AP 531(S) - The Future of Airpower

OVERVIEW: This seminar is the culmination of the Airpower class. Students should have a good grasp of the founding theory and thinking about airpower, and the uses of airpower in warfare. They should also have a good foundation in the events that marked the history of airpower to the present and into the near future. This seminar will be the closing arguments in the readings, and the subsequent discussion, on the future of airpower, in academic opinion, and ultimately your own. Students should be prepared to discuss their own views on the future of airpower, based on personal experiences, the Airpower Studies course, and the information from other classes at ACSC. Ultimately, students should be comfortable speculating about what the future holds for Air, Space, and Cyber Power.
