Royal Australian Air Force

The Royal Australian Air Force is a world-class military force operating some of the most advanced aircraft and defence technology in use anywhere today.

We may be the second oldest Air Force in the world, but we sure look young for our age! Since our formation in 1921 we have set a proud record protecting Australia alongside the Royal Australian Navy and Australian Army. This tradition continues today. Each day, our personnel deliver Australian air power, whenever and wherever, it is needed.

Built on the proud history and traditions of the Australian Flying Corps and the Royal Australian Air Force, we will fight and win by generating integrated kinetic and non-kinetic air and space effects across the sea, land, air, space and cyber operating domains.

Air Force provides immediate and responsive military options across the spectrum of operations as part of a Whole of Government joint or coalition response.

We exploit the air power characteristics of persistent and precision effect, flexibility, perspective, reach, penetration, versatility and responsiveness.

We are leaders in command and control of air and space operations; intelligence, surveillance and response; and targeting.

We are the leaders for strategic, operational, tactical, technical and logistic management of Australia's military aviation capability.
