Command of the Aerospace: Convergence of Theory and Technology in Shaping an Aerospace Force for 2025

Abstract

This report develops an operational perspective for future aerospace operations that codified the interaction between a balanced offense and defense as the fundamental premise of aerospace power. In addition, a technological perspective is developed that seeks to provide a balanced, predominantly nonnuclear offensive and defensive force structure consistent with a coherent pattern of employment. These converging perspectives are combined into an aerospace vision for future aerospace operations.
