This symposium advantage of this opportunity by continuing to promote critically explains how we organize and use our current Sri Lanka as the global centre for maritime business, national capabilities to identify, assess and address promoting a stable maritime domain and the freedom of maritime security issues at home and overseas, and how the seas, and maintaining the Sri Lanka's position as a we intend to improve our ability to do so in future driver of international cooperation and consensus. 01 MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY TO THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE It is with great pleasure that I issue this message for the Air Symposium 2015 of Sri Lanka Air Force. The great prominence that the Indian Ocean Region has taken in recent years in contemporary international affairs is evidence of the shift in the global balance of power. The rapid emergence of our Neighboring, India and China as Power houses in today's global stage is testimony to the emerging dynamics as regional giants which also means that Sri Lanka, a small island nation, is now potentially right in the Centre of this emerging world. I am happy therefore, that the Sri Lanka Air Force has taken up the subject of Nation Building through Maritime Air Security as the theme for their Symposium this year is a very appropriate and timely topic for contemplation and consideration in today's geopolitical and security context. Having put behind us, the destructive effects of a three decade long separatist terrorist conflict, we are now striving to recover lost progress, in the hope that we will be able to regain our rightful place in the international arena. Being an island nation, the ocean and its environs are our lifeline. It is both a medium of communication with the rest of the world and a treasure trove of natural resources that will help us in our journey to greater development. However, the oceans and their environs are not without their hazards. Today, sea-based terrorism, hijacking, piracy, and human trafficking as well as other threats have also made the seas potentially unsafe. Maritime security has become not just a formality but a real, even dire, necessity. It is my firm belief that forums such as this will be the key medium through which we can gain better understanding on how to gain greater control cover the oceans around us, which would enable us to make maximum use of its potential for national growth and prosperity. I commend Commander of the Air Force for this vision and foresight in organizing an event of this nature and wish him, his men and all participants a great and fruitful interaction. Eng. KARUNASENA HETTIARACHCHI SECRETARY TO THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE 02 MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDER OF THE AIR FORCE It is with great pleasure that I send my sentiments on the occasion of the inaugural “Air Symposium - 2015”.Sri Lanka as a nation underwent immense hardship during the three decade long conflict retarding the nation's development and growth. During this turbulent period the total focus of the Sri Lanka Air Force was to concentrate on its core competency to defeat the terrorist effort. In this process Sri Lanka Air Force gained immense experience in mastering the intricacies of waging complicated, non-conventional isometric aerial warfare. The knowledge and experience gained is extensive, but its growth as an Air Force institution was limited to the practicalities of war fighting, whereas in comparison regional Air Forces have taken great strides. Thus, the inaugural Air Symposium has been aptly themed as ‘Nation Building Through Maritime Air Security', with the aim of looking towards a future, in which the Sri Lanka Air Force evolves, to influence activity beyond its shores and contributes to the transition of Sri Lanka from a post conflict country, to a developed Nation. The Indian Ocean which covers almost 20% of the world's surface has dominated the economic and political affairs of the region and the world since the beginning of history; and Sri Lanka which geographically straddles the strategic Indian Ocean sea route is of immense geopolitical value, thus being vulnerable to influence. In the economic context we as an Island are yet to fully exploit the abundant and diverse resources in our legitimate maritime zone. In the context securing these resources for viable use in the long term and also conservation, we need to possess the capacity to respond to the needs of their safety and security, the failure of which will result in their inaccessibility to our future generations. The National Security interests of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) are the core responsibility of the Sri Lanka Navy, whilst policing it is the role of the still very young Sri Lanka Coast Guard. Though rarely emphasized, the Sri Lanka Air Force too has a substantial responsibility in relation to the National Security, aspects, and conservation of the Exclusive Economic Zone. The greater active involvement of the Sri Lanka Air Force, utilizing its core competencies would provide to augment the role already played by the Sri Lanka Navy and the Sri Lanka Coast Guard. To meet this need we need to identify specifics, build capacity, share knowledge and participate in a wider spectrum of activity than done at present. Thus, this Air Symposium is a stepping stone towards redefining, with greater emphasis

  • Anuradhapura Air Base Attack: the Full Story
    Anuradhapura Air Base attack: The full story • Attack on Air Base makes mockery of govt's propaganda war • The base had no contingency plan The Sri Lankan Government’s propaganda war which used impressive slogans like ‘liberating the eastern province’, ‘sinking floating warehouses’, ‘restricting the Tigers to the Wanni’ and ‘crushing terrorism outside the north and east’ was made a futile exercise by a team of 21 members of the Black Tiger killer Squad of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and two dual engine light aircrafter that changed the entire situation in one night. Coming out of their hideout the Tiger team carried out a devastating attack on the highly fortified air base of the Sri Lanka Air Force at Anuradhapura early morning on Monday. Embarking on the first such attack in the world by a terrorist organisation, the LTTE launched a ‘Commando Style’ operation against a professional force placing the Government in a very embarrassing situation. During this attack, which resulted in the virtual control for over seven hours of the strategically crucial air base, the Black Tigers destroyed more than 80 percent of the assets of the base’s hanger including a multi-million dollar Beechcraft surveillance aircraft. The Anuradhapura Base acts as one of the main bases in forward operations for military activities in the North. This base is located about four kilometers away from the Sacred City of Anuradhapura on the banks of the scenic ‘Nuwarawewa’. In an environment of peace, the airfield and associated infrastructure at SLAF Anuradhapura plays a significant role in facilitating the passage of air traffic in this region.
