The Royal Air Force Centre for Air Power Studies (RAF CAPS) aspires to strengthen the relationship between academia and the RAF and to utilise the enhanced collaboration to develop and stimulate thinking about air power in both areas, as well as more broadly throughout the United Kingdom.
The RAF CAPS is ideally placed to enhance the RAF’s current and future operational effectiveness by improving the ability of the Service to apply lessons from the past to both the present and the future.
The Centre aims to:
• Act as the RAF’s centre for strategic and conceptual thinking about air power.
• Encourage and promote the study of air power, particularly within the Service and academia, but also throughout the broader intellectual community (including the media and think-tanks).
• Develop a reputation for academic excellence in air power studies in order to become the UK’s foremost centre for air power thinking.
• Undertake directed campaign studies and disseminate the lessons resulting from those studies.
• Act as an inclusive and non-partisan hub for the coordination and facilitation of collaborative air power activities in the UK.
