The future of allied air power : the United States Air Force / Brad W. Gladman.: D68-2/82-2014E-PDF
The primary purpose of this paper is to assist in focusing the Canadian Forces Aerospace Warfare Centre’s (CFAWC) concept development and experimentation efforts through an analysis of, in this case, the direction the US Air Force (USAF) seems to be taking in terms of major capability investment and concept development over the next ten or so years. While this will not be an exhaustive list of all the USAF’s capability development efforts, and will not deal with current capabilities that may be modified or adapted to meet operational requirements, it will highlight the current driving forces behind US strategic thinking, and will focus on the main areas of USAF capability investment and concept development. The selection of the USAF in isolation is intentional to keep the paper a manageable size, but it is acknowledged that subsequent papers dealing with United States Naval and US Army aviation will be needed to provide the kind of comprehensive understanding of US capability and concept development direction of value to theRoyal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and CFAWC.
