Space Power and the facts provided by history will be presented to all participants in the light
of expert appraisals. In this beautiful city, İstanbul, where continents meet, academicians,
specialists, senior executives and commanders, known for their significant studies within
aviation field coming from across the globe will gather and contribute greatly for two days.
The subjects to be discussed academically in ICAP Istanbul 2015, will ensure that today’s
and future changing principles of Air and Space Power are clearly understood with the
contributions of speakers from friendly and allied nations from all over the world. In ICAP’15’s
sessions an academic environment will be provided, in which participants will be able to
discuss openly. ICAP’15 is going to be meeting point for Air and Space Power specialists and
airmen to exchange ideas and beliefs on latest development in their specific fields and create
mutual understanding.
Conference consists of five sessions including plenary session. Please see session topics
below:
1st Session- Air and Space Power in Recent Crises and Conflicts
2nd Session- C2 and ISR Capability for Contemporary Air and Space Power

served as Director of the Combined Air Operations Center for Operation Enduring Freedom,
where he orchestrated air operations over Afghanistan during the period of decisive combat.
In 2005, he was the Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) for Operation Unified
Assistance, the South Asia tsunami relief effort, and in 2006 he was the standing JFACC for
Pacific Command.
General Deptula was the first Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance and
Reconnaissance (ISR), Headquarters Air Force. Responsible for policy formulation, planning,
and leadership of AF ISR and remotely piloted aircraft (RPA), he transformed those enterprises
setting a standard emulated by services and nations around the world. In 2009 he was
recognized as the Targeting Professional of the Year as the driving force in standing up the
Air Force Targeting Center. In 2010 he was awarded a Aviation Week & Space Technology
Aerospace Laureate Award for extraordinary accomplishment in national defense, and in

fighter command assignments in the F-15. Formerly, the CEO of a high technology company,
he is currently a board member on a variety of public, private and think-tank institutions; is
a senior scholar at the US Air Force Academy; and a sought-after commentator around the
world as a thought leader on defense; strategy; and ISR.
Born in Dayton, Ohio, General Deptula earned his B.A. with distinction in astronomy at
the University of Virginia where he was commissioned as an Air Force officer in 1974 as a
distinguished graduate from Air Force ROTC. He remained at the University of Virginia to
