L'union fait la force : future trends shaping the interoperability between CANSOFCOM and the Royal Canadian Air Force / Major David Johnston.: D4-10/24-2019E-PDF ; D4-13/24-2019E-PDF

"This publication represents Major David Johnson's thesis for the Masters of Defense Analysis degree from the Naval Post Graduate School in Monterey. … Major Johnson's monograph addresses the importance of a dedicated CANSOFCOM requirement for airpower. Significantly, his work qualitatively analyzes eight trends that Canada should address to optimize special operations forces (SOF) airpower, namely: remote piloting; artificial intelligence and machine autonomy; processing, exploitation, and dissemination (PED); Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR); SOF mobility; precision strike; Alternative Service Delivery; and fuel sources. His study of these trends produces a number of noteworthy implications for Canada and allied like-minded nations. Not surprisingly, Major Johnson's study calls for greater interoperability between CANSOFCOM and the Royal Canadian Air Force, arguing that both are stronger together"--Foreword, page ix.
