Investigating the nature of military threats, the results of recent wars in the world and the West Asian region, the increasing progress of military technologies, especially in the field of aerospace technology, the need for scientific attention to air defense and its combat power upgrading to cope with air threats Has made it inevitable. Combat power has three physical, non-physical and superior dimentions, which later play a prominent role in the combat power of the Armed Forces, including air defense. The aim of the research is to identify and explain the most important components of the superior dimension as well as to explain the role of the command and control component in upgrading the air defense combat power. The research is of applied-developmental type and its approach is mixed and case-field method has been used. in this study, theories of combat power, internal environment and in comparative studies the most important components of air defense of six foreign countries studied, for further enrichment of research with a number of experts in the field of air defense interviews have been conducted. The result of the research is the explanation and identification of 6 important components (including the command and control component) with 37 indicators of the superior dimension that have a significant impact on upgrading the combat power of air defense.
