Inaugural Conference on the role of Airpower in COIN and Irregular Warfare

Airborne Counter-Insurgency: Why Now?

In response to the demand from stakeholders and influencers in COIN doctrine and planning, as well as Air Power operations, procurement and strategy, the Airborne Counter-Insurgency conference is designed as a forum at which ideas, challenges and solutions can be exchanged in the highly significant field of air based platforms and irregular warfare.

How does this affect you?

Fighting COIN campaigns is the overriding contemporary challenge for armed forces, and acquiring and allocating appropriate resources rests on deepening knowledge of what the specific ramifications of COIN are for aircraft and the orientation of air forces.

  • How can air assets contribute to COIN?
  • What are the merits and drawbacks of utilising air platforms for COIN? How are countries using aircraft in Afghanistan?
  • What is the basis of the doctrinal differences regarding the applicability of air power in COIN campaigns?

These are a just a few selections of the pertinent issues that Airborne COIN 2010 will address – View the full agenda now.
