Badge: Or a compass rose Azure and Argent, overall a double-headed raven displayed Sable embellished Azure and Purpure.
Motto: AGILE.

Origin/meaning

The raven is a bird of wisdom and cunning who is a divine agent associated with the prophecy of battle in various traditions of western mythology. Its two heads have themselves a double meaning: to look to the past in order to foresee the future, and to understand both the theoretical and the applied aspects of aerospace warfare. The compass rose symbolizes the mandate of the Aerospace Warfare Centre to guide the air force’s operational aerospace capability. Its alternating blue and white compass points represent sky and cloud respectively. The motto AGILE reflects the unit’s responsiveness and adaptability at all time.

The badge was approved on february 20, 2009.
