The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, officially known as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Air and Space Force (IRGCASF; Persian: نیروی هوافضای سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی, romanized: niru-ye havâfazây-e sepâh-e pâsdârân-e enghelâb-e eslâmi, acronymed in Persian as NEHSA), is the strategic missile, air, and space force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It was renamed from the IRGC Air Force to the IRGC Aerospace Force in 2009.
Besides operating military aircraft alongside its counterparts in the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force, the IRGC Aerospace Force is also responsible for space warfare through its military satellite program. Most importantly, it oversees the ballistic missile program of Iran, which includes the deployment and operation of an arsenal of intermediate-range, and medium-range ballistic missiles with ranges over 2,000 kilometers, considered one of the cornerstones of the Islamic Republic's strategic deterrence and defense doctrine.
