  1. Aerospace Power Defined

  2. Overview • Define Aerospace Power • Competencies • Functions • Doctrine • Discuss the Principles of War & Tenets of Aerospace Power

  3. Aerospace Power The integrated application of air and space systems to project global strategic military power. AFDD-1

  4. Aerospace Power • Integrated application • Air and space systems • To project global strategic military power

  5. Aerospace Power (3 Associated Terms) • #1: Competencies (capabilities) • Aerospace expertise, capabilities, and technical know-how distinctive to the United States Air Force • Aerospace Superiority • Precision Engagement • Information Superiority • Global Attack • Rapid Global Mobility • Agile Combat Support

  6. Counterair • Counterspace • Counterland • Countersea • Counterinformation • Strategic Attack • Combat Search • Navigation • Air Refueling • Spacelift • Special Ops • Intelligence • Surveillance • Reconnaissance • Airlift • Weather Services • Command & Control Aerospace Power • #2: Functions (missions) • Broad, fundamental, and continuing activities of air and space power not unique to the Air Force

  7. Aerospace Power • #3: Doctrine - A belief in the best way to implement/use aerospace power • Based on: • History • Technology • Leaders, etc. • Provides Guidance • Must NOT stagnate

  8. Doctrine - Examples • WWI • Armies vs. Machine Gun • WWI • Daylight, High Altitude, Unescorted Precision Bombing

  9. Principles of War “those aspects of warfare that are universally true and relevant” - Joint Pub 1

  10. Principles of War • Historically tested • Apply equally to all U.S. Armed Forces • Unity of Command, Objective, Offense, Mass, Maneuver, Economy of Force, Security, Surprise, Simplicity

  11. Tenets • Fundamental truths that are unique to the aerospace environment. Flexibility/Versatility Priority Synergistic Effects Persistence Concentration Balance Centralized Control and Decentralized Execution

  12. Conclusion • Defined Aerospace Power • Competencies & Functions • Defined Aerospace Doctrine • Belief in the best way to use aerospace power • Defined the Principles of War & Tenets of Aerospace Power • Fundamental Truths
