AIR FORCE – SECURITY PROVIDER IN THE CURRENT CONTEXT OF THE CHANGING SECURITY ENVIRONMENT AND THE IRREGULAR WARFARE IMPLICITLY –

Summary/Abstract: The author approaches the issue of the Air Force as a security provider in the context of the changing security environment and of the irregular warfare. First, he presents the characteristics of the Air Force at all three levels of involvement of air activity: high-intensity operations, airspace control and specific actions of air power within joint operations. Then, he writes about the need for transforming the Romanian Air Force in order to meet the current security challenges, concluding that, in its efforts to strengthen the capacities of responding to new threats, Romania, as a member of NATO and the European Union, will have to achieve a reconfiguration of its air power in order to perform new types of missions within remotely conducted wars and operations, in peacetime, during crisis and at war.
