The Air Power Development Strategy is based on the Defence Policy Guidelines, the Bundeswehr Concept, and other Bundeswehr documents. The Air Power Development Strategy is an integral part of the 2014 Federal Aviation Strategy. It does not present in advance any positions of the 2016 White Paper but only descri- bes the current situation. If necessary, it will be updated following the publication of the White Paper. [5] The Air Power Development Strategy is an official Bundeswehr document and is applicable to the area of responsibility of the FMoD. It is a document designed for external use and describes the objectives of the FMoD in the third dimension. 6 AIR POWER DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY AIR POWER DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 7 Purpose and Objective 2 The Air Power Development Strategy describes create comprehensive roadmaps.

The Air Power Development Strategy also serves as a ba- sis for the development of internal Ministry documents. The detailed roadmaps for the further development of the German air component1 which are based on these documents pursue the capability goals of the Bundes- wehr and take into special consideration the require- ments of the Strategy Paper of the Federal Government on Strengthening the Defence Industry in Germany, which is aimed at ensuring multinational cooperation and maintaining and promoting key defence industrial technologies in the military aviation industry in Germa- ny and Europe. It provides starting points for defining the objectives and orientation of the German defence industry and for international cooperation in concep- tual, defence technological and operational areas.
