Analyses the future role of air power in the defence of Australia by beginning with an examination of the nature of future contingencies and broad consequent requirements. Discusses some of the more pertinent requirements in detail such as platforms, weapons, avionics, mission support systems, simulation, anti-ballistic missile defence and non-lethal technologies. This discussion then leads to an examination of what has been termed the Military Technical Revolution (MTR). Concludes with comment on future force structure issues based on what has been said so far and a brief examination of the emerging technologies which can support that structure.

Air power has been one of the key elements in modern warfare. This book, first published in 1986, analyses the likely changes to this key role as military technology and strategic thinking evolve. It begins with the history and present status of air power and assesses technical developments, and then discusses the character of future warfare, and its implications for planes and helicopters in land and sea campaigns. It also analyses issues like tactical air mobility, the vulnerability of airfields, aerial mass destruction, electronic warfare, and developments in NATO and Warsaw Pact. It concludes with an overview of the likely role of airpower in future warfare.

In contemporary conflict, air forces are being increasingly compelled to operate under constraints that impair their effectiveness, while at the same time having to confront asymmetric threats and diffused adversaries. The effective employment of air power is an intricate, complex and multi-faceted process that can be adversely affected by these constraints. This book identifies and explains seven perennial challenges that air forces face in the generation, sustainment and application of air power in the pursuit of national security. These constraints range from environmental factors, demographic changes, impact of the media and political imperatives, to the national ethos regarding attrition tolerance and the unacceptability of collateral damage. The topics covered are diverse and broad but impact critically on the optimum employment of air forces.

In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

This volume commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (SDSC). The Centre is Australia’s largest body of scholars dedicated to the analysis of the use of armed force in its political context and one of the earliest generation of post-World War II research institutions on strategic affairs. The book features chapters replete with stories of university politics, internal SDSC activities, cooperation among people with different social and political values, and conflicts between others, as well as the Centre’s public achievements. It also details the evolution of strategic studies in Australia and the contribution of academia and defence intellectuals to national defence policy.

Doctrine is the lifeblood of military forces and provides them with the foundation to conduct successful operations. The veracity of any doctrine is completely dependent on it being relevant to current and future operations -- essentially by its very nature doctrine is dynamic. National security perceptions and definitions have evolved in the past few decades and now cover an enlarged envelope of imperatives and interests. As a result the military forces of nation-states have had to increase the spectrum of their capabilities to cover a spread that encompasses humanitarian assistance on the one end to high-end warfighting on the other. The military forces have achieved national objectives so far by relying very heavily on their inherent flexibility. This monograph, A Fresh Look at Air Power Doctrine, evaluates the development of military doctrine -- with a detailed analysis of air power doctrine -- and its relationship to national security doctrine at the grand strategic level. It argues that, in order to remain relevant, there is now a perceived need to revisit the basics of doctrine and its development process in order to refine them to reflect the contemporary realities of military operations that support international security requirements. -- Publisher's Description.

For nearly two decades the United States Air Force (USAF) oriented the bulk of its thinking, acquisition, planning, and training on the threat of a Soviet blitzkrieg across the inter German border. The Air Force fielded a powerful conventional arm well rehearsed in the tactics required to operate over a central European battlefield. Then, in a matter of days, the 1990 invasion of Kuwait altered key assumptions that had been developed over the previous decade and a half. The USAF faced a different foe employing a different military doctrine in an unexpected environment. Instead of disrupting a fast paced land offensive, the combat wings of the United States Central Command Air Forces (CENTAF) were ordered to attack a large, well fortified, and dispersed Iraqi ground force. The heart of that ground force was the Republican Guard Forces Command (RGFC). CENTAF's mission dictated the need to develop an unfamiliar repertoire of tactics and procedures to meet theater objectives. How effectively did CENTAF adjust air operations against the Republican Guard to the changing realities of combat? Answering that question is central to this study, and the answer resides in evaluation of the innovations developed by CENTAF to improve its operational and tactical performance against the Republican Guard. Effectiveness and timeliness are the primary criteria used for evaluating innovations.
