Welcome to the Air & Space Power Journal (ASPJ), the US Air Force’s (USAF) professional peer-reviewed journal and the leading forum for airpower thought and dialogue. ASPJ seeks to foster intellectual discussion and debate among air, space, and cyber power leaders, both domestically and internationally.
A Long, Rich History
Air University initiated publication of the Air University Quarterly Review in 1947, prior to the establishment of the US Air Force itself. Major General Muir S. Fairchild established this journal as a professional publication in the highest sense of the word—one that would reflect the best professional thought concerning global concepts and doctrines of air strategy and tactics. Since its inauguration, the journal has appeared under the titles Air University Quarterly Review (1947–63), Air University Review (1963–87), Airpower Journal (1987–99), Aerospace Power Journal (1999–2002), Air & Space Power Journal (2002–22), and Air & Space Operations Review (2022-2025). In 2025, the Press decided to return to the long-running name Air & Space Power Journal. Since 1947, this periodical has fulfilled its mandate to provide an avenue for Airmen, service members from other branches, ally and partner military members, and national security practitioners to present their original thinking on the subject of airpower and spacepower operations.
Air & Space Power Journal (ISSN Online: 3067-9729, ISSN Print: 3067-9710), Air Force Recurring Publication 10-1, published quarterly in both online and printed editions, is the flagship journal of the Department of the Air Force. It is designed to serve as an open forum for the presentation and stimulation of innovative thinking on military doctrine, strategy, force structure, readiness, and other matters of national defense. The views and opinions expressed or implied in the Journal are those of the authors and should not be construed as carrying the official sanction of the Department of Defense, the Department of the Air Force, Air Education and Training Command, Air University, or other agencies or departments of the US government.
