Summary/Abstract: Future operational environment is characterized by substantial transformations that require the adaptation of classical criteria of analyzing Airpower. This environment will be complex, cluttered, contested, connected and constrained. Future risks, challenges and threats, so numerous and diverse, increase the complexity of Airpower engagement. Preparation and engagement of Airpower should consider more the adjustment of action means and strategies to the realities of the operational environment. Although the capabilities and effects that Airpower brings to the battle are not as visible as the land forces’, the Airpower remains an invaluable support of these forces.
