Air Superiority And The Anti Access/Area Denial Environment In The Asia pacific In 2044

Abstract

Americas strategic pivot to the Asia Pacific produces significant challenges to the United States. In addition, Anti-Access/Area-Denial (A2/AD) technology advances will challenge US operations in the next 30 years given planned enhancements to current weapons systems and current concepts of operations. Unfortunately, current operational concepts targeting this A2/AD conflict fail to solve all challenges. The US Air Force must achieve localized air superiority in an A2/AD environment to provide strategic effects in the Asia Pacific. These strategic effects include the adequate means of deterrence to protect our allies and international partners and enable sea control that current operational concepts do not provide.
