welcome release of the Aerospace Sector Deal demonstrated the firm intent shared by government and industry to transform the sector by funding research and development in a number of novel technologies that will have a huge impact Chief Executive of the RAeS, Sir Brian Burridge, KCB, CBE, on the air travel experience of tomorrow.

En accord avec le Directeur Général de l’Aviation Civile et le Chef d’état-major de l’armée de l’air qui vont nous faire l’honneur d’ouvrir et de clore cette journée, le comité de pilotage de RACAM, composé de tous les partenaires de cette manifestation annuelle, a choisi cette année pour thème « La sûreté aérienne face aux nouvelles menaces ». Ce sujet est naturellement au cœur de l’objectif général des rencontres et de sa devise « Civils et militaires : bâtir un ciel plus sûr ». Au sein de nos sociétés contemporaines dont une des caractéristiques essentielles est la liberté et la mobilité des individus, les attentats du 11 septembre sont venus rappeler la vulnérabilité des réseaux de transports aériens. La sûreté des transports aériens représente donc un enjeu symbolique de premier ordre, compte tenu de la forte visibilité des catastrophes aériennes et de leur impact psychologique.

During what can only be described as a tumultuous political year, our nation experienced a presidential campaign unlike any other I can recall. National security factored promi- nently in the campaign, particularly in several of the debates. AUSA, true to our non-par- tisan tradition, provided a platform for the advancement of a strong defense based on our uniquely American values. “America’s Purpose,” a short, but impactful, document published by AUSA, offered thoughts of how the next president, irrespective of party, might craft an effective foreign policy. This initiative, led by GEN Gordon Sullivan, U.S. Army Retired, LTG Guy Swan, U.S. Army Retired, LTC Douglas Merritt and Richard Lim, presented GEN Carter F. Ham, U.S. Army “America’s Purpose” to the most senior advisors to both leading presidential candidates. Retired, President & CEO, AUSA You’ll find “America’s Purpose” in the Publications section of our website and I encourage you to read it. For us at the AUSA National Office, the biggest change was the retirement of General Sullivan after more than 18 years as president & chief executive officer.
