Strategy is the art of thinking about war before it occurs. Noting that space already plays a role in all of today’s wars, Space Strategy studies how conflicts are extending into this new domain. The book defines extra-atmospheric space and focuses on its varying features and constraints. By exploring the opportunities for action provided by different strategic positions, the book analyzes the most plausible combat scenarios from, against and within space. It explains the concepts of militarization, weaponization and martialization of space and shows how space systems constitute an essential component of information literacy – the key to power in the 21st Century. Space Strategy then demonstrates why our society, having become space-dependent, must take appropriate measures to develop its spatioresilience. Finally, the author summarizes his reflections in the form of a mnemonic listing twelve principles of space strategy. Completed by educational appendices and a glossary containing one thousand entries, Space Strategy meets the needs of students, researchers or any other reader curious about expanding their knowledge of strategy.
European Air Power examines the current state of eight separate European air forces and their prospective air power capabilities in a manner that will appeal to a wide audience of air force enthusiasts. Included are perspectives from independent air power experts reviewing the air forces of France, Germany, Turkey, and Great Britain as well as from the leaders of the air forces of the Nordic nations, including Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Within the national security framework of threats and challenges, and against the seemingly universal backdrop of lower budgets for defense, the contributors present varying views on the types of air power capability a state should have and those it does not need. The contributors consider each air force separately and how each is structured to remain sustainable and efficient in accordance with its national strategic infrastructure.

Just think: the last combat aircraft designed by the 74-year old HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd) with its expansive infrastructure was in the 1950s – and it was an excellent aircraft. Thirty years later an ad-hoc, interim institution called ADA (Aeronautics Development Agency) was set to design the LCA (Light Combat Aircraft) under the DRDO management. Thirty years later the aircraft has yet to enter service although the Indian Air Force has ordered 40 aircraft knowing they do not meet the qualitative requirements set in the early 1980s, leave alone the 21st century! Even the primary trainer for rookie pilots has just begun to be imported. Obviously something is wrong for a long time; and ...
"With a foreword by Air Vice-Marshal Tony Mason"--Cover.
Le présent ouvrage offre un tour d’horizon comparatif des stratégies militaires contemporaines. Après avoir relaté l’évolution du concept de stratégie, il en retient l’acception militaire. Puis il rappelle la réflexion du maître de la pensée militaire : Clausewitz. Sur le fil conducteur clausewitzien, sont analysées, d’une part, les stratégies classiques (aéroterrestres), en retrait relatif, d’autre part, les stratégies nucléaires, les stratégies navales et aériennes, les stratégies subversives et contre-subversives (la guerre irrégulière et la contre-guerre irrégulière), les plus pratiquées depuis le second XXe siècle. Le champ des stratégies militaires sâ€...

La stratégie est l’art de penser la guerre avant de la conduire. Constatant qu’il n’y a déjà plus de guerre sans l’espace, Stratégie spatiale étudie l’extension des conflits dans ce nouveau domaine. L’ouvrage délimite le milieu extra-atmosphérique et en présente les spécificités et les contraintes. Explorant les possibilités d’action offertes par différentes positions stratégiques, il analyse les scénarios plausibles d’un combat depuis, contre et dans l’espace. Il explicite les concepts de militarisation, d’arsenalisation et de martialisation de l’espace et montre comment les systèmes spatiaux constituent une composante essentielle de la maîtrise de l’...
Au cours du XXe siècle, l'arme aérienne s'est progressivement imposée dans l'art de la guerre, jusqu'à en modifier le paradigme. Depuis la guerre du Golfe de 1991, elle a joué un rôle à la fois central et préalable dans tous les conflits ou crises, qu'il s'agisse de projection rapide de forces, de surveillance globale du théâtre des opérations ou encore de frappes dans la profondeur à des fins de rupture stratégique ou de paralysie des troupes adverses. En outre, la conjugaison des progrès de la technique et des réflexions doctrinales récentes a fait de l'aviation moderne un outil politique par excellence. L art de la guerre aérienne, facilement accessible aux non-spécialis...
