Abstract

Rapid technological development has been a feature of air power from its inception. More recently, there has been growing recognition that air power is increasingly dependent on the cyber domain. As we try to make sense of the implications of cyberspace, various concepts have been proposed, with United Kingdom Air Power Doctrine developing the principles of Air-Cyber Integration. This article examines Air-Cyber Integration, with an explanation of some general concepts and a study of both defensive and offensive cyber operations and their relationship with air power. It considers technology and process, but most importantly, it reflects upon the need for airmen and women who can operate effectively in both the air and cyberspace domains.
