[1] Originally based at the Royal Air Force College, the Centre subsequently moved to the Defence Academy of the UK at Shrivenham operating under the leadership of the Director, Defence Studies RAF.
[2] The Centre brings together serving members of the RAF and air and space power academics from the UK and around the world to analyse how air and space power have been used in the past and the way in which it is used in the modern world.
It aims to act as the RAF’s centre for strategic and conceptual thinking about air power, to "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)".
Run by the successive Directors of Defence Studies (RAF), the Workshop develops and debates cutting-edge ideas on air power, working with a wide range of practitioners and academics.
Its outputs include articles in Air and Space Power Review and occasional books on air and space power matters, printed both by official sources and in conjunction with commercial publishers.
