The Unit
Astra is the RAF's approach to grassroots innovation. It is enabling the whole force to deliver meaningful change through innovation, challenging the status quo, and continuous improvement.
A core team works within Air & Space Command and is supported by dedicated specialists on units across the RAF. There is also a continuously growing network of innovators in the whole force who are delivering change on a daily basis.
To succeed in a rapidly changing world, the RAF must be prepared to confront future threats, especially as technology advances. Our ability to think differently, question the norm, and embrace innovation will be crucial to our future success. This is why Astra is a part of how the RAF does business - unleashing the ingenuity of our people to rapidly identify and solve the problems that matter to them and our operational effectiveness.
