| Language: | English | Abstract: | In the thesis, we critically evaluate the air power of the Slovenian Armed Forces in the context of contemporary threats in the airspace. The focus is on both theoretical and empirical aspects of air power, including the significance of the air domain, capabilities and types of air operations, and weapon systems for air power projection. The research findings indicate the necessity of continuous technological advancement and development of appropriate capabilities for effective detection, tracking, and neutralization of threats in the national airspace. Collaboration with NATO and other international partners, which further enhances national security and improves responsiveness to threats, is also important. The proposals we have formulated based on research findings lead to the improvement of existing and the development of new capabilities, and the integration of various air capabilities into a unified defense system of Slovenia, with particular attention to adapting capabilities to counter threats posed by civilian aircraft used for terrorist purposes. The thesis also clearly highlights the need for a holistic approach to studying air power, which includes technological, operational, and organizational aspects to achieve and maintain air superiority and ensure the security and sovereignty of Slovenian airspace. | Keywords: | air domain, air power, airspace defence, contemporary security threats, trends, technology |
