IAF Concludes Capstone Seminar of WASP Programme

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has concluded the Capstone Seminar of the fourth edition of the Warfare and Aerospace Strategy Programme (WASP). Conceived to cultivate strategic thinking among future leaders, WASP prepares officers to make informed operational decisions by understanding the broader politico-military context and long-term outcomes.

This edition included 12 officers – 10 from the IAF and two from the Indian Navy – who undertook intensive training combining military theory with political, technological, and behavioural analysis.

The six-month course featured analytical reading, written submissions, and expert-led discussions. The seminar was held under the aegis of the Centre for Air Power Studies and the College of Air Warfare.

The Chief of Defence Staff, attending as Chief Guest, spoke on the need for “scholar warriors” with the ability to link strategic intent to executable plans. Graduates of WASP go on to hold critical roles in strategic and operational planning across the armed forces.
