Subject(s): Summary: Suggests that modern air and space power will be the central building block of a new strategic paradigm. The authors argue that the combination of reach, speed, striking power, survivability, and information superiority conferred by air and space power today favours a "vertical" perspective on the conduct of war over the classic, terrain-bound, "horizontal" perspective. Effectively air and space will create a base of operations in a third dimension.
