China’s Military Exploring a New Track for Generating New Types of Combat Capabilities

中國軍方正在探索一條製造新型作戰能力的新途徑

現代英語:

President Xi Jinping emphasized the need to boldly innovate and explore new models for the construction and application of combat forces, and to fully unleash and develop new-type combat capabilities. This important instruction reminds us that new-type combat capabilities, as a key force for winning future battlefields, are crucial to the course of war, the transformation of development, and the outcome of combat. We must closely follow the evolution of the form of war and the requirements for fully unleashing and developing new-type combat capabilities, explore new avenues for generating new-type combat capabilities, and continuously improve their contribution to war preparedness and combat.

Empowering the development of new-type combat capabilities with science and technology. Technological empowerment is a key characteristic of the development of new-type combat capabilities. Historically, major technological advancements have always led to profound changes in the form and methods of warfare. Currently, the world’s technological and military revolutions are developing rapidly, urgently requiring us to break free from fixed mindsets and reliance on traditional paths, closely monitor the forefront of military technology to innovate tactics and training methods, and continuously explore effective means to accelerate the formation of informationized and intelligent combat capabilities. First, we must seize technological advantages. To enhance technological insight, awareness, and response speed, we must strengthen technological research in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and big data, boldly innovate the technological mechanisms of system confrontation, the lethality mechanisms of firepower strikes, and the combat mechanisms of information offense and defense, and improve the foresight, relevance, and effectiveness of technological innovation. Secondly, we must be adept at adapting to change. We must deeply understand the inherent mechanisms by which technology affects training, adhere to technology-enabled and technology-strengthened training, effectively utilize advanced technology in combat training, widely promote training methods such as “technology+” and “network+”, and continuously improve the level of combat-oriented training. Thirdly, we must strengthen the transformation and application of these technologies. We must keep a close eye on military combat readiness, innovate and explore new combat force construction and application models, actively expand the combat effectiveness of new domain and new quality equipment, focus on integrating new domain and new quality forces into the combat system, construct typical scenarios, innovate tactics and applications, and strive to create new combat capability growth poles.

Promoting the Development of New-Type Combat Capabilities through Force Integration. Force integration is a crucial aspect of building and developing new-type combat capabilities. Simply adding traditional combat systems will not generate new-type combat capabilities. Only by continuously promoting the integrated coupling of new combat concepts, new combat systems, and new combat platforms, and achieving mutual promotion and complementary advantages among various elements and units, can new-type combat capabilities truly emerge as a whole. First, ensure the integration of old and new. “New-type” is an evolution and upgrade of “old-type,” not a simple replacement. We must adhere to the principle of “establishing before dismantling,” and insist on starting from reality, developing “new-type” capabilities according to local conditions and the actual situation of combat capability construction, preventing and eliminating “favoring the new and discarding the old,” and low-quality and inefficient duplication of construction. Second, promote military-civilian integration. To establish and improve the mechanism for sharing military and civilian science and technology resources, we must break down the barriers between high-quality military and civilian resources, remove obstacles to sharing channels, promote the open sharing of resource elements and the joint creation and utilization of innovative achievements, and form a synergy for generating new combat capabilities. Secondly, we must achieve the integration of software and hardware. Future informationized and intelligent warfare will place greater emphasis on the overall linkage of combat elements. The degree of integration of “software” and “hardware” forces directly determines the effectiveness of combat capability generation and release and the course of the war. We must construct a combat force system that enhances system efficiency and promotes overall linkage, strengthen the layout of combat forces that are autonomously adaptable and interactively empowered, deeply address the contradictions and shortcomings in the mutual coordination of software and hardware, and promote the improvement of the quality and efficiency of the combat system.

Talent cultivation supports the development of new-type combat capabilities. Talent support is a crucial guarantee for the construction and development of new-type combat capabilities. As combat forms evolve towards unmanned, intelligent, and autonomous operations, the command system and organizational structure of the armed forces are becoming more streamlined, urgently requiring a new type of military talent pool. First, proactive training is essential. It is necessary to streamline the channels for cultivating and utilizing new-type military talent, integrating talent cultivation with the construction and development of new-type combat capabilities. Differentiating between different operational fields and professional positions, further precise standardization of talent standards and training paths is needed, along with strengthened training and experience, shortening the training cycle, and closely integrating and resonating with force development. Second, enhanced mission-based training is crucial. We must adhere to the principle of precisely aligning talent cultivation and utilization with the needs of military struggle and the development and application of new-type combat capabilities. We must fully utilize opportunities such as major missions and exercises to strengthen talent identification through rigorous testing, and promote a precise alignment between the supply side of talent cultivation and the demand side of the future battlefield. Thirdly, we must ensure precise management and utilization. We must grasp the laws governing the growth of military talent and the requirements for the development of new-type combat capabilities, innovate management concepts and methods, precisely allocate human resources, strengthen the professional, refined, and scientific management of the talent pool, and place talent in positions where they can best contribute to new-type combat capabilities to hone their skills and create a dynamic situation where people are well-suited for their positions and their talents are fully utilized.

Chinese Military AI Empowerment: Accelerating the Iterative Upgrade of Cognitive Electronic Warfare

中國軍事人工智慧賦能:加速認知電子戰迭代升級

現代英語:

In the invisible dimension of war, a silent contest has been raging for a century. From the electromagnetic fog of the Battle of Tsushima to the spectral chaos of modern battlefields, from the rudimentary metal chaff used during World War II to the cognitive electronic warfare systems incorporating artificial intelligence, electronic warfare has undergone a magnificent transformation from a supporting role to a pillar of war. It is now deeply embedded in the “operating system” of modern warfare, rewriting its form and rules. It is invisible and intangible, yet it profoundly controls the lifeline of battlefield operations; it is silent, yet it is enough to determine the life and death of thousands of troops. The balance of future wars will increasingly depend on who can see more clearly, react faster, and control more firmly in this silent yet deadly spectrum.

In modern warfare, the field of electronic warfare is evolving rapidly. The electromagnetic spectrum is considered an important operational domain after land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace, becoming a focal point for both sides to gain comprehensive dominance in joint operations. As warfare accelerates its evolution towards intelligence, cognitive electronic warfare, which integrates artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, is increasingly demonstrating its autonomous countermeasure advantages, becoming a crucial tool for paralyzing entities in the electromagnetic space.

New Needs of Intelligent Warfare

In informationized and intelligent warfare, information equipment is widely distributed, and unmanned intelligent equipment is deployed, making the battlefield electromagnetic environment increasingly complex. Due to the adoption of cognitive and adaptive technologies, radar and communication equipment are becoming increasingly resistant to interference, rendering traditional electronic countermeasures inadequate. Therefore, it is necessary to leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to endow electronic warfare systems with the ability to self-identify threats, extract threat source signals in real time, quickly organize and analyze them, determine the threat level and weaknesses of the signals, and promptly and effectively counteract them.

The need for precise perception. In modern warfare, to increase battlefield “transparency,” both sides extensively utilize electronic information equipment. Simultaneously, unmanned equipment and “swarm” systems are widely employed. On a battlefield filled with numerous information devices and massive amounts of electromagnetic signals, a single electronic warfare device may simultaneously receive radiation from dozens or even hundreds of other electronic devices, making signal identification extremely difficult. This necessitates that electronic warfare systems break through existing technological limitations, integrate big data analysis and deep learning technologies, enhance their perception capabilities, and comprehensively identify various electromagnetic radiation targets on the battlefield.

The need for intelligent countermeasures. Driven by emerging technologies, agile radar, frequency-hopping radios, and other equipment have been deployed extensively on the battlefield. These devices form a closed loop between transmission and reception, and can autonomously adjust their operating modes, transmission parameters, and waveform selection according to the environment, possessing autonomous interference avoidance capabilities. Traditional electronic warfare equipment, based on existing experience and pre-set interference rule libraries, has rigid functions and poor flexibility, making it unable to cope with emerging adaptive electronic targets. This necessitates that electronic warfare systems integrate intelligent algorithms to become “smarter,” possessing adaptive countermeasure capabilities of “using intelligence against intelligence.”

The need to disrupt networked systems. The winning mechanism of modern combat systems, when mapped onto the information domain, has spurred the networked operation of radar and communication systems. The aim is to eliminate the global loss of control caused by interference with a single device or part of the link through information fusion and redundant design, leveraging the resilience of the network system. Faced with networked information systems, electronic warfare systems need to embed intelligent countermeasure analysis and reasoning technologies, possessing the ability to effectively identify networked information systems in order to discover key nodes and critical parts, and implement targeted, integrated hardware and software attacks.

A New Transformation Driven by Digital Intelligence

Cognitive electronic warfare can be considered a combination of electronic warfare and artificial intelligence. It is a new generation of electronic warfare systems with autonomous perception, intelligent decision-making, and adaptive jamming capabilities, representing a major upgrade to traditional electronic warfare.

The shift from human to machine cognition. Advances in modern electronic technology have enabled electronic information equipment to offer diverse functions and multiple modes. Traditional electronic warfare systems rely on manually analyzed threat databases for countermeasures, which are only effective against known signal patterns and become significantly less effective against unknown threats. Cognitive electronic warfare systems, through autonomous interactive swarm learning and intelligent algorithms, can quickly intercept and identify signal patterns, analyze changing patterns, make autonomous decisions based on changes in the electromagnetic environment, optimize interference signal waveforms, and autonomously complete the operational cycle of “observation-judgment-decision-action.”

The focus is shifting from precision-driven to data-driven. Electronic warfare systems rely on the measurement and sensing of electronic signals as their fundamental premise. However, with the rise of new technologies, the sensitivity and resolution of these systems are approaching their limits, hindering their development and upgrades. Recognizing that electronic warfare systems can break through traditional models by utilizing big data analytics and mining large datasets can not only efficiently intercept and accurately identify unknown signals, but also predict the timing of frequency changes, mode adjustments, and power conversions. This allows for the correlation analysis of the electronic target’s operational patterns, enabling proactive adjustments to jamming strategies, rules, and parameters to conduct targeted electronic attacks.

The focus has shifted from jamming single targets to disrupting networked targets. Driven by network technology, new-generation radar and communication equipment are beginning to network, using system advantages to compensate for the shortcomings of single points. Traditional electronic warfare jamming relies on human experience and knowledge, lacking sufficient self-learning capabilities. It is mainly used to jam point and chain-like electronic targets, and cannot effectively jam networked targets. Cognitive electronic warfare systems utilize deep learning technology to perceive the network structure and operating modes of new networked systems such as radar and communication. Based on logical reasoning, it can identify nodes, hubs, and key links in the networked system, thereby implementing precise jamming and making it possible to disrupt the system.

New forms of structural reshaping

Cognitive electronic warfare systems, based on the traditional open-loop structure, introduce behavioral learning processes and reshape the modular architecture, enabling them to evaluate the effectiveness of interference and optimize interference strategies based on interference feedback, thus completing a closed loop of “reconnaissance-interference-evaluation” countermeasures.

Reconnaissance and Sensing Module. Reconnaissance and sensing is the primary link in electronic warfare and a crucial prerequisite for the successful implementation of cognitive electronic warfare. This module utilizes deep learning and feature learning techniques to continuously learn from the surrounding environment through constant interaction with the battlefield electromagnetic environment. It performs parameter measurement and sorting of signals, analyzes and extracts characteristic data of target threat signals with the support of prior knowledge, assesses behavioral intent, determines the threat level, and transmits the data to the decision-making and effectiveness evaluation module.

Decision-Making Module. The decision-making module is the core of the cognitive electronic warfare system, primarily responsible for generating interference strategies and optimizing interference waveforms. Based on the analysis and identification results of reconnaissance and perception, the feedback effect of interference assessment, and a dynamic knowledge base, this module uses machine learning algorithms to predict threat characteristics, generates countermeasures through reasoning from past experience, rapidly formulates attack strategies and optimizes interference waveforms, automatically allocates interference resources, and ultimately completes autonomous attacks on target signals.

Effectiveness assessment module. Effectiveness assessment is key to the closed-loop operation of cognitive electronic warfare systems, playing a crucial role in linking all modules. This module analyzes the target’s response to the jamming measures based on feedback information after the signals sensed by reconnaissance are jammed. It calculates and assesses the degree of jamming or damage to the target online, and then feeds the results back to the decision-making module to help adjust jamming strategies and optimize waveforms.

The dynamic knowledge base module primarily provides basic information and data support, including a threat target base, an interference rule base, and a prior knowledge base. This module provides prior information such as models, parameters, and data for reconnaissance and perception, decision-making, and performance evaluation. It utilizes feedback information for cognitive learning, accumulates learning results into experience, and updates the knowledge graph, knowledge rules, and reasoning models in the knowledge base, achieving real-time updates to the knowledge base.

New applications that enhance efficiency

With further breakthroughs in algorithm models and learning reasoning technologies, information-based and intelligent warfare will lead to more mature and sophisticated cognitive electronic warfare systems. Their role in empowering and enhancing efficiency will become more prominent, their application scenarios will become more diverse, and they will become an indispensable weapon on the battlefield.

Precision energy release for strike operations. Under informationized and intelligent conditions, the battlefield situation is presented in real time, command and decision-making are timely and efficient, and combat operations are controlled in real time, enabling precision operations to move from scenario conception to the real battlefield. At the same time, with the connection of cyber information facilities, the combat system has a higher degree of coupling and stronger resilience, becoming an important support for the implementation of joint operations. The cognitive electronic warfare system possesses high-precision perception capabilities and strong directional jamming capabilities. Through its distributed deployment across a wide battlefield, it can work in conjunction with troop assaults and fire strikes, under the unified command of joint operations commanders, to conduct precise attacks on key nodes and important links of the combat system. This includes precise targeting, precise frequency coverage, and precise and consistent modulation patterns, thereby blinding and degrading the effectiveness of enemy early warning detection and command and control systems, and facilitating the implementation of system disruption operations.

Networked Collaborative Swarm Warfare. In future warfare, unmanned swarms such as drones, unmanned vehicles, and unmanned boats will be the main force in combat, making the construction of a low-cost, highly redundant force system crucial for victory. Facing unmanned combat systems like “swarms,” ​​”wolf packs,” and “fish schools,” cognitive electronic warfare systems possess a natural advantage in evolving into unmanned electronic warfare swarms. Based on networked collaborative technologies, reconnaissance and jamming payloads are deployed on unmanned swarm platforms. Information and data exchange between platforms is achieved through information links. With the support of intelligent algorithms, cognitive electronic warfare systems can optimize the combination of jamming functions and dynamically allocate resources based on the battlefield electromagnetic situation. Based on autonomous collaborative guidance and centralized control, they can conduct swarm-to-swarm electronic attacks.

Electronic warfare and cyber warfare are two fundamentally different modes of combat. Electronic warfare focuses on low-level confrontation at the physical and signal layers, while cyber warfare focuses on high-level confrontation at the logical and information layers. However, with information networks covering the electromagnetic spectrum, the convergence of electronic and cyber warfare has become increasingly possible. Breakthroughs in wireless access and encryption technologies have enabled cognitive electronic warfare systems to infiltrate network infrastructure, achieving seamless integration of cyber and electronic space situational awareness and mission decision-making. By combining autonomous learning, pattern evaluation, and algorithmic prediction, a closed-loop system integrating cyber and electronic space perception, evaluation, decision-making, and feedback can be established, enabling integrated cyber and electronic warfare offense and defense.

現代國語:

在戰爭的無形維度中,一場無聲的較量已持續了一個世紀。從馬海戰的電磁迷霧到現代戰場的光譜混亂,從二戰時期簡陋的金屬箔條到融合人工智慧的認知電子戰系統,電子戰經歷了從輔助角色到戰爭支柱的華麗蛻變。如今,它已深深融入現代戰爭的“操作系統”,改寫了戰爭的形式和規則。它無形無質,卻深刻地掌控著戰場行動的生命線;它悄無聲息,卻足以決定成千上萬士兵的生死。未來戰爭的勝負將越來越取決於誰能更清晰地洞察、更快地反應、更牢固地掌控這片無聲卻致命的頻譜。

在現代戰爭中,電子戰領域正快速發展。電磁頻譜被視為繼陸地、海洋、空中、太空和網路空間之後的重要作戰領域,成為交戰雙方在聯合作戰中爭奪全面優勢的關鍵所在。隨著戰爭加速朝向智慧化演進,融合人工智慧和機器學習技術的認知電子戰正日益展現其自主對抗優勢,成為癱瘓電磁空間目標的關鍵工具。

智慧戰爭的新需求

在資訊化和智慧化戰爭中,資訊裝備廣泛分佈,無人智慧裝備也投入使用,使得戰場電磁環境日益複雜。由於認知和自適應技術的應用,雷達和通訊裝備的抗干擾能力不斷增強,傳統的電子對抗手段已難以應對。因此,必須利用人工智慧和機器學習技術,賦予電子戰系統自主識別威脅、即時提取威脅源訊號、快速整理分析、判斷威脅等級和訊號弱點並及時有效對抗的能力。

精準感知的需求。在現代戰爭中,為了提高戰場“透明度”,交戰雙方廣泛使用電子資訊裝備。同時,無人裝備和「集群」系統也被廣泛應用。在充斥著大量資訊設備和海量電磁訊號的戰場上,單一電子戰設備可能同時接收來自數十甚至數百個其他電子設備的輻射,使得訊號識別極為困難。這就要求電子戰系統突破現有技術限制,融合大數據分析與深度學習技術,增強感知能力,並全面辨識戰場上各種電磁輻射目標。

智能對抗的需求。在新興技術的推動下,敏捷雷達、跳頻無線電等設備已廣泛部署於戰場。這些設備在收發之間形成閉環,能夠根據環境自主調整工作模式、發射參數和波形選擇,並具備自主抗干擾能力。傳統的電子戰設備基於現有經驗和預設的干擾規則庫,功能僵化,靈活性差,難以應對新興的自適應電子目標。這就要求電子戰系統融合智慧演算法,變得更加“智慧”,具備“以智制智”的自適應對抗能力。

顛覆網路化系統的需求。現代作戰系統的致勝機制,一旦映射到資訊領域,便會推動雷達和通訊系統的網路化運作。其目標是透過資訊融合和冗餘設計,利用網路系統的韌性,消除因單一設備或連結某部分受到干擾而導致的全局失控。面對網路化資訊系統,電子戰系統需要嵌入智慧對抗分析和推理技術,具備有效識別網路化資訊系統的能力,從而發現關鍵節點和重要部件,並實施有針對性的軟硬體一體化攻擊。

數位智慧驅動的新轉型

認知電子戰可以被視為電子戰與人工智慧的結合。它是新一代電子戰系統,具備自主感知、智慧決策和自適應幹擾能力。智慧電子戰系統代表傳統電子戰的重大升級。

認知方式的轉變:從人腦認知轉向機器認知。現代電子技術的進步使得電子資訊設備能夠提供多樣化的功能和多種模式。傳統的電子戰系統依賴人工分析的威脅資料庫進行對抗,而這種方法僅對已知的訊號模式有效,而對未知威脅的對抗效果則顯著降低。認知電子戰系統透過自主互動群體學習和智慧演算法,能夠快速截獲和識別訊號模式,分析變化的模式,根據電磁環境的變化做出自主決策,優化干擾訊號波形,並自主完成「觀察-判斷-決策-行動」的作戰循環。

電子戰的重點正從精度驅動轉向數據驅動。電子戰系統以測量和感知電子訊號為基本前提。然而,隨著新技術的出現,這些系統的靈敏度和解析度正接近極限,阻礙了其發展和升級。認識到電子戰系統可以透過利用大數據分析和挖掘大型資料集來突破傳統模式,不僅可以高效截獲和準確識別未知訊號,還可以預測頻率變化、模式調整和功率轉換的時機。這使得對電子目標的運作模式進行關聯分析成為可能,從而能夠主動調整幹擾策略、規則和參數,並實施有針對性的電子攻擊。

幹擾的重點已從單一目標轉向幹擾網路化目標。在網路技術的驅動下,新一代雷達和通訊設備開始連網,利用系統優勢彌補單點目標的不足。傳統的電子戰幹擾依賴人的經驗和知識,缺乏足夠的自學習能力,主要用於幹擾點狀和鏈狀電子目標,無法有效幹擾網路化目標。認知電子戰系統利用深度學習技術感知雷達、通訊等新型網路化系統的網路結構與運作模式。基於邏輯推理,該系統能夠識別網路系統中的節點、樞紐和關鍵鏈路,從而實現精準幹擾,並有可能破壞系統。

新型結構重塑

認知電子戰系統在傳統開環結構的基礎上,引入行為學習過程並重塑模組化架構,使其能夠評估幹擾效果,並基於乾擾反饋優化干擾策略,從而形成「偵察-幹擾-評估」對抗的閉環。

偵察感知模組。偵察感知是電子戰的核心環節,也是成功實施認知電子戰的關鍵前提。本模組利用深度學習和特徵學習技術,透過與戰場電磁環境的持續交互,不斷學習周圍環境。它對訊號進行參數測量和分類,在先驗知識的支持下分析和提取目標威脅訊號的特徵數據,評估行為意圖,確定威脅等級,並將數據傳輸至決策和效果評估模組。

決策模組。決策模組是認知電子戰系統的核心,主要負責產生幹擾策略和最佳化干擾波形。此模組基於偵察感知的分析識別結果、幹擾評估的回饋效果以及動態知識庫,利用機器學習演算法預測威脅特徵,透過對過往經驗的推理生成對抗措施,快速制定攻擊策略並優化干擾波形,自動分配幹擾資源,最終完成對目標訊號的自主攻擊。

效果評估模組。效果評估是認知電子戰系統閉環運作的關鍵,在連接所有模組中發揮至關重要的作用。此模組在偵察感知到訊號被幹擾後,基於回饋資訊分析目標對幹擾措施的反應,在線上計算和評估目標受到的干擾或損害程度,並將結果回饋給決策模組,以幫助調整幹擾策略和優化波形。

動態知識庫模組主要提供…此模組提供基礎資訊和資料支持,包括威脅目標庫、幹擾規則庫和先驗知識庫。它提供先驗信息,例如用於偵察感知、決策和性能評估的模型、參數和數據。它利用回饋資訊進行認知學習,將學習結果累積為經驗,並更新知識庫中的知識圖譜、知識規則和推理模型,從而實現知識庫的即時更新。

提升效率的新應用

隨著演算法模型和學習推理技術的進一步突破,資訊化和智慧化戰爭將催生更成熟和精密的認知電子戰系統。它們在增強作戰效率方面的作用將更加突出,應用場景將更加多樣化,並將成為戰場上不可或缺的武器。

精確能量釋放用於打擊行動。在資訊化和智慧化條件下,戰場態勢即時呈現,指揮決策及時高效,作戰行動即時控制,使精確打擊行動能夠從場景構思到實際戰場。同時,隨著網路資訊設施的互聯互通,作戰系統具有更高的耦合度和更強的韌性,成為聯合作戰的重要支撐。認知電子戰系統具備高精度感知能力及強大的定向幹擾能力。透過其在廣大戰場上的分散部署,該系統可在聯合作戰指揮官的統一指揮下,與部隊突擊和火力打擊協同作戰,對作戰系統的關鍵節點和重要環節進行精確打擊。這種打擊包括精確目標定位、精確頻率覆蓋以及精確一致的調製模式,從而乾擾和削弱敵方預警和指揮控制系統的效能,並為系統破壞作戰的實施提供便利。

網路協同集群作戰。在未來的戰爭中,無人機、無人車輛、無人艇等無人集群將成為作戰的主力,因此建造低成本、高冗餘度的作戰系統對於取得勝利至關重要。面對「集群」、「狼群」和「魚群」等無人作戰系統,認知電子戰系統在演進為無人電子戰集群方面具有天然優勢。基於網路協同技術,偵察和乾擾載荷部署在無人集群平台上。平台間的資訊和資料交換透過​​資訊鏈路實現。在智慧演算法的支援下,認知電子戰系統能夠根據戰場電磁態勢優化干擾功能組合併動態分配資源。基於自主協同導引和集中控制,它們可以進行群集間的電子攻擊。

電子戰和網路戰是兩種截然不同的作戰模式。電子戰著重於實體層和訊號層的低層對抗,而網路戰則著重於邏輯層和資訊層的高層對抗。然而,隨著資訊網路覆蓋電磁頻譜,電子戰和網路戰的融合變得越來越可能。無線存取和加密技術的突破使得認知電子戰系統能夠滲透網路基礎設施,實現網路空間和電子空間態勢感知及任務決策的無縫融合。透過結合自主學習、模式評估和演算法預測,可以建立一個整合網路空間和電子空間感知、評估、決策和回饋的閉環系統,從而實現網路戰和電子戰的一體化攻防。

Military Research, Warfare Research, Combat Research | Practical Exploration of Strengthening New Combat Capabilities for China’s Military

軍事研究、戰爭研究、作戰研究 | 實際探索提升中國軍隊新型作戰能力

現代英語:

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee clearly proposed “accelerating the development of advanced combat capabilities.” New-type combat capabilities are representative of advanced combat capabilities, and strengthening the practical exploration of new-type combat capability development is an inevitable requirement for accelerating the development of advanced combat capabilities. As a key force for winning future battlefields, new-type combat capabilities are crucial to the course of war, the transformation of development, and the outcome of battles. Therefore, it is imperative to keep pace with changes in technology, warfare, and adversaries, fully unleash and develop new-type combat capabilities, and continuously enhance their contribution to war preparedness and combat.

Grasp the requirements of the times for strengthening the construction of new-type combat capabilities

The development of combat capabilities bears the profound imprint of the times. Strengthening the development of new-type combat capabilities must adapt to the era’s requirements as the form of warfare rapidly evolves towards intelligence, unmanned operation, and beyond-domain capabilities.

The “New” Elements of Power: Unmanned Intelligence. Recent local wars and military operations worldwide demonstrate a continuous increase in the informatization of warfare. Weapons and equipment are showing a clear trend towards long-range precision, intelligence, stealth, and unmanned operation, fundamentally changing the way humans interact with weaponry. The concepts, elements, and methods of winning wars are undergoing significant transformations. Currently, artificial intelligence and unmanned autonomous technologies are rapidly entering the battlefield. Intelligent military systems have significantly improved the unmanned autonomous combat capabilities of military equipment and platforms. The main participants in warfare are shifting from traditional humans to humanoid intelligent unmanned systems. Combat behavior and decision-making are accelerating their shift from “carbon-based” to “silicon-based,” from “cellular” to “intelligent agents,” and evolving from a “human in the loop” to a “human on the loop” and even “human outside the loop” model.

The “New” Nature of Battlefield Space: Multidimensional Integration. Disruptive technologies, exemplified by artificial intelligence, are rapidly expanding the scope and depth of influence of combat forces. The rapid application of technologies such as bio-interdisciplinary research, neuromorphic science, and human-machine interfaces is driving the deep penetration and integration of intelligent network systems with human social activities. New methods and situations, such as “deepfakes” and “information cocoons,” are emerging in large numbers, and hybrid games involving cognitive competition in the social domain are evolving into new arenas of struggle. The space of military struggle is expanding from traditional geographical space to the deep sea, outer space, electromagnetic, cyber, and cognitive domains, advancing the entire battlefield space to a highly three-dimensional, multi-dimensional, and highly integrated state. These battlefield space domains are interconnected, mutually supportive, and mutually restrictive, jointly propelling combat towards complex intelligence.

The “New” Aspect of Combat Formation: Dynamic Reconfiguration. Combat formation reflects the combination of personnel and weaponry, the relationships between combat units, and between different units, determining the role and effectiveness of new-type combat capabilities. Looking towards the real-time optimization of joint forces and firepower in future operations, new-type combat capabilities will rely on intelligent network information systems, shifting from static configuration to dynamic reconfiguration, from “building blocks” to “solving a Rubik’s Cube.” Each combat element will be functionally decoupled as needed, and then cross-domain integration will connect heterogeneous functional elements and unit modules to construct a resilient distributed “kill network,” enabling wide-area configuration, cross-domain networking, and multi-domain aggregation of combat units and basic modules. This dynamic formation requires the support of network information systems and the coordinated cooperation of new-type combat capabilities, connecting heterogeneous functional elements and unit modules throughout the entire combat system through cross-domain integration.

Focus on key aspects of strengthening new combat capabilities

The key difference between new-type combat capabilities and traditional combat capabilities lies in the new quality of combat capabilities. The construction of new-type combat capabilities should take the new quality as an important starting point, empower combat capability elements and transform combat capability generation models through technological innovation, thereby promoting the leap in combat capabilities.

Intelligent algorithms are key to victory. New combat capabilities, exemplified by intelligent weaponry, place greater emphasis on gaining strategic control in combat. The competition between opposing sides hinges on the level of intelligent cognition and the superiority of their algorithms. Intelligent algorithms can be seamlessly integrated into the decision-making and command chains at every stage of the kill chain—observation, location, tracking, judgment, decision-making, strike, and assessment—achieving “victory before battle.” Data mining algorithms, such as deep learning and self-learning, can rapidly integrate various types of battlefield data, deeply correlate and analyze valuable intelligence, and help combat personnel predict the battlefield situation more quickly and effectively. Intelligent game theory and decision-making algorithms, such as reinforcement learning, can autonomously engage in combat in virtual environments, rapidly and fully explore the war decision-making space, help commanders identify and anchor decision points, and more efficiently create and generate action plans, thus assisting in combat planning. For the command and control of numerous unmanned equipment and platforms, autonomous control algorithms, such as autonomous planning and collaborative algorithms, can dynamically combine combat resources according to mission objectives and capability requirements, forming human-machine hybrid formations to efficiently execute combat missions.

The system is highly interconnected. Combat power generation is a complete system formed by the development and internal movement of the various elements constituting combat power, as well as the interconnections and interactions between different elements and subsystems. The characteristics of system confrontation, hybrid game, and cross-domain competition are more prominent in informationized and intelligent combat operations. The dispersed battlefield sensors, combat forces, and weapon platforms become network information nodes based on various information links. Intelligence information, mission instructions, battle situation, and battle results information can all be interactively shared in the battlefield network that is connected across the entire domain. The entire combat operation, while pursuing individual platform indicators, places greater emphasis on the real-time linkage effect of the entire combat system. Through functional coupling and structural emergence, it achieves the goals of “energy aggregation” and “energy enhancement” to achieve the goal of defeating the enemy with overall strength.

Human-machine interaction is gradually advancing. Unmanned equipment, as a crucial element of new combat capabilities and an important supplement to traditional weaponry, is transforming from a battlefield support role to a primary combat role. Broadly speaking, unmanned equipment will expand the combat capabilities of weaponry and gain information and firepower mobility advantages. First, unmanned combat equipment can enrich and improve manned combat systems. Utilizing the advantages of unmanned equipment—less restricted battlefield environment, stronger penetration capabilities, and more diverse missions—it can enhance the scope, accuracy, and timeliness of reconnaissance and intelligence gathering and assessment, as well as increase the density, intensity, and sustainability of firepower strikes. Second, coordinated operations between manned and unmanned forces can achieve a “1+1>2” combat effectiveness. For example, drones can conduct forward reconnaissance and early warning, becoming an extension of manned aircraft perception, leveraging the mobility and firepower advantages of manned aircraft while utilizing the information advantages of drones. Third, unmanned swarm operations can achieve the goal of rapidly depleting enemy resources. Unmanned swarm forces, including drones, unmanned vehicles, unmanned boats, unmanned underwater vehicles, bionic robots, and smart munitions, will conduct autonomous and coordinated unmanned operations. Their nonlinear and emergent characteristics will highlight their advantages in scale, cost, autonomy, and decision-making. They will strike targets such as heavily fortified air defense missile sites deep within enemy territory, greatly depleting the enemy’s reconnaissance, interception, and firepower resources.

Building a scientific framework for enhancing new combat capabilities

Building new combat capabilities is a systemic and arduous battle that requires overcoming difficulties. We must break away from the path dependence of “technology-oriented” approaches and construct a scientific chain of “theoretical interpretation, system construction, training transformation, and resource adaptation.”

Emphasizing “theory first, system support,” these two aspects are crucial foundations for generating new-type combat capabilities. A hierarchical theoretical framework and resilient system architecture are essential to solidify the foundation for new-type combat capabilities to serve actual combat. From the perspective of hierarchical theoretical framework construction, basic theory must focus on the essential mechanisms of new-type combat elements, analyzing the operational characteristics, boundaries of action, and coupling logic of emerging domain elements with traditional elements, and exploring scientific paths for aligning basic theory with practice. Applied theory must closely adhere to actual combat scenarios, constructing application rules based on the typological classification of future combat missions, and expanding the paths for transforming applied theory into tactical practice. The innovative theoretical layer must anticipate the evolution of warfare, combining technological advancements to predict theoretical development directions, providing guidance for the evolution of new-type elements. From the perspective of resilient system architecture design, “system resilience” should be the goal to break down inter-domain barriers, establishing a potential database through the Internet of Things and big data technologies to achieve rapid reorganization and response of new-type resources and troop needs, ensuring that the system resonates with the demands of “war.”

Adhering to the principle of “you fight your way, I fight my way,” we must boldly innovate and explore new models for the construction and application of combat forces. The essence of this approach lies in building “asymmetric advantages.” From the perspective of cultivating asymmetric advantages, we must rely on “operational domain advantage maps” for assessment and construct differentiated force layouts. We must promote the transformation of advantageous elements into core capabilities, build a “strengths against weaknesses” pattern, and ensure the long-term sustainability of these advantages through the establishment of a dynamic monitoring mechanism. From the perspective of innovatively reconstructing operational paths, we must break through the boundaries of traditional operational domains, open up new dimensions of confrontation in unmanned domains, and design modular solutions based on mission requirements, flexibly combining new qualitative elements with traditional forces to avoid path dependence.

Strengthening “realistic training and adversarial drills” is crucial. Realistic training and adversarial drills serve as the intermediaries for transforming new combat capabilities from theory to actual combat. To establish a closed-loop mechanism of “integrated training and combat,” it is necessary to enhance the combat adaptability of new combat capabilities through high-fidelity construction of training scenarios, high-intensity design of adversarial drills, and quantitative modeling of effectiveness evaluation. Regarding the high-fidelity construction of realistic training scenarios, it is essential to actively organize drone units to conduct training in reconnaissance and rescue, airlift, and other subjects. The concept of “environmental complexity gradient” should be introduced to force officers and soldiers to utilize new equipment under extreme conditions. A quantitative evaluation system should be established to assess training effectiveness. Regarding the high-intensity design of adversarial drills, it is necessary to set up adversarial scenarios closely resembling those of a strong enemy, set adversarial intensity thresholds, and establish a closed-loop improvement mechanism to promote iterative upgrades of combat capabilities.

The principle is “not seeking ownership, but utilizing.” This is a crucial path for generating new combat capabilities. Its core lies in the innovative generation model of the “resource pooling” theory. This requires breaking the binding relationship between “resource possession” and “capability generation” through cross-domain resource integration and dynamic resource allocation. From the perspective of cross-domain resource integration, “resource pooling” is the core, integrating local technology, talent, and equipment resources to build a military-civilian integrated resource support network. From the perspective of dynamic resource allocation, a classified and graded management system is constructed, categorizing new resources according to their operational value into core, support, and auxiliary categories, clarifying the deployment process for new equipment, and ensuring that resource benefits are transformed into actual combat capabilities.

加強新質戰斗力建設實踐探索

■王璐穎  李  滔

引 言

黨的二十屆四中全會鮮明提出“加快先進戰斗力建設”。新質戰斗力是先進戰斗力的代表,加強新質戰斗力建設實踐探索是加快先進戰斗力建設的必然要求。新質戰斗力作為制勝未來戰場的關鍵力量,關乎戰爭走向、關乎建設轉型、關乎作戰勝負,必須緊跟科技之變、戰爭之變、對手之變,充分解放和發展新質戰斗力,不斷提升新質戰斗力對備戰打仗的貢獻率。

把握加強新質戰斗力建設時代要求

戰斗力建設有著深刻的時代烙印,加強新質戰斗力建設要順應戰爭形態加速向智能化、無人化、超域化演進的時代要求。

力量要素之“新”:無人智能。從世界近幾場局部戰爭和軍事行動看,戰爭信息化程度不斷提高,武器裝備遠程精確化、智能化、隱身化、無人化趨勢明顯,正在改變人與武器裝備的結合方式,戰爭制勝觀念、制勝要素、制勝方式發生重大變化。當前,人工智能技術和無人自主技術快速走向戰場,智能化軍事系統顯著提高了軍事裝備和平台的無人自主作戰能力,戰爭主要參與者從傳統的人向類人智能無人系統的跨越,作戰行為與決策加速從“碳基”向“硅基”轉移,從“細胞體”向“智能體”讓渡,從“人在環中”向“人在環上”乃至“人在環外”的模式演進。

戰場空間之“新”:多維融合。以人工智能為代表的顛覆性技術,正加速擴展作戰力量的作用領域、影響深度。生物交叉、類腦科學和人機接口等技術的快速應用,促使智能化網絡體系與人類社會活動深度滲透、高度融合。“深度偽造”“信息繭房”等新手段、新情況大量產生,社會域的認知爭奪等混合博弈,正演變為新的角力場。軍事斗爭空間從傳統地理空間,不斷向深海、外太空、電磁、網絡、認知等領域拓展,整個戰場空間進階到高立體、全維度、大融合。這些戰場空間領域之間既相互聯系、相互支撐,又相互制約,共同推動作戰向復雜智能的方向發展。

作戰編組之“新”:動態重構。作戰編組是人與武器裝備結合、作戰單元之間、部隊與部隊之間關系的體現,決定著新質戰斗力的作用發揮和效能釋放。著眼未來聯合作戰兵力火力的即時聚優,新質戰斗力將依托智能化網絡信息體系的支撐,由靜態搭配向動態重構轉變,由“拼積木”向“擰魔方”轉變,各作戰要素根據需要進行功能解耦,再通過跨域融合將異構的功能要素和單元模塊聯結在一起,構建具有良好韌性的分布式“殺傷網”,以實現作戰單元和基本模塊的廣域配置、跨域組網和多域聚合。這種動態編組更需要網絡信息體系的支撐和新質戰斗力的協同配合,通過跨域融合將整個作戰體系中異構的功能要素和單元模塊聯結在一起。

扭住加強新質戰斗力建設重要抓手

新質戰斗力區別於傳統戰斗力的關鍵在於戰斗力呈現的新質態,新質戰斗力建設要以新質態為重要抓手,通過科技創新賦能戰斗力要素、變革戰斗力生成模式,從而推動戰斗力躍遷。

智能算法制勝。以智能化武器裝備為代表的新質戰斗力更加重視追求作戰制智權,敵我雙方比拼的是智能認知水平的高下、算法的優劣。在觀察、定位、跟蹤、判斷、決策、打擊和評估等殺傷鏈的各個環節,智能算法都可以及時融入決策鏈、指揮鏈,實現“未戰而先勝”。以深度學習、自學習為代表的數據挖掘算法,能夠對戰場收集的各類數據快速整合,深度關聯分析有價值的情報信息,幫助作戰人員更快更好預測戰場態勢。以強化學習為代表的智能博弈和決策算法,能夠在虛擬環境中自主博弈對抗,快速充分探索戰爭決策空間,幫助指揮員發現和錨定決策點,更加高效地創造生成行動方案,輔助作戰籌劃。針對大量無人裝備和平台的指揮控制,自主規劃與協同算法等自主控制算法,能夠根據任務目標和能力需求對作戰資源進行動態組合,形成人機混合編組,高效執行作戰任務。

體系高度關聯。戰斗力生成,是由構成戰斗力的各要素自身發展、內在運動,以及不同要素和分系統之間相互聯系、相互作用而形成的完整體系。信息化智能化作戰行動的體系對抗、混合博弈、超域競爭等特征更加突出,分散配置的戰場傳感器、作戰力量和武器平台基於各種信息鏈路成為網絡信息節點,情報信息、任務指令、戰況態勢和戰果信息均可在全域聯通的戰場網絡中交互共享,整個作戰行動在追求單個平台單項指標的基礎上,更強調整個作戰體系的實時聯動效應,通過功能耦合和結構湧現,達到“聚能”和“增能”的目的,以整體力量達到克敵制勝的目的。

人機互動漸進。無人裝備作為新質戰斗力的重要抓手和傳統武器裝備的重要補充,正從過去戰場配屬角色向主戰角色轉變。從廣義角度看,無人裝備將以拓展武器裝備作戰能力獲得信息、火力機動優勢。首先,無人作戰裝備可充實完善有人作戰體系。利用無人裝備戰場環境限制小、突防能力強、執行任務多的優勢,提升己方偵察情報和評估工作范圍、精度和時效性,提升火力打擊密度、強度和持續性。其次,有人與無人力量協同作戰能夠發揮“1+1>2”的作戰效能。例如,無人機可前出偵察預警,成為有人機感知的延伸,發揮有人機機動和火力優勢,發揮無人機信息優勢。再次,無人集群作戰能夠實現快速消耗敵方資源目的。無人機、無人車、無人艇、無人潛航器、仿生機器人、智能彈藥等無人集群力量實施無人自主協同作戰,將發揮其非線性、湧現性等特征所凸顯的規模優勢、成本優勢、自主優勢、決策優勢,打擊敵方縱深地域嚴密設防的防空導彈陣地等目標,極大消耗敵方偵察攔截和火力抗擊資源。

構建加強新質戰斗力建設科學鏈路

新質戰斗力建設是一場向難攻堅的系統性硬仗,要破除“技術導向”的路徑依賴,構建“理論闡釋—體系建構—訓練轉化—資源適配”的科學鏈路。

突出“理論先行,體系支撐”。理論先行與體系支撐是新質戰斗力生成的兩個重要基礎。要以理論體系層級化建構與體系架構韌性化設計,夯實新質戰斗力服務實戰基礎。從理論體系層級化建構看,基礎理論必須聚焦新質作戰要素的本質機理,剖析新興領域要素的作戰特性、作用邊界及與傳統要素的耦合邏輯,探索基礎理論對接實踐的科學路徑。應用理論必須緊扣實戰場景,基於未來作戰任務的類型化劃分構建運用規則,拓展應用理論轉化為戰術實踐的路徑。創新理論層須前瞻戰爭形態演進,結合技術預見理論發展方向,為新質要素演化提供指引。從體系架構的韌性化設計看,要以“體系韌性”為目標打破域際壁壘,通過物聯網、大數據技術建立潛力數據庫,實現新質資源與部隊需求的快速重組響應,確保體系與“戰”的需求同頻共振。

堅持“你打你的,我打我的”。大膽創新探索新型作戰力量建設和運用模式,“你打你的,我打我的”,本質在於建構“非對稱優勢”。從非對稱優勢的培育看,要依托“作戰域優勢圖譜”開展評估,構築差異化力量布局。要推動優勢要素向核心能力轉化,構建“以長擊短”格局,通過建立動態監測機制,確保優勢長存。從作戰路徑創新性重構看,須突破傳統作戰域邊界,在無人域開辟對抗新維度,還要基於任務需求設計模塊化方案,靈活組合新質要素與傳統力量,避免路徑依賴。

加強“實案化訓練,對抗性演練”。實案化訓練和對抗性演練是新質戰斗力從理論向實戰的轉化中介。要構成“戰訓一體化”的閉環機制,須通過訓練場景的高保真建構、對抗演練的高強度設計與效能評估的量化模型化,提升新質戰斗力的實戰適配性。從實案化訓練的高保真建構看,要積極組織無人機分隊開展偵察救援、空中投送等課目訓練,要引入“環境復雜度梯度”理念,倒逼官兵在極限條件下運用新質裝備。要建立量化評估體系,評估訓練成效;從對抗性演練的高強度設計看,要設置貼近強敵的對抗場景,設定對抗強度閾值,建立閉環改進機制,推動戰斗力迭代升級。

做到“不求所有,但為所用”。“不求所有,但為所用”是新質戰斗力生成的重要路徑,其內核在於“資源池化”理論的生成模式創新,須通過資源整合的跨域化建構與資源運用的動態化調度,打破“資源佔有”與“能力生成”的綁定關系。從資源整合的跨域化建構看,以“資源池化”為核心,整合地方技術、人才、裝備資源,構建軍地一體的資源支撐網絡。從資源運用的動態化調度看,構建分類分級管理體系,將新質資源按作戰價值分為核心、支撐、輔助類,明確新質裝備的調用流程,確保資源效益轉化為實戰能力。

The Intrinsic Evolution of the Winning Mechanisms in Chinese Military Joint Operations

中國軍事聯合作戰中獲勝機制的內在演變

現代英語:

Joint operations, as a fundamental form of modern warfare, have evolved in their winning mechanisms along with advancements in military technology and changes in the nature of warfare. From the coordinated formations of the cold weapon era to the combined arms operations of infantry and artillery in the era of firearms, from joint operations of various services and branches in the era of mechanized warfare to multi-domain joint operations in the era of informationized warfare, each military revolution has brought about fundamental changes in the winning mechanisms of warfare.

Currently, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things are driving the evolution of warfare towards informatization and intelligence at an unprecedented pace. The connotation and extension of joint operations are constantly expanding, and the mechanisms of victory are also showing a series of new development trends. In-depth research into the development trends of the mechanisms of victory in joint operations, based on a multi-perspective analysis framework, systematically exploring the historical evolution and future development direction of these mechanisms from five dimensions—operation time, operation space, operation force, operation actions, and operation command and control—is of vital importance for accurately grasping the changes in future warfare, scientifically establishing the direction of military force development, and effectively enhancing joint operations capabilities.

From a combat time perspective: the strategy has evolved from step-by-step progression to instantaneous enemy destruction.

Time is one of the fundamental elements of war, and the art of utilizing operational time is key to victory in joint operations. In the era of mechanized warfare, limited by intelligence gathering methods, command and control capabilities, and weapon performance, joint operational operations are typically organized and implemented under strict time constraints, unfolding sequentially in stages: reconnaissance and early warning, fire preparation, forward breakthrough, deep attack, and fortification. Each branch of the armed forces carries out its operational mission according to a predetermined plan at each stage. This operational model results in a relatively slow pace of combat and inefficient use of time, often requiring several days or even months to complete a single operational phase. With the development of information technology and precision-guided weapons, the time-dimensional winning mechanism of modern joint operations is shifting towards “instantaneous enemy destruction.” The pace of combat operations has accelerated significantly, and the division of combat phases has become increasingly blurred. The traditional step-by-step approach is gradually being replaced by “instantaneous” warfare characterized by real-time perception, real-time decision-making, and real-time action. Real-time information sharing and rapid flow have drastically shortened the combat command and decision-making cycle, achieving the “detect and destroy” combat effect. The widespread application of precision-guided weapons has greatly improved the speed and accuracy of firepower strikes, enabling combat forces to carry out devastating strikes against key targets in an instant. In the future, with the development and application of artificial intelligence technology, the speed of combat decision-making and action will be further improved, and the instantaneous nature of joint operations will become more prominent.

From the perspective of operational space: expanding from the tangible battlefield to the intangible space

The operational space is the arena for joint combat forces, and its constantly evolving form and scope directly influence the mechanisms of victory in joint operations. In industrial-era warfare, the operational space was primarily confined to tangible physical spaces such as land, sea, and air. Operations mainly revolved around seizing and controlling key geographical points, transportation lines, and strategic locations, and the deployment of combat forces and the evaluation of operational effectiveness were also primarily based on the tangible spatial scope. Entering the information age, the operational space is undergoing revolutionary changes. In addition to the traditional tangible physical spaces of land, sea, air, and space, intangible spaces such as information space, cyberspace, and psychological space are increasingly becoming important battlefields for joint operations, even determining the outcome of combat to some extent. The struggle for information space has become a primary aspect of joint operations, the battle in cyberspace is intensifying, and the psychological warfare is constantly evolving. The battlefield of modern joint operations is characterized by a fusion of tangible and intangible spaces, and an equal emphasis on the physical and information domains. In the future, with the development of emerging technologies such as quantum technology, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence, the space for joint operations will further expand, potentially giving rise to new operational domains such as quantum space and biological space. The mechanisms for winning in joint operations will also undergo profound changes.

From the perspective of combat power: a shift from human-machine integration to human-machine collaboration.

Combat forces are the material foundation of joint operations, and their composition and deployment directly affect the outcome of such operations. In the era of mechanized warfare, the composition of joint combat forces was primarily a human-equipment integration model, with personnel as the main body and weapons and equipment as the tools. The effectiveness of combat forces depended mainly on the number and quality of personnel, the performance and quantity of weapons and equipment, and the degree of integration between personnel and equipment. Armies around the world emphasize improving the level of personnel-equipment integration through rigorous training to fully leverage the combat effectiveness of weapons and equipment. With the development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and big data, the composition and deployment of modern joint combat forces are undergoing profound changes, and human-machine collaboration is becoming a new logic for winning joint combat operations. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned ships, unmanned combat vehicles, and unmanned underwater vehicles have become an important component of joint combat forces. They are capable of performing reconnaissance, surveillance, strike, and interference missions in high-risk environments, significantly improving the survivability and combat effectiveness of combat forces. The application of artificial intelligence technology has also endowed weaponry with a certain degree of autonomous action, enabling them to autonomously collaborate with humans to complete complex tasks. Machine intelligence has not only changed the composition of combat forces but also their operational methods. In the future, with the continuous advancement of human-machine integration technology, the boundaries between humans and machines will become increasingly blurred, and human-machine collaboration will reach an even higher level.

From a combat operations perspective: The shift from segmented cooperation to cross-domain integration.

Joint operations are the concrete practice of joint warfare, and their organizational form and implementation methods directly affect the overall effectiveness of joint operations. In traditional joint operations, limited by command and control capabilities and coordination mechanisms between various services and branches, forces from each service and branch can only carry out missions within their respective operational domains and conduct limited cooperation through pre-established coordination plans. This domain-specific cooperation model is prone to problems such as coordination failures and operational disconnects. In the information age, with the improvement of all-domain awareness capabilities and the refinement of command and control methods, joint operations are gradually developing towards cross-domain integration. Cross-domain integration emphasizes breaking down the boundaries between different operational domains, achieving seamless connection and deep integration of operational forces across multiple domains such as land, sea, air, space, electromagnetic, and cyberspace, forming a coordinated overall operational effect. Operational forces in each domain can share battlefield information in real time, dynamically adjust operational actions, rapidly transcend geographical and domain boundaries, and conduct operations simultaneously in multiple domains. Through the integration and sharing of multi-domain information, a high degree of coordination and precise cooperation in operational actions across domains is achieved, forming a synergistic and effective overall operational effect. In the future, with the continuous development of information technology, the degree of cross-domain integration in joint operations will further deepen, becoming a key to victory in joint operations.

From the perspective of combat command and control: Evolution from central radiation to flexible periphery

Operational command and control is the “brain” and “nerve center” of joint operations; its mode selection and effectiveness directly determine the success or failure of joint operations. In the era of mechanized warfare, due to limited command and control technology, joint operational command and control typically adopted a centralized, hierarchical, tree-like organizational model. This model, centered on the highest command organization, implements operational command and control by transmitting orders downwards and feeding back information upwards, possessing significant advantages in centralized and unified action. However, it also suffers from drawbacks such as multiple command levels, slow information transmission, and poor responsiveness. With the development of information network technology and artificial intelligence technology, modern joint operational command and control is evolving towards greater flexibility. A modular and reconfigurable command structure enables the entire combat system to flexibly adjust command relationships and processes according to changes in combat missions and battlefield environments. While maintaining a centralized and unified strategic intent, it grants greater autonomy to tactical nodes at the system’s periphery, thereby enhancing the system’s flexibility and responsiveness, and better adapting to the rapidly changing challenges of future battlefields. In the future, with the development of technologies such as brain-computer interfaces and quantum communication, the real-time nature, accuracy, and flexibility of joint operations command and control will reach new heights.

In conclusion, with the development of emerging technologies such as information technology and artificial intelligence and their widespread application in the military field, the form of joint operations is undergoing continuous evolution, and the mechanisms for winning joint operations are also undergoing profound changes. This not only reshapes traditional operational concepts and methods but also poses new and higher requirements for the development of future joint operational capabilities. Therefore, we must maintain strategic clarity and innovative vitality, closely monitor global military development trends, conduct in-depth research on the mechanisms for winning joint operations, and continuously promote innovation in joint operational theory and practice to lay a solid foundation for winning informationized and intelligent warfare.

把握聯合作戰制勝機理內在演進

■李玉焱 楊飛龍 李忠智

寫在前面

聯合作戰作為現代戰爭的基本作戰形式,其制勝機理隨著軍事技術的進步和戰爭形態的演變而不斷發展。從冷兵器時代的方陣協同到熱兵器時代的步炮配合,從機械化戰爭時代的諸軍兵種合同作戰到信息化戰爭時代的多域聯合作戰,每一次軍事革命都帶來了作戰制勝機理的根本性變革。

當前,以人工智能、大數據、雲計算、物聯網等為代表的新興技術正以前所未有的速度推動戰爭形態向信息化智能化方向加速演進,聯合作戰的內涵和外延不斷拓展,制勝機理也呈現出一系列新的發展趨勢。深入研究聯合作戰制勝機理的發展趨勢,基於多視角分析框架,從作戰時間、作戰空間、作戰力量、作戰行動和作戰指控五個維度,系統探討聯合作戰制勝機理的歷史演進軌跡和未來發展方向,對於我們准確把握未來戰爭形態變化、科學確立軍事力量建設方向、有效提升聯合作戰能力,具有至關重要的意義。

從作戰時間視角看:由按階推進向瞬時破敵發展

時間是戰爭的基本要素之一,作戰時間的運用藝術是聯合作戰制勝的關鍵所在。在機械化戰爭時代,受限於情報獲取手段、指揮控制能力和武器裝備性能,聯合作戰行動組織實施通常遵循嚴格的時間限制,按照偵察預警、火力准備、前沿突破、縱深攻擊、鞏固防御的階段劃分依次展開,各軍兵種力量在各階段根據預定計劃遂行作戰任務。這種作戰模式下,作戰節奏相對緩慢,時間利用效率不高,往往需要數天甚至數月才能完成一個戰役階段。隨著信息技術和精確制導武器的發展,現代聯合作戰的時間維度制勝機理正在向“瞬時破敵”方向轉變。作戰行動節奏大大加快,作戰階段劃分日益模糊,傳統的按階推進模式逐漸被實時感知、實時決策、實時行動的“秒殺”式作戰所取代。信息的實時共享和快速流動使得作戰指揮決策周期大幅縮短,實現了“發現即摧毀”的作戰效果。精確制導武器的廣泛應用大大提高了火力打擊的速度和精度,使得作戰力量能夠在瞬間對關鍵目標實施毀滅性打擊。未來,隨著人工智能技術的發展和應用,作戰決策和行動的速度將進一步提升,聯合作戰的瞬時性特征將更加凸顯。

從作戰空間視角看:由有形戰場向無形空間拓展

作戰空間是聯合作戰力量活動的舞台,其形態和范圍的不斷變化直接影響著聯合作戰的制勝機理。在工業時代的戰爭中,聯合作戰的空間主要局限於陸地、海洋和空中等有形物理空間。作戰行動主要圍繞著奪取和控制地理要點、交通線和戰略要地展開,作戰力量的運用和作戰效果的評估也主要基於有形空間范圍。進入信息化時代,聯合作戰空間正在發生革命性變化,除了傳統的陸、海、空、天等有形物理空間外,信息空間、網電空間、心理空間等無形空間日益成為聯合作戰的重要戰場,甚至在某種程度上決定著作戰的勝負。信息空間的爭奪已成為聯合作戰的首要環節,網電空間的斗爭也日趨激烈,心理空間的較量更是層出不窮,現代聯合作戰的戰場空間已經呈現出“有形空間與無形空間交融、物理域與信息域並重”的鮮明特征。未來,隨著量子技術、生物技術、人工智能等新興技術的發展,聯合作戰空間還將進一步拓展,可能會出現量子空間、生物空間等新的作戰領域,聯合作戰的制勝機理也將隨之發生更深層次的變革。

從作戰力量視角看:由人裝結合向人機協作轉變

作戰力量是聯合作戰的物質基礎,其構成和運用方式直接關系到聯合作戰的勝負。在機械化戰爭時代,聯合作戰力量的構成主要是以人員為主體、以武器裝備為工具的人裝結合模式,作戰力量的效能主要取決於人員的數量、素質和武器裝備的性能、數量,以及人與裝備的結合程度。各國軍隊都強調通過嚴格的訓練提高人與裝備的結合水平,以充分發揮武器裝備的作戰效能。隨著人工智能、機器人技術、大數據等新興技術的發展,現代聯合作戰力量的構成和運用方式正在發生深刻變化,人機協作正成為聯合作戰力量制勝的新邏輯。無人機、無人艦艇、無人戰車、無人潛航器等無人裝備已經成為聯合作戰力量的重要組成部分,它們能夠在高危環境下遂行偵察、監視、打擊、干擾等任務,大大提高了作戰力量的生存能力和作戰效能。人工智能技術的應用也使得武器裝備具備了一定的自主行動能力,能夠與人自主協同完成復雜任務,機器智能不僅改變了作戰力量的構成形式,也改變了其運用方式。未來,隨著人機融合技術的持續進步,人與機器的界限會日益模糊,人機協作也將達到更高水平。

從作戰行動視角看:由分域配合向跨域融合深化

作戰行動是聯合作戰的具體實踐,其組織形式和實施方式將直接影響聯合作戰的整體效能。在傳統的聯合作戰中,受限於指揮控制能力和各軍兵種之間的協同機制,各軍兵種力量僅能在各自作戰領域內遂行任務,並通過預先制定的協同計劃進行有限的配合。這種分域配合的模式很容易出現協同失調、行動脫節等問題。進入信息時代,隨著全域感知能力的提升和指揮控制手段的完善,聯合作戰行動正逐步向跨域融合的方向發展。跨域融合強調打破各作戰領域之間的界限,實現作戰力量在陸、海、空、天、電、網等多域空間的無縫銜接和深度融合,形成整體聯動的作戰效果。各域作戰力量能夠實時共享戰場信息,動態調整作戰行動,快速跨越地理空間和領域界限,在多個域內同時展開行動,通過多域信息的融合共享,實現各域作戰行動的高度協同和精確配合,形成疊加增效的整體作戰效果。未來,隨著信息技術的不斷發展,聯合作戰行動的跨域融合程度將進一步加深,成為聯合作戰制勝的關鍵所在。

從作戰指控視角看:由中央輻射向彈性邊緣演進

作戰指揮控制是聯合作戰的“大腦”和“神經中樞”,其模式選擇和效能發揮將直接決定聯合作戰行動的成敗。在機械化戰爭時代,由於指控技術手段有限,聯合作戰指控通常采取中央輻射、層級樹狀的組織模式。這種模式以最高指揮機構為中心,通過逐級向下傳遞命令和向上反饋信息的方式實施作戰指揮控制,具有行動集中統一的顯著優勢,但也存在指揮層級多、信息傳遞慢、應變能力差等不足。隨著信息網絡技術和人工智能技術的發展,現代聯合作戰指控正在向彈性邊緣的方向發展演變。模塊化、可重組的指揮體系結構,使整個作戰體系能夠根據作戰任務和戰場環境的變化,靈活調整指揮關系和指揮流程,在保持戰略意圖集中統一的前提下,賦予體系邊緣的戰術節點更大的自主決策權,進而提高了作戰體系的靈活性和應變能力,能夠更好地適應未來戰場局勢瞬息萬變的挑戰。未來,隨著腦機接口、量子通信等技術的發展,聯合作戰指控的實時性、准確性和靈活性還將達到新的高度。

總之,隨著信息技術、人工智能等新興技術的發展及其在軍事領域的廣泛應用,聯合作戰形態正在發生持續演變,聯合作戰制勝機理也隨之發生深刻變革。這不僅重塑了傳統的作戰理念和作戰方式,也對未來聯合作戰能力建設提出了新的更高要求。對此,我們必須保持戰略清醒和創新活力,密切關注世界軍事發展趨勢,深入研究聯合作戰制勝機理,不斷推動聯合作戰理論和實踐創新,為打贏信息化智能化戰爭奠定堅實基礎。

Chinese Military New Requirements of Combat-Oriented Training in the Era of Intelligentization

智慧化時代中國軍隊作戰導向訓練的新要求

現代英語:

As a high-intensity, targeted training closely aligned with actual combat, realistic combat training plays a crucial role in enhancing the combat effectiveness of the armed forces and is an inevitable choice for adapting to the evolving nature of warfare and responding to complex security threats. In the intelligent era, the deep integration of military technology, the suddenness of war outbreaks, and the rapid pace of offensive and defensive transitions are becoming increasingly prominent, posing systemic challenges to realistic combat training in areas such as demand guidance, environment construction, tactical innovation, and technological empowerment. To this end, we should focus on building a new training management model that accurately maps needs, deeply embeds adversaries, makes tactics flexible and effective, and deeply integrates technology, so as to achieve resonance between training scenarios and combat environments, dynamic coupling between training content and combat actions, and precise alignment between training results and actual combat needs, thereby comprehensively improving the overall quality and efficiency of combat-oriented training.

The need to meet the demands of “combat” necessitates intensive training based on specific plans.

In the intelligent era, the diversification of weapons, equipment, and combat methods has brought more variables to combat operations. Realistic training must be aligned with actual combat needs, calibrate training objectives through testing in real scenarios, continuously enhance the flexibility of combat plans, and improve the adaptability of troops.

Operational guidance calibrates training targets. As a form of training closely aligned with actual combat, realistic training can only achieve maximum effectiveness by closely adhering to the needs of intelligent warfare, transforming abstract operational concepts into concrete training topics, and deconstructing strategic and operational requirements into quantifiable and assessable tactical indicators. Emphasis should be placed on battlefield adaptability training in complex and ever-changing battlefield environments, strengthening training on challenging issues such as cyber and electronic warfare, autonomous coordination, and the integration of new technologies, to ensure that a proactive battlefield advantage is always maintained. Training content should be dynamically optimized by closely monitoring cutting-edge operational concepts, continuously promoting the interaction and coupling of actual combat and training, and consistently maintaining a high level of combat readiness training.

Practice refines and strengthens the resilience of operational plans. Intelligent warfare is fast-paced and rapidly changing; only through repeated verification and refinement in realistic training can the feasibility and adaptability of operational plans be guaranteed. A multi-functional, intelligent, and professional training ground system should be constructed to continuously refine key aspects such as command and decision-making, force deployment, and operational coordination in scenario-based training, constantly testing the resilience of the command chain, the robustness of coordination mechanisms, and the sustainability of the support system. In fact, testing and improving operational plans through realistic training is timeless. Prior to the Normandy landings, the Allied forces conducted Exercise Tiger at Slapton Beach to improve combat skills, enhance combat experience, and test coordination efficiency. Despite a series of oversights and errors, serious deficiencies in command and communication, landing and unloading were also discovered. By revising and improving the combat plan and addressing the shortcomings, the actual combat casualty rate was greatly reduced, laying a solid foundation for the successful implementation of the final landing operation.

Mission-driven training strengthens capabilities. High-intensity, near-real combat training effectively exposes weaknesses and deficiencies, forcing units to develop targeted measures and ultimately boosting combat capabilities. Close attention should be paid to the specific tasks undertaken by the troops, such as reconnaissance and surveillance, information warfare, force projection, and unmanned operations. Problems should be identified during exercises and practical training, and countermeasures should be developed according to local conditions to address weaknesses in combat capabilities. Before the Hundred Regiments Offensive during the War of Resistance Against Japan, a unit of the Eighth Route Army, recognizing its weak railway sabotage capabilities, conducted targeted intensive training focusing on reconnaissance and surveillance, explosives demolition, and dismantling and transportation. This significantly improved the unit’s railway sabotage capabilities, laying a crucial foundation for victory.

Based on the standard of “war”, we insist on independent confrontation.

In the intelligent era, intelligent unmanned equipment is being used extensively, new combat forces with new characteristics are constantly emerging, and the features of hybrid games and system confrontation are becoming more prominent. This requires that combat-oriented training must be based on actual combat standards and targeted confrontation training must be carried out against strong adversaries.

Reconstructing cognitive benchmarks through re-enactment of enemy situations. Accurate understanding of the operational target system and the adversary’s combat capabilities is not only a prerequisite for winning intelligent warfare but also the foundation for planning and organizing effective combat-oriented training. We must closely monitor the adversary, comprehensively, accurately, and systematically grasp the latest military intelligence dynamics regarding their operational theories, command methods, tactics, operational deployments, and the performance of key weapons and equipment. Furthermore, we must deeply study countermeasures, cultivate the ability to win, and ensure that we anticipate the enemy’s moves and achieve surprise victories in wartime. We should systematically deconstruct the future battlefield environment, starting from multiple dimensions such as the strategic domain, physical domain, network domain, and electromagnetic domain, and use multiple methods to construct a training environment that matches information-based and intelligent warfare, providing strong support for key training subjects and seeking winning strategies.

Red-Blue competition drives a qualitative leap in capabilities. In the context of intelligent warfare, combat-oriented training places greater emphasis on targeted and intense confrontation, requiring the creation of simulated “Blue Force” forces to higher standards, the design of appropriate training content, and the effective implementation of adversarial red-Blue confrontation training. It is essential to focus on tactical confrontation training, operational confrontation exercises, and in-depth strategic game-based confrontation simulations, ensuring their effective implementation at all levels of combat-oriented training. Emphasis should be placed on both virtual simulation confrontation exercises and live-fire confrontation exercises, combining virtual and real elements to provide strong support for combat-oriented training. The training should not only present the size and weaponry of the adversary but also reflect their tactical applications and systemic operations, providing a reliable and credible “touchstone” for combat-oriented training.

Extreme training is essential for honing systemic capabilities. Only by benchmarking against actual combat and organizing realistic training with the standards and intensity of “war” can we objectively assess the combat effectiveness of the troops and promote the improvement of their systemic capabilities. Based on specific enemy situations and complex battlefields, we must deeply anticipate unforeseen circumstances, starting with the most difficult, complex, and passive situations. We should create numerous dangerous, stalemate, difficult, critical, and dire situations to cultivate the confidence and courage to fight and win, and the ability to adapt and achieve victory in perilous circumstances, thereby comprehensively testing and refining the troops’ combat capabilities.

Anchoring “Battle” Effectiveness Innovations in Tactics and Combat Methods

Combat operations in the intelligent era exhibit some new characteristics, emphasizing information dominance and system integration, as well as precise control and accurate energy release. This also requires combat-oriented training to focus on combat effectiveness and seek more effective methods and measures for innovative tactics and maneuvers.

Training and research should be integrated to drive tactical innovation. Effective tactics are often gradually refined and formed through actual combat training. By leveraging the “tempering” process of realistic combat training, weaknesses in tactical application can be exposed to the greatest extent, prompting the innovation and improvement of tactics and methods. Based on the fundamental orientation of practicality and effectiveness, we should strengthen the innovative application of tactics and training methods, deeply analyze combat patterns, capability chains, key nodes, force organization, and tactical means in theoretical research and practical exercises, accelerate the integration of new domains and new quality systems, and ensure the effective implementation of new combat concepts, tailoring “trump cards” and “tactical sets” for countering and defeating the enemy.

Realistic combat training drives the testing of tactics. Tactics that remain at the theoretical level have no vitality; only tactics that have undergone repeated testing in realistic combat can quickly adapt to the future battlefield. Therefore, realistic combat training places greater emphasis on tactics originating from practice, being tested in practice, and being applied to practice. Through repeated simulation training, deduction exercises, and live-fire drills, scientific and applicable command principles, action points, and support essentials should be formed. Tactics should be tested, enriched, and improved in practice to fully adapt to future informationized and intelligent warfare.

Advancing the evolution of tactics in accordance with the times. No matter how times change, surprise and flexibility remain the “soul” of tactical application and the prerequisite for gaining the initiative on the battlefield. In the intelligent era, new equipment and tactics supported by model algorithms are constantly emerging. Only by keeping pace with the trends of military reform, proactively analyzing the laws of war and the mechanisms of victory, and being one step ahead in discovering and updating tactics, can we ensure that we can deploy our forces and exert our strength one step ahead of the enemy in wartime. Recent local conflicts have repeatedly demonstrated to us the practical application of new operational concepts and the continuous emergence of new tactics and methods. We should focus on strong enemy targets, confront threats and challenges head-on, actively adapt to changes, and proactively seek changes. Based on operational concepts such as flexible mobility and asymmetric enemy control, we should develop and design strategies and tactics to defeat the enemy and comprehensively improve our battlefield adaptability.

Strengthen technological capabilities in line with the trends of “warfare”.

In the intelligent era, the extensive and in-depth application of new-generation military technologies has not only accelerated the pace of warfare, changed the form of war, and given rise to new threats, but also provided more options for combat-oriented training.

Knowledge reshaping elevates cognitive thinking. Cognitive thinking reflects the depth of understanding of warfare and the degree of adaptability to the battlefield. Therefore, some consider cognitive thinking a key foundational element of command ability. In the intelligent era, only those with keen technological awareness and battlefield perception can accurately grasp the battlefield situation, precisely control forces, and flexibly manage actions to gain a combat advantage. It is crucial to strengthen the learning of the latest technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, and blockchain, and through targeted training, systematically master the characteristics and laws of informationized and intelligent warfare, establish a systemic warfare mindset, and enhance technological effectiveness for realistic combat training.

Simulation interaction optimizes environmental conditions. Virtual simulation technology not only has advantages in reducing material input and lowering safety risks, but also in constructing intelligent warfare scenarios to improve training quality. Emphasis should be placed on utilizing virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality technologies to construct highly immersive and interactive virtual battlefield spaces, providing trainees with realistic visual, auditory, and tactile experiences. Emphasis should also be placed on leveraging intelligent wearable devices, sensor arrays, and virtual simulation systems to construct training scenarios that closely resemble actual combat, supporting trainees in battlefield awareness and action simulation training, and comprehensively improving the quality of combat-oriented training.

Intelligent empowerment revitalizes data and information. In the intelligent era, the multidimensionality of the environment, the diversity of force equipment, and the variety of offensive and defensive confrontations have led to a massive surge of combat training data, making its management and application a major challenge in training practice. Data mining technology should be fully utilized, leveraging big data, algorithms, and large models to transform the vast amounts of scattered behavioral, physiological, and environmental data generated in training practice into quantifiable, traceable, and optimizable digital resources. This will enable the centralized delivery and innovative application of training information. Based on this, a closed-loop management system for training information—”decision-planning-collection-processing-evaluation”—can be established to drive the transformation of combat training from generalized, extensive management to intelligent, precise management.

現代國語:

實戰化訓練作為一種緊貼實戰的高強度針對性訓練,對於提升部隊戰斗力發揮著至關重要的作用,是適應戰爭形態發展、應對復雜安全威脅的必然選項。智能時代,軍事技術的深介入、戰爭爆發的突然性、攻防轉換的快節奏越發凸顯,使得實戰化訓練在需求傳導、環境構建、戰法創新、科技賦能等方面面臨系統性挑戰。為此,應著力構建需求精准映射、對手深度嵌入、戰法靈活有效、技術深度融入的新型訓練管理模式,實現訓練場景與作戰環境同頻共振、訓練內容與作戰行動動態耦合、訓練成果與實戰需求精確對接,全方位提升實戰化訓練綜合質效。

對接“戰”的需求突出依案強訓

智能時代,武器裝備、作戰手段的多樣化,使得作戰行動具有更多變量。實戰化訓練必須對接實戰需求,在實案實情檢驗中校准訓練指向,不斷強化作戰方案柔韌性,提升部隊能力適應性。

作戰牽引校准訓練靶向。作為一種緊貼實戰的訓練形式,實戰化訓練唯有緊扣智能化戰爭需求,將抽象作戰構想轉化為具體訓練課題,將戰略戰役需求解構為可量化、可評估的戰術指標,方能求得最大訓練實效。應突出復雜多變戰場環境下的戰場適應性訓練,強化網電攻防、自主協同、新質融入等重難問題訓練,以確保始終佔據戰場優勢主動。應緊盯前沿作戰理念,動態優化訓練內容,不斷推動實戰與訓練互動耦合,始終保持戰備訓練的高水准。

實踐淬煉強化方案韌性。智能化戰爭節奏緊湊、瞬息萬變,只有在實戰化訓練中歷經反復驗證打磨,才能保證作戰方案的可行性適應性。應構建多功能、智能化、專業化訓練場地體系,在基於實案的訓練中持續推敲指揮決策、兵力運用、作戰協同等關鍵環節,不斷考驗指揮鏈路抗毀性、協同機制穩健性、保障體系持續性。事實上,通過實戰化訓練檢驗完善作戰方案,無論在哪個年代都不過時。諾曼底登陸前,盟軍為提升作戰技能、增強實戰體驗、檢驗協同效率,在斯拉普頓海灘組織參戰部隊開展“猛虎演習”,盡管出現了一系列疏忽失誤,但也發現了指揮通聯、登陸卸載等多項嚴重缺陷,進而通過修訂完善作戰方案、改進問題不足,大大降低了實際作戰傷亡率,為最後登陸作戰行動的成功實施打下了堅實基礎。

任務驅動補強能力短板。高強度近實戰的實戰化訓練,能夠最大程度暴露能力短板缺陷,倒逼部隊制定針對性措施,反哺作戰能力躍升。應緊盯部隊擔負的偵察監視、信息攻防、力量投送、無人作戰等具體任務,在演訓實踐中發現矛盾問題,因地制宜研究對策,補足作戰能力弱環。抗日戰爭百團大戰前,八路軍某部針對鐵路破襲能力薄弱的現實狀況,圍繞偵察警戒、炸藥爆破、拆除搬運等展開針對性強化訓練,大大提高了部隊道路破襲能力,奠定了作戰勝利的重要基礎。

基於“戰”的標准堅持自主對抗

智能時代,智能無人裝備大量運用,新域新質作戰力量不斷湧現,混合博弈、體系對抗的特征更加鮮明,要求實戰化訓練必須基於實戰標准,緊盯強敵對手展開針對性對抗訓練。

敵情復現重構認知基准。對作戰目標體系和對手作戰能力的精准認知,既是打贏智能化戰爭的前提,也是籌劃組織好實戰化訓練的基礎。應緊盯作戰對手,全面、准確、系統掌握其作戰理論、指揮方式、戰法打法、作戰部署、關鍵武器裝備性能等最新軍情動態,進而深研應對策略,鍛造打贏能力,確保戰時料敵於先、出奇制勝。應系統解構未來戰場環境,從戰略域、物理域、網絡域、電磁域等多維空間入手,多法並舉構設與信息化智能化戰爭相匹配的演訓環境,為演練重點課目、尋求制勝招法等提供強力支撐。

紅藍競技催生能力質變。智能化戰爭背景下,實戰化訓練更加強調訓練的針對性、強對抗,要求以更高標准打造模擬“藍軍”力量、設置適配訓練內容,開展好互為對手紅藍對抗訓練。既要抓實戰術對抗訓練,也要抓牢戰役對抗演練,還要抓深戰略博弈對抗推演,落地落位各層級實戰化訓練。既要注重虛擬仿真對抗演訓,也要關注實兵實裝對抗演練,虛實結合為實戰化訓練提供強力支持。既要呈現出作戰對手的編制規模、武器裝備,更要反映出其戰法運用、體系運轉,為實戰化訓練提供可靠可信“試金石”。

極限磨礪鍛造體系能力。只有對標對表實戰,以“戰”的標准強度組織實戰化訓練,才能客觀檢驗部隊戰斗力水平,推動部隊體系能力提升。要依據具體敵情、復雜戰場,深度預想突發情況,從應對最困難、最復雜、最被動局面出發,多設險局、僵局、難局、危局、殘局,在近似實戰的環境中培養敢打必勝的信心勇氣、險中求勝的應變能力,全面檢驗和錘煉部隊實戰能力。

錨定“戰”的效能創新戰法打法

智能時代的作戰行動呈現出一些全新特征,更加強調信息主導、體系集成,更加強調精確調控、精准釋能,這也要求實戰化訓練要錨定作戰效能,在創新戰法打法上尋求更多行之有效的方法措施。

研訓一體驅動戰術革新。行之有效的戰術,往往在實戰實訓中逐步凝練形成。借助實戰化訓練這一“淬火”環節,可以最大限度暴露戰術運用弱點,牽引推動戰法打法破舊立新、修訂完善。應基於實用管用根本導向,強化戰法訓法創新運用,在理論攻關和演訓實踐中深度解析作戰樣式、能力鏈路、節點樞紐、力量編組和戰法手段等,加快推動新域新質體系融入、新型作戰概念落地見效,量身打造抗敵制敵的“撒手鐧”“戰法集”。

真打實訓推動戰法檢驗。停留在理論層面的戰法是沒有生命力的,只有歷經真打實訓反復檢驗的戰法才能迅速適應未來戰場。因此,實戰化訓練更加強調戰法打法源於實踐、驗於實踐、用於實踐。要通過反復開展模擬訓練、仿真推演、實兵實裝演練,形成科學適用的指揮要則、行動要點、保障要義,在實踐中檢驗、豐富和完善戰法打法,全面適應未來信息化智能化戰爭。

因時順勢推進戰法演進。無論時代如何變遷,出敵不意、靈活機動始終是戰法運用的“魂”,是獲取戰場主動的前提。智能時代,模型算法支撐下的新裝備、新戰法不斷湧現,只有緊跟軍事變革潮流主動解析戰爭規律、制勝機理,先人一步挖掘戰法、更新戰法,才能保證戰時先敵一步布勢、先敵一步發力。近幾場局部戰爭沖突,一再向我們展示新型作戰概念的真切運用,新型戰法打法的層出不窮。應聚焦強敵靶標,直面威脅挑戰,積極適變、主動求變,基於靈活機動、非對稱制敵等作戰理念,開發設計克敵之策、制敵之計,全面提升戰場適應能力。

緊扣“戰”的趨向強化科技賦能

智能時代,由於新一代軍事技術的廣泛深度運用,在加速作戰節奏、改變戰爭形態、催生新型威脅的同時,也為實戰化訓練提供了更多選項。

知識重塑抬升認知思維。思維認知能力反映對戰爭的認識高度,折射對戰場的適應程度。因此,有人將思維認知能力看作指揮能力的關鍵基礎要素。在智能時代,只有具備敏銳的科技認知、戰場感知,才可能在戰時精准掌握戰場態勢、精密調控力量、靈活控制行動,取得作戰優勢勝勢。要注重強化大數據、物聯網、雲計算、區塊鏈等最新科技知識學習,並通過針對性訓練,系統掌握信息化智能化戰爭特性規律,樹牢體系化戰爭思維,為實戰化訓練疊加科技效能。

仿真交互優化環境條件。虛擬仿真技術不僅在減少耗材投入、降低安全風險方面佔據優勢,而且在構設智能化戰爭場景提高訓練質量方面具有優勢。應注重運用虛擬現實、增強現實、混合現實等技術,構建高度沉浸式可交互的虛擬戰場空間,為受訓人員提供視覺、聽覺、觸覺的真實感受。應注重依托智能穿戴設備、傳感器陣列和虛擬仿真系統等,構建貼近實戰的訓練場景,支撐受訓人員展開戰場感知、行動模擬等訓練,全面提升實戰化訓練的質量層次。

智能賦能盤活數據信息。智能時代,環境空間的多維性、力量裝備的多元性、攻防對抗的多樣性,使得實戰化訓練數據信息海量湧現,其管理運用也成為訓練實踐中的一大難題。應充分利用數據挖掘技術,借助大數據、算法、大模型等,將訓練實踐中大量離散的行為數據、生理數據、環境數據等轉化為可量化、可追溯、可優化的數字資源,進而實現訓練信息的歸口推送、創新運用。在此基礎上,通過形成訓練信息“決策—計劃—采集—處理—評估”閉環管理體系,推動實戰化訓練從概略粗放管理向智能精准管理轉變。

Functional Orientation of the Modern Combat System with Chinese Characteristics

中國特色現代作戰體系的功能定位

2018年08月14日 xx:xx 来源:解放军报

現代英語:

Functional Orientation of the Modern Combat System with Chinese Characteristics

  Key Points

  ● The coexistence, iterative development, dynamic evolution, and integrated development of multiple generations of mechanization, informatization, and intelligentization constitute the historical context of national defense and military construction in the new era, and also represent the historical position of building a modern combat system with Chinese characteristics.

  ● Traditional and non-traditional security threats are intertwined, and various strategic directions and security fields face diverse real and potential threats of local wars. This requires our military to abandon old models such as linear warfare, traditional ground warfare, and homeland defense warfare, and accelerate the transformation to joint operations and all-domain operations.

  The report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed that, standing at a new historical starting point and facing the demands of building a strong country and a strong military, “we should build a modern combat system with Chinese characteristics.” This is a strategic choice to adapt to the rapidly evolving nature of warfare, to thoroughly implement Xi Jinping’s thought on strengthening the military, to comprehensively advance the modernization of national defense and the armed forces, and to aim at building a world-class military. Among these choices, the grasp of the functional orientation of the modern combat system with Chinese characteristics greatly influences the goals, direction, and quality of its construction.

  Seize the opportunities of the times and take the integrated development of mechanization, informatization and intelligentization as the historical orientation.

  The combat system is the material foundation of war and is closely related to the form of warfare. In today’s world, a new round of technological and industrial revolution is brewing and emerging. Original and disruptive breakthroughs in some major scientific problems are opening up new frontiers and directions, prompting human society to rapidly transform towards intelligence, and accelerating the evolution of warfare towards intelligence. Currently, our military is in a stage of integrated mechanization and informatization development. Mechanization is not yet complete, informatization is being deeply advanced, and we are facing both opportunities and challenges brought about by the intelligent military revolution. The new era provides us with a rare historical opportunity to achieve innovative breakthroughs and rapid development, and also provides a rare historical opportunity for our military’s combat system construction to achieve generational leaps and leapfrog development.

  A new era and a new starting point require establishing a new coordinate system. The coexistence, iterative development, dynamic evolution, and integrated development of multiple generations of mechanization, informatization, and intelligentization constitute the historical context of national defense and military construction in the new era, and also the historical position of building a modern combat system with Chinese characteristics. We should accurately grasp the historical process of the evolution of warfare, the historical stage of the combined development of mechanization and informatization, and the historical opportunities brought about by intelligent warfare. We must prioritize the development of military intelligence, using intelligence to lead and drive mechanization and informatization, coordinating mechanization and informatization within the overall framework of intelligent construction, and completing the tasks of mechanization and informatization development within the process of intelligentization. We must focus on top-level design for military intelligence development, researching and formulating a strategic outline and roadmap for military intelligence development, clarifying key areas, core technologies, key projects, and steps for intelligent development, and accelerating the construction of a military intelligent combat system. We must achieve significant progress as soon as possible in key technologies such as deep learning, cross-domain integration, human-machine collaboration, autonomous control, and neural networks, improving the ability to materialize advanced scientific and technological forces into advanced weaponry and equipment, and providing material conditions for building a modern combat system.

  Emphasizing system-on-system confrontation, with the development of joint operations and all-domain operations capabilities as the core indicators.

  Information-based local wars are characterized by integrated joint operations as their basic form, with network support, information dominance, and system-on-system confrontation as their main features. The combat capability generation model is shifting towards a network-based information system. Currently and for some time to come, my country’s geostrategic environment remains complex, with traditional and non-traditional security threats intertwined. Various strategic directions and security domains face diverse real and potential threats of local wars. Simultaneously, with the expansion of national interests, the security of overseas interests is becoming increasingly prominent, requiring the PLA to abandon old models such as linear warfare, traditional ground warfare, and territorial defense warfare, and accelerate its transformation towards joint operations and all-domain operations.

  The report of the 19th CPC National Congress pointed out that “enhancing joint operational capabilities and all-domain operational capabilities based on network information systems” is a new summary of the PLA’s operational capabilities in the new era and a core indicator for building a modern operational system with Chinese characteristics. We should actively explore the characteristics, laws, and winning mechanisms of modern warfare, and proactively design future operational models, force application methods, and command and coordination procedures to provide advanced theoretical support for building a modern operational system with Chinese characteristics. Following the new pattern of the Central Military Commission exercising overall command, theater commands focusing on combat operations, and services focusing on force development, we should adapt to the new joint operational command system, the reform of the military’s size, structure, and force composition, highlighting the network information system as the core support, and building an operational system capable of generating powerful joint operational capabilities to fully leverage the overall power of the various services and branches. With a view to properly addressing various strategic directions and traditional and non-traditional security threats, ensuring the PLA can reliably carry out various operational missions, we should build an operational system capable of generating powerful all-domain operational capabilities, achieving overall linkage across multiple battlefields and domains, including land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace.

  Focusing on real threats, the strategic objective is to gain an asymmetric advantage over the enemy.

  The world today is at a new turning point in the international situation, with strategic competition among major powers taking on new forms and the struggle for dominance in the international and regional order becoming unprecedentedly fierce. The specter of hegemonism and power politics lingers, and some countries are intensifying their efforts to guard against and contain China. my country’s geostrategic environment is becoming increasingly complex, with multiple destabilizing factors, facing multi-directional security pressures, and an increasingly complex maritime security environment. All of these factors contribute to increasing the dangers and challenges to national security.

  Effectively responding to real military security threats is a crucial strategic task in our military preparedness and a strategic direction for building a modern combat system with Chinese characteristics. We should focus on keeping up with technological advancements, vigorously developing advanced equipment, and striving to avoid creating new technological gaps with potential adversaries. This will provide solid material support for the construction of our combat system. Simultaneously, we must emphasize leveraging the PLA’s long-standing principles of flexibility, mobility, and independent operation, capitalizing on our strengths and avoiding weaknesses, targeting the enemy’s vulnerabilities and weaknesses. We should not simply compete with the best in high-tech fields, but rather focus on deterring the enemy and preventing war. We must accelerate the development of asymmetric counterbalancing mechanisms, strengthen the construction of conventional strategic means, new concepts and mechanisms, and strategic deterrence in new domains, supporting the formation of a new combat system with new deterrent and combat capabilities. We must not fear direct confrontation, preparing for the most complex and difficult situations, and building a combat system capable of providing multiple means, forces, and methods to address diverse war threats. This will ensure that, in the event of conflict, the comprehensive effectiveness of the combat system is fully utilized, guaranteeing victory in battle and deterring further war through war.

  Promoting military-civilian integration and using the national strategic system to support winning the people’s war in the new era is a fundamental requirement.

  The deepest roots of the power of war lie within the people. The concept of people’s war is the magic weapon for our army to defeat the enemy. Modern warfare is a comprehensive confrontation of the combined strength of opposing sides, involving political, economic, military, technological, and cultural fronts. Various armed forces are closely integrated, and various forms of struggle are coordinated with each other. The role and status of civilian technology and civilian forces in war are increasingly important, which further requires integrating the national defense system into the national economic and social system and striving to win the people’s war in the new era.

  Leveraging the power of military-civilian integration to support the fight against people’s war in the new era with the national strategic system is a fundamental requirement for building a modern combat system with Chinese characteristics. We must deeply implement the national strategy of military-civilian integration, deeply integrate the construction of our military’s combat system into the national strategic system, utilize national resources and overall strength to achieve a continuous leap in combat effectiveness, and maximize the overall power of people’s war. We must focus on strengthening military-civilian integration in emerging strategic fields, actively seize the commanding heights of future military competition, and continuously create new advantages in people’s war. We must incorporate the military innovation system into the national innovation system, strengthen demand alignment and collaborative innovation, enhance independent innovation, original innovation, and integrated innovation capabilities, and proactively discover, cultivate, and utilize strategic, disruptive, and cutting-edge technologies to provide advanced technological support for building a modern combat system. We must also focus on the in-depth exploitation of civilian resources, strengthen the integration of various resources that can serve national defense and military construction, prevent duplication and waste, self-contained systems, and closed operations, and maximize the incubation effect of civilian resources on the construction of a modern combat system.

●傳統和非傳統安全威脅相互交織,各戰略方向、各安全領域面臨多樣化現實和潛在的局部戰爭威脅,要求我軍必須摒棄平麵線式戰、傳統地面戰、國土防禦戰等舊模式,加快向聯合作戰、全域作戰轉變。

黨的十九大報告提出,站在新的歷史起點上,面對強國強軍的時代要求,“構建中國特色現代作戰體系”。這是適應戰爭形態加速演變的時代要求,深入貫徹習近平強軍思想、全面推進國防和軍隊現代化、瞄準建設世界一流軍隊的戰略抉擇。其中,對中國特色現代作戰體系功能取向的把握,極大影響著體系構建的目標、方向和質量。

抓住時代機遇,以機械化信息化智能化融合發展為歷史方位

作戰體係是戰爭的物質基礎,與戰爭形態緊密關聯。當今世界,新一輪科技革命和產業革命正在孕育興起,一些重大科學問題的原創性顛覆性突破正在開闢新前沿新方向,促使人類社會向智能化快速轉型,戰爭形態向智能化加速演變。當前,我軍正處於機械化信息化複合發展階段,機械化尚未完成、信息化深入推進,又面臨智能化軍事革命帶來的機遇和挑戰。新時代為我們實現創新超越、快速發展提供了難得歷史機遇,也為我軍作戰體系建設實現跨代超越、彎道超車提供了難得歷史機遇。

新時代新起點,需要確立新的坐標系。機械化信息化智能化多代並存、迭代孕育、動態演進、融合發展,是新時代國防和軍隊建設的時代背景,也是中國特色現代作戰體系建設的歷史方位。應準確把握戰爭形態演變的歷史進程,準確把握機械化信息化複合發展的歷史階段,準確把握智能化戰爭帶來的歷史機遇,堅持把軍事智能化建設擺在優先發展位置,以智能化引領帶動機械化信息化,在智能化建設全局中統籌機械化信息化,在智能化進程中完成機械化信息化發展的任務;注重搞好軍事智能化發展的頂層設計,研究制定軍事智能化發展戰略綱要和路線圖,明確智能化發展的關鍵領域、核心技術、重點項目和步驟措施等,加快軍事智能化作戰體系建設進程;盡快在深度學習、跨界融合、人機協同、自主操控、神經網絡等關鍵技術上取得重大進展,提高先進科技力物化為先進武器裝備的能力,為構建現代作戰體系提供物質條件。

突出體係對抗,以打造聯合作戰和全域作戰能力為核心指標

信息化局部戰爭,一體化聯合作戰成為基本形式,網絡支撐、信息主導、體係對抗成為主要特徵,戰鬥力生成模式向基於網絡信息體系轉變。當前及今後一個時期,我國地緣戰略環境仍然複雜,傳統和非傳統安全威脅相互交織,各戰略方向、各安全領域面臨多樣化現實和潛在的局部戰爭威脅,同時隨著國家利益的拓展,海外利益安全問題日益凸顯,要求我軍必須摒棄平麵線式戰、傳統地面戰、國土防禦戰等舊模式,加快向聯合作戰、全域作戰轉變。

黨的十九大報告指出,“提高基於網絡信息體系的聯合作戰能力、全域作戰能力”,這是對新時代我軍作戰能力的新概括,也是中國特色現代作戰體系建設的核心指標。應積極探索現代戰爭特點規律和製勝機理,前瞻設計未來作戰行動模式、力量運用方式、指揮協同程式等,為構建中國特色現代作戰體系提供先進理論支撐;按照軍委管總、戰區主戰、軍種主建的新格局,適應聯合作戰指揮新體制、軍隊規模結構和力量編成改革,突出網絡信息體系這個核心支撐,打造能夠生成強大聯合作戰能力的作戰體系,充分發揮諸軍兵種作戰力量整體威力;著眼妥善應對各戰略方向、傳統和非傳統安全威脅,確保我軍可靠遂行各種作戰任務,打造能夠生成強大全域作戰能力的作戰體系,實現陸海空天電網多維戰場、多域戰場的整體聯動。

著眼現實威脅,以形成對敵非對稱作戰優勢為戰略指向

當今世界,國際形勢正處在新的轉折點上,大國戰略博弈呈現新態勢,圍繞國際和地區秩序主導權的鬥爭空前激烈。霸權主義和強權政治陰魂不散,一些國家加緊對華防範和遏制。我國地緣戰略環境日趨複雜,存在多重不穩定因素,面對多方向安全壓力,我海上安全環境日趨複雜等,這些都使得國家安全面臨的危險和挑戰增多。

有效應對現實軍事安全威脅,是我軍事鬥爭準備的重要戰略任務,也是中國特色現代作戰體系建設的戰略指向。應注重技術跟進,大力研發先進裝備,力避與潛在對手拉開新的技術代差,為作戰體系建設提供堅實物質支撐,同時注重發揮我軍歷來堅持的靈活機動、自主作戰原則,揚長避短,擊敵弱項、軟肋,不單純在高科技領域“與龍王比寶”,著眼懾敵止戰,加快發展非對稱制衡手段,加強常規戰略手段、新概念新機理和新型領域戰略威懾手段建設,支撐形成具有新質威懾與實戰能力的新型作戰體系;不懼直面過招,立足最複雜最困難情況,構建能夠提供多種手段、多種力量、多種方式應對多樣化戰爭威脅的作戰體系,確保一旦有事,充分發揮作戰體係綜合效能,確保戰而勝之、以戰止戰。

推進軍民融合,以國家戰略體系支撐打贏新時代人民戰爭為根本要求

戰爭偉力之最深厚根源存在於民眾之中。人民戰爭思想是我軍克敵制勝的法寶。現代戰爭是敵對雙方綜合實力的整體對抗,涉及政治、經濟、軍事、科技、文化等各條戰線,各種武裝力量緊密結合、各種鬥爭形式相互配合,民用技術和民間力量在戰爭中的地位作用日益提升,更加要求把國防體系融入國家經濟社會體系,努力打贏新時代人民戰爭。

發揮軍民融合時代偉力,以國家戰略體系支撐打贏新時代人民戰爭,是中國特色現代作戰體系建設的根本要求。要深入實施軍民融合發展國家戰略,推動我軍作戰體系建設深度融入國家戰略體系,利用國家資源和整體力量實現戰鬥力的持續躍升,最大限度發揮人民戰爭的整體威力;注重加強在新興戰略領域的軍民融合發展,積極搶占未來軍事競爭的製高點,不斷創造人民戰爭的新優勢;把軍事創新體系納入國家創新體系之中,加強需求對接、協同創新,增強自主創新、原始創新、集成創新能力,主動發現、培育和運用戰略性顛覆性前沿性技術,為構建現代作戰體系提供先進技術支撐;抓好民用資源深度挖掘,強化可服務於國防和軍隊建設的各種資源整合力度,防止重複浪費、自成體系、封閉運行,最大限度發揮民用資源對現代作戰體系構建的孵化效應。

Chinese Military Intelligence Drives Accelerated Development of Cyberspace Warfare

中國軍事情報推動網絡空間戰爭加速發展

現代英語:

The report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to “accelerate the development of military intelligence and improve joint operational capabilities and all-domain operational capabilities based on network information systems.” Today’s *PLA Daily* published an article stating that military intelligence is a new trend and direction in the development of the military field after mechanization and informatization. We must develop intelligence on the basis of existing mechanization and informatization, while using intelligence to drive mechanization and informatization to a higher level and a higher standard. Cyberspace, as a new operational domain, is a new field with high technological content and the greatest innovative vitality. Under the impetus of military intelligence, it is ushering in a period of rapid development opportunities.Illustration: Lei Yu

Military intelligence is driving the accelerated development of cyberspace operations.

■ Respected soldiers Zhou Dewang Huang Anwei

Three key technologies support the intelligentization of cyberspace weapons.

Intelligence is a kind of wisdom and capability; it is the perception, cognition, and application of laws by all systems with life cycles. Intelligentization is the solidification of this wisdom and capability into a state. Cyberspace weapons are weapons used to carry out combat missions in cyberspace. Their form is primarily software and code, essentially a piece of data. The intelligence of cyberspace weapons is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:

First, there’s intelligent vulnerability discovery. Vulnerabilities are the foundation of cyber weapon design. The ransomware that spread globally this May exploited a vulnerability in the Microsoft operating system, causing a huge shock in the cybersecurity community. Vulnerabilities are expensive, with a single zero-day vulnerability costing tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Previously, vulnerability discovery relied mainly on experienced hackers using software tools to inspect and analyze code. However, at the International Cybersecurity Technology Competition finals held during this year’s China Internet Security Conference, participants demonstrated how intelligent robots could discover vulnerabilities on-site, then use these vulnerabilities to write network code, creating cyber weapons to breach target systems and capture the flag. This change signifies that vulnerability discovery has entered the era of intelligent technology.

Second, intelligent signal analysis and cryptography. Signals are the carriers of network data transmission, and cryptography is the last line of defense for network data security. Signal analysis and cryptography are core technologies for cyberspace warfare. Breaking through signals and cryptography is the fundamental path to entering cyberspace and a primary target of cyber weapons attacks. Intelligent signal analysis solves problems such as signal protocol analysis, modulation identification, and individual identification through technologies such as big data, cloud computing, and deep learning. Cryptography is the “crown jewel” of computational science. Intelligent cryptography, through the accumulation of cryptographic data samples, continuously learns and searches for patterns to find the key to decryption, thereby opening the last door of the network data “safe” and solving the critical links of network intrusion and access.

Thirdly, there is the design of intelligent weapon platforms. In 2009, the U.S. military proposed the “Cyber ​​Aircraft” project, providing platforms similar to armored vehicles, ships, and aircraft for cyberspace operations. These platforms can automatically conduct reconnaissance, load cyber weapons, autonomously coordinate, and autonomously attack in cyberspace. When threatened, they can self-destruct and erase traces, exhibiting a certain degree of intelligence. In the future, the weapons loaded onto “Cyber ​​Aircraft” will not be pre-written code by software engineers, but rather intelligent cyber weapons will be designed in real-time based on discovered vulnerabilities, enabling “order-based” development and significantly improving the targeting of cyberspace operations.

The trend of intelligentization in network-controlled weapons is becoming increasingly prominent.

Weapons controlled by cyberspace, or cyber-controlled weapons, are weapons that connect to a network, receive commands from cyberspace, execute cross-domain missions, and achieve combat effects in physical space. Most future combat weapon platforms will be networked, making military information networks essentially the Internet of Things (IoT). These networks connect to satellites, radars, drones, and other network entities, enabling control from perception and detection to tracking, positioning, and strike. The intelligence of cyber-controlled weapons is rapidly developing across land, sea, air, space, and cyber domains.

In 2015, Syria used a Russian robotic force to defeat militants. The operation employed six tracked robots, four wheeled robots, an automated artillery corps, several drones, and a command system. Commanders used the command system to direct drones to locate militants, and the robots then charged, supported by artillery and drone fire, inflicting heavy casualties. This small-scale battle marked the beginning of robotic “team” operations.

Network-controlled intelligent weapons for naval and air battlefields are under extensive research and development and verification. In 2014, the U.S. Navy used 13 unmanned surface vessels to demonstrate and verify the interception of enemy ships by unmanned surface vessel swarms, mainly by exchanging sensor data, and achieved good results. When tested again in 2016, functions such as collaborative task allocation and tactical coordination were added, and “swarm awareness” became its prominent feature of intelligence.

The development of swarms of small, micro-sized drones for aerial combat is also rapid. In recent years, the U.S. Department of Defense has conducted multiple tests of the Partridge micro-drone, capable of deploying dozens or even hundreds at a time. By enhancing its coordination capabilities during reconnaissance missions, progress has been made in drone formation, command, control, and intelligent management.

Space-based cyber-control weapons are becoming increasingly “intelligent.” The space-based cyber-control domain primarily comprises two categories of weapons: reconnaissance and strike weapons. Satellites of various functions mainly perform reconnaissance missions and are typical reconnaissance sensors. With the emergence of various microsatellite constellations, satellites are exhibiting new characteristics: small size, rapid launch, large numbers, and greater intelligence. Microsatellite constellations offer greater flexibility and reliability in performing reconnaissance and communication missions, and currently, the world’s leading satellite powers are actively developing microsatellite constellation plans with broader coverage.

Various hypersonic strike weapons are cruising in the air, like a sword of Damocles hanging over people’s heads. The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory stated that the “hypersonic strike weapon” will begin flight testing around 2018, and other countries are also actively developing similar weapons. The most prominent features of these weapons are their high speed, long range, and high level of intelligence.

Intelligent command information systems are changing traditional combat command methods.

Cyber ​​weapons and weapons controlled by cyberspace constitute the “fist” of intelligent warfare, while the command information systems that direct the use of these weapons are the “brain” of intelligent warfare. Cyberspace operational command information systems must keep pace with the process of intelligentization. Currently, almost all global command information systems face the challenge of “intelligent lag.” Future warfare requires rapid and autonomous decision-making, which places higher demands on intelligent support systems.

In 2007, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) launched the “Deep Green Program,” a research and development program for command and control systems, aiming to enable computer-aided commanders to make rapid decisions and gain a decisive advantage. This is a campaign-level command information system, developed to be embedded into the U.S. Army’s brigade-level C4ISR wartime command information system, enabling intelligent command by commanders. Even today, the U.S. military has not relaxed its development of intelligent command information systems.

In cyberspace warfare, network targets are represented by a single IP address accessing the network. Their sheer number makes efficient manual operation difficult, necessitating the support of intelligent command and information systems. Currently, intelligent command and information systems need to achieve functions such as intelligent intelligence analysis, intelligent sensing, intelligent navigation and positioning, intelligent decision support, intelligent collaboration, intelligent assessment, and intelligent unmanned combat. In particular, they must enable swarm operational control of unmanned network control systems. All of these requirements urgently demand intelligent command and information systems, necessitating accelerated research and development and application of relevant key technologies.

In conclusion, intelligent cyber weapons and network control weapons, coordinated through intelligent information systems, will form enormous combat capabilities, essentially enabling them to carry out all actions in current combat scenarios. Future warfare, from command force organization to target selection, action methods, and tactical applications, will all unfold within an intelligent context. The “gamification” of warfare will become more pronounced, and operational command methods will undergo significant changes.

In future battlefields, combat will require not only courage but also intelligence.

■ Yang Jian, Zhao Lu

Currently, artificial intelligence is entering a new stage of development and is rapidly penetrating various fields. Influenced by this process, military competition among nations surrounding intelligent technologies has begun. Our army has always been a brave and tenacious people’s army, determined to fight and win. On the future battlefield, we should continue to carry forward our glorious traditions while more broadly mastering and utilizing the latest technological achievements to develop more intelligent weapons and equipment, thereby gaining a decisive advantage on the future battlefield.

Intelligentization is a trend in human societal development, and intelligent warfare is rapidly approaching. The development of military intelligence has a solid foundation thanks to successful innovations that transcend existing computational models, the gradual popularization of nanotechnology, and breakthroughs in research on the mechanisms of the human brain. Consequently, intelligent weaponry is increasingly prominent, surpassing and even replacing human capabilities in areas such as intelligence analysis and combat response. Furthermore, intelligent weaponry offers significant advantages in terms of manpower requirements, comprehensive support, and operating costs, and is increasingly becoming the dominant force in warfare.

The development and application of intelligent weaponry have proven to expand the scope of military operations and significantly enhance the combat effectiveness of troops. In the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, drones have undertaken most of the reconnaissance, intelligence, and surveillance support missions, and have been responsible for approximately one-third of the air strike missions. In the past two years, Russia has also repeatedly used highly intelligent unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and combat robots in the Syrian theater. Intelligent weaponry is increasingly demonstrating its significant value, surpassing that of traditional weapons.

In future wars, the contest of intelligent combat systems will be the key to victory in high-level competition and ultimate showdowns. As the development of technology-supported military means becomes increasingly uneven, whoever first acquires the capability to conduct intelligent warfare will be better positioned to seize the initiative on the battlefield. Those with a technological advantage will minimize the costs of war, while the weaker will inevitably suffer enormous losses and pay a heavy price. We must not only accelerate innovation in core technologies and the development of weaponry, but also research and explore organizational structures, command methods, and operational models adapted to the development of intelligent military operations. Furthermore, we must cultivate a talent pool capable of promoting intelligent military development and forging intelligent combat capabilities, fully leveraging the overall effectiveness of our military’s combat system, and winning wars in a more “intelligent” manner against our adversaries.

党的十九大报告指出,要“加快军事智能化发展,提高基于网络信息体系的联合作战能力、全域作战能力”。今天的《解放军报》刊发文章指出,军事智能化是机械化、信息化之后军事领域发展的新趋势和新方向,我们要在现有机械化和信息化基础上发展智能化,同时用智能化牵引机械化和信息化向更高水平、更高层次发展。网络空间作为新型作战领域,是科技含量高、最具创新活力的新领域,在军事智能化的牵引下,正在迎来快速发展的机遇期。制图:雷 煜

军事智能化牵引网络空间作战加速发展

■敬兵 周德旺 皇安伟

三大技术支撑网络空间武器智能化

智能是一种智慧和能力,是一切有生命周期的系统对规律的感应、认知与运用,智能化就是把这种智慧和能力固化下来,成为一种状态。网络空间武器是网络空间遂行作战任务的武器,其形态以软件和代码为主,本质上是一段数据。网络空间武器的智能化主要体现在以下三个方面:

一是智能化漏洞挖掘。漏洞是网络武器设计的基础,今年5月在全球范围内传播的勒索病毒软件,就是利用了微软操作系统漏洞,给网络安全界带来了巨大震动。漏洞价格昂贵,一个零日漏洞价值几万到几十万美元不等。以往漏洞的发现,主要依靠有经验的黑客,利用软件工具对代码进行检查和分析。在今年中国互联网安全大会期间举办的国际网络安全技术对抗联赛总决赛中,参赛人员演示由智能机器人现场进行漏洞挖掘,然后通过漏洞编写网络代码,形成网络武器,攻破目标系统,夺取旗帜。这一变化,意味着漏洞挖掘进入了智能化时代。

二是智能化信号分析和密码破译。信号是网络数据传输的载体,密码是网络数据安全最后的屏障,信号分析和密码破译是网络空间作战的核心技术,突破信号和密码是进入网络空间的基本路径,是网络武器攻击的首要目标。智能化信号分析将信号的协议分析、调制识别、个体识别等问题,通过大数据、云计算、深度学习等技术进行解决。密码破译是计算科学“皇冠上的明珠”,智能化密码破译通过对密码数据样本的积累,不断学习、寻找规律,能找到破译的钥匙,从而打开网络数据“保险柜”的最后一道门,解决网络入侵和接入的关键环节。

三是智能化武器平台设计。美军在2009年提出“网络飞行器”项目,为网络空间作战提供像战车、舰艇、飞机这样的平台,可以实现在网络空间里自动侦察、加载网络武器、自主协同、自主攻击,受到威胁时自我销毁、清除痕迹,具备了一定的智能化特征。未来“网络飞行器”加载的武器,不是软件人员编好的代码,而是根据侦察结果直接对发现的漏洞,现场实时进行智能化网络武器设计,实现“订购式”开发,从而极大地提高网络空间作战的针对性。

网控武器的智能化趋势愈加凸显

受网络空间控制的武器简称网控武器,是通过网络连接,接受网络空间指令,执行跨域任务,在物理空间达成作战效果的武器。未来的各种作战武器平台,大多是联网的武器平台,这样军事信息网本质上就是物联网,上联卫星、雷达、无人机等网络实体,从感知到发现、跟踪、定位、打击都可通过网络空间控制,网控武器的智能化已在陆海空天电等战场蓬勃发展。

2015年,叙利亚利用俄罗斯机器人军团击溃武装分子,行动采用了包括6个履带式机器人、4个轮式机器人、1个自动化火炮群、数架无人机和1套指挥系统。指挥员通过指挥系统调度无人机侦察发现武装分子,机器人向武装分子发起冲锋,同时伴随火炮和无人机攻击力量支援,对武装分子进行了致命打击。这仅仅是一场小规模的战斗,却开启了机器人“组团”作战的先河。

海空战场网控智能武器正在大量研发验证。2014年,美国海军使用13艘无人水面艇,演示验证无人艇集群拦截敌方舰艇,主要通过交换传感器数据,取得了不错的效果。2016年再次试验时,新增了协同任务分配、战术配合等功能,“蜂群意识”成为其智能化的显著特点。

用于空中作战的小微型无人机蜂群也在快速发展。近年来,美国国防部多次试验“山鹑”微型无人机,可一次投放数十架乃至上百架,通过提升其执行侦察任务时的协同能力,在无人机编队、指挥、控制、智能化管理等方面都取得了进展。

空天网控武器越来越“聪明”。空天领域主要包含侦察和打击两类网控武器,各种功能的卫星主要执行侦察任务,是典型的侦察传感器。随着各种小微卫星群的出现,使卫星表现出新的特征:体积小、发射快、数量多、更加智能。小微卫星群在执行侦察和通信任务时,有了更大的灵活度和可靠性,目前世界卫星强国都在积极制定覆盖范围更广的小微卫星群计划。

各种高超音速打击武器在空天巡航,仿佛悬在人们头顶的利剑。美国空军研究室称“高速打击武器”将在2018年前后启动飞行试验,其它各国也正在积极研发类似武器。这类武器最大的特点是速度快、航程远、智能化程度高。

智能化指挥信息系统改变传统作战指挥方式

网络空间武器和受网络空间控制的武器,是智能化战争的“拳头”,而指挥这些武器运用的指挥信息系统是智能化战争的“大脑”,网络空间作战指挥信息系统要同步跟上智能化的进程。当前,几乎全球的指挥信息系统都面临着“智能滞后”的难题,未来战争需要快速决策、自主决策,这对智能辅助系统提出了更高要求。

2007年,美国国防部高级研究计划局启动关于指挥控制系统的研发计划——“深绿计划”,以期能实现计算机辅助指挥员快速决策赢得制胜先机。这是一个战役战术级的指挥信息系统,其研发目的是将该系统嵌入美国陆军旅级C4ISR战时指挥信息系统中去,实现指挥员的智能化指挥。直到今天,美军也没有放松对智能化指挥信息系统的开发。

在网络空间作战中,网络目标表现为一个接入网络的IP地址,数量众多导致人工难以高效操作,作战更需要智能化指挥信息系统的辅助支撑。当前,智能化指挥信息系统需要实现智能情报分析、智能感知、智能导航定位、智能辅助决策、智能协同、智能评估、智能化无人作战等功能,尤其是实现对无人网控系统的集群作战操控,这都对智能化指挥信息系统提出了迫切需求,需要加快相应关键技术的研发和运用。

综上所述,智能化的网络武器和网控武器,通过智能化的信息系统调度,将形成巨大的作战能力,基本能遂行现行作战样式中的所有行动。未来战争,从指挥力量编组、到目标选择、行动方式、战法运用等,都将在智能化的背景下展开,战争“游戏化”的特点将更显著,作战指挥方式也将发生重大变化。

未来战场 斗勇更需斗“智”

■杨建 赵璐

当前,人工智能发展进入崭新阶段,并开始向各个领域加速渗透。受这一进程的影响,各国围绕智能化的军事竞争已拉开帷幕。我军历来是一支英勇顽强、敢打必胜的人民军队,未来战场上应继续发扬光荣传统,同时要更加广泛地掌握和利用最新的科技成果,研制出更多智能化的武器装备,在未来战场上掌握制胜先机。

智能化是人类社会发展的趋势,智能化战争正在加速到来。正是由于超越原有体系结构计算模型的成功创新、纳米制造技术的逐步普及,以及对人脑机理研究的突破性进展,军事智能化发展才拥有了坚实的基础。因此,智能化武器装备的表现日益突出,并在情报分析、战斗反应等方面开始超越并替代人类。此外,在人力需求、综合保障、运行成本等方面,智能化武器装备也具有明显的优势,正在日益成为战争的主导力量。

事实证明,智能化武器装备的发展应用,拓展了军事行动的能力范围,大幅提升了部队的作战效能。在阿富汗和伊拉克战场上,无人机已承担了大部分侦察、情报、监视等作战保障任务,并担负了约三分之一的空中打击任务。近两年,俄罗斯在叙利亚战场上也多次使用具有较高智能化程度的无人侦察机、战斗机器人等装备。智能化武器装备正在愈来愈多地展现出超越传统武器的重要价值。

未来战争中,作战体系智能化的较量将是高手过招、巅峰对决的制胜关键。随着以科技为支撑的军事手段发展的不平衡性越来越大,谁先具备实施智能化作战的能力,谁就更能掌握战场的主动权,拥有技术代差优势的强者会尽可能将战争成本降到最低,而弱者必然遭受巨大损失,付出惨重代价。我们不仅要加紧核心技术创新、武器装备研制,还要研究探索适应军事智能化发展的组织结构、指挥方式和运用模式,更要培养一支能够担起推进军事智能化发展、锻造智能化作战能力的人才队伍,充分发挥我军作战体系的整体效能,在与对手的较量中,以更加“智慧”的方式赢得战争。

Chinese Military Exclusive Requirements for Strategies & Tactics of People’s War in The New Era

新時代中國軍隊對人民戰爭戰略戰術的獨特要求

現代英語:

Looking back on its glorious combat history, the People’s Army has consistently adhered to the absolute leadership of the Party, proposing and implementing a comprehensive set of strategies and tactics for people’s war. These strategies and tactics are a crucial weapon for the People’s Army to defeat the strong with the weak and to conquer the enemy. Over the past 98 years, with the changing times and evolving forms of warfare, the specific content and manifestations of the strategies and tactics for people’s war have continuously evolved. To confront the challenges of information-based and intelligent warfare, we must firmly grasp the essential requirements and value orientations of the strategies and tactics for people’s war amidst the rapidly evolving global trends and practices, unifying the inherently unchanging laws of conduct with the external realities of change, and continuously innovating and developing the strategies and tactics for people’s war in the new era.

President Xi Jinping emphasized that no matter how the situation develops, the magic weapon of people’s war must never be lost. However, we must grasp the new characteristics and new requirements of people’s war in the new era, innovate its content, methods and approaches, and unleash its overall power. Currently, facing profound challenges brought about by changes in science and technology, warfare, and our adversaries, we must not only inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of people’s war, but also be sensitive to changes, actively respond to them, and proactively seek change. We must accurately grasp the inherent requirements of the strategies and tactics of people’s war in the new era, consciously update our thinking and concepts, and innovate strategic guidance, so that this magic weapon of defeating the enemy can be demonstrated on future battlefields.

Adhere to relying on the people and deeply rooted

In the long practice of revolutionary war, the people are the most profound force for victory. The people are the primary force behind the strategies and tactics of people’s war, a magic weapon for victory. People’s war has its roots deeply rooted in the people, and its confidence comes from the people. Regardless of how the times change or how the war evolves, relying closely on the people and fully mobilizing them will always be the fundamental condition and the only way to carry out people’s war. Developing the strategies and tactics of people’s war in the new era requires adhering to the mass perspective of history and the fundamental requirement that soldiers and civilians are the foundation of victory. We must integrate the traditional strategic advantages of people’s war with the mass line, broaden the sources of vitality for the strategies and tactics of people’s war, draw strategic wisdom and tactical methods from the people, and develop an intellectual advantage for people’s war in the new era. We must solidly carry out national defense education throughout the nation, continuously foster a strong sense of patriotism, inspire patriotism, strengthen awareness of potential dangers, and enhance national defense awareness. We must guide the masses to actively care about and support national defense, thereby infusing powerful spiritual strength into people’s war in the new era. We must focus on promoting high-quality population development, comprehensively improve the cultural, scientific, and innovative qualities of the entire population, accelerate the development of a modern human resource base of high quality, sufficient in volume, optimized in structure, and rationally distributed, and promote the shift of the dominant force in people’s war from quantitative to qualitative. Further improve the national defense mobilization system and mechanism, promote the establishment of a rapid response system that is connected with the national emergency response mechanism and integrated with the joint combat system, fully tap and gather the unlimited war potential contained in the people, and give full play to the resource aggregation and value-added effect.

Focus on overall planning and full-area offense and defense

In the long-term practice of revolutionary warfare, the strategies and tactics of people’s war require the comprehensive mobilization of diverse forces and resources in the political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and military sectors, and the integrated use of various forms of struggle and methods of operation. This holistic approach compensates for local deficiencies and disadvantages, ultimately defeating powerful adversaries. Modern warfare is not only a fierce confrontation in the military sphere, but also a comprehensive struggle in the political, economic, and diplomatic spheres, exhibiting the distinct characteristics of hybrid warfare. To develop the strategies and tactics of people’s war in the new era, we must establish a broad systemic mindset, relying on the national strategic system and supported by the joint operations system, explore the implementation methods of people’s war strategies and tactics, and win the total war of people’s war in the new era. We should fully leverage the advantages of the new national system, relying on the integrated national strategic system and capabilities, efficiently aggregate superior resources across the board, fully activate the country’s national defense potential, and weave various forces and resources into a network. We should integrate and plan the subsystems of people’s war, including leadership, organization, personnel, command, technology, equipment, and support, to maximize the effectiveness of holistic linkage and systemic operation, and achieve the maximum benefits of all-round effort and multiplied energy. We must strengthen comprehensive coordination across the physical, information, and social domains, focusing on seeking breakthroughs in new domains and new qualities, and making achievements in new dimensions such as unmanned warfare, human-machine collaborative warfare, network and electronic warfare, space and deep-sea warfare, and intelligent and autonomous warfare. Military and non-military means must be coordinated, integrating various forms of struggle, including political, economic, diplomatic, public opinion, and military. Comprehensive measures must be implemented to effectively wage diplomatic offensive and defensive battles, financial and trade battles, psychological defense battles, and public opinion and legal battles. We must leverage the combined effectiveness of political offensives and armed strikes to effectively fight the political and military battles.

Strengthen active defense and take the initiative

Through the long practice of revolutionary warfare, the People’s Army has developed a comprehensive strategic philosophy of active defense, emphasizing, for example, the unity of strategic defense and offensive action in campaigns and battles, the principles of defense, self-defense, and preemptive strike, and the principle of “if no one offends me, I will not offend; if someone offends me, I will certainly offend.” Active defense is fundamentally defensive, its essence lies in activeness, and its inherent characteristic is proactiveness. Currently, profound changes have taken place in the international, national, and Party, military, and political landscapes. The strategies and tactics of people’s war in the new era generally adhere to the fundamental principle of defense and are not aimed at hegemony, aggression, or oppression of other countries. Consequently, they will win the support and endorsement of the vast majority of the Chinese people, as well as the understanding and assistance of peace-loving and justice-loving countries and peoples around the world. Developing the strategies and tactics of people’s war in the new era must adapt to the times and circumstances. We must adhere to a defensive national defense policy, implement the military strategic guidelines of the new era, excel at observing and analyzing issues from a political perspective, and be adept at considering and applying strategies from regional and global perspectives to consolidate the political foundation for victory in people’s war. We must persist in neither provoking trouble nor fearing it, strengthen the regular and diversified use of military force, firmly and flexibly carry out military struggle, and while adhering to the strategic preemptive strike, we must not give up campaign and combat offensives under favorable conditions and when necessary. We must advance steadily, make progress within stability, and be proactive within stability, effectively shape the security situation, contain crises and conflicts, and firmly grasp the initiative in the struggle.

Highlight new quality dominance and technological empowerment

In the long practice of revolutionary warfare, while emphasizing that victory in war is primarily determined by people, not objects, the People’s Army has also placed great emphasis on the research and development of advanced military technology, particularly weaponry. Comrade Mao Zedong once emphasized that without modern equipment, it would be impossible to defeat the armies of imperialism. The technological content of modern warfare has undergone a qualitative leap, with advanced technologies and new weaponry such as artificial intelligence, big data, quantum computing, unmanned aerial vehicles, and brain control being widely applied in the military. While the people remain the decisive force in determining victory in war, the manifestation of this power has undergone significant changes. Science and technology are core combat power, and People’s War will place greater emphasis on the application of scientific and technological means and rely even more heavily on the wisdom and creativity of the people. Developing the strategies and tactics of People’s War in the new era should prioritize winning information-based and intelligent warfare. We should deeply study the essential characteristics, winning mechanisms, and strategies and tactics of high-end warfare, accelerate the shift from “winning by numbers” to “winning by talent,” and from “winning by manpower” to “winning by intelligence,” effectively enhance our ability to win through scientific and technological empowerment and digital intelligence, and truly unleash the crucial role of science and technology and talent in People’s War in the new era. We will accelerate the development of high-tech industries, vigorously strengthen the construction of new forces in new domains such as ocean, space, cyberspace, artificial intelligence, and quantum technology, increase military-civilian collaboration in high-tech fields, accelerate the transformation and application of new productive forces into new combat capabilities, and promote the expansion of war potential reserves into emerging fields and the focus on new forces. We will integrate and coordinate military and civilian scientific and technological advantages, shifting the focus from traditional support and guarantee elements such as human and material resources to new support and guarantee elements such as information, technology, and intelligence. We will build information, resource, and technology pools with profound foundations and rich reserves, actively cultivate capable, strong, and professional professional support units, and continuously expand the breadth and depth of people’s participation in the war and scientific and technological support.

Emphasis on flexibility, maneuverability, innovation and checks and balances

In the long-term practice of revolutionary warfare, the strategies and tactics of People’s War are highly flexible and maneuverable. Their most essential requirement is to prioritize self-reliance, attacking the enemy without being attacked by them. Based on the actual situation of both sides, we fight the battles based on our weapons, against the enemy, and at the right time and place. We identify the enemy’s weaknesses and vulnerabilities, leverage our strengths and advantages, and defeat the enemy with our own strengths, always seizing the initiative on the battlefield. Flexible and maneuverable strategies and tactics are the magic weapon for defeating an enemy with superior equipment with inferior equipment. “You fight yours, I fight mine” is a summary and generalization of the long-term experience of China’s revolutionary war and the soul and essence of the strategies and tactics of People’s War. Developing the strategies and tactics of People’s War in the new era must grasp the methodological requirements of asymmetric checks and balances, leverage innovative operational concepts, adhere to the mechanisms of victory in modern warfare, and continuously develop practical and effective tactics to defeat the enemy. We must proceed from the actual circumstances of both sides, gaining a deep understanding of operational missions, adversaries, and the evolving operational environment. We must thoroughly grasp the concepts, elements, and methods of victory, objectively analyze and study the strengths and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages of both sides, know the enemy and ourselves, adapt to the situation, and flexibly utilize various combat forces and methods, striving to achieve maximum results at the lowest cost. We must adhere to the principle of “attacking the enemy without being attacked by them,” capitalize on strengths and avoid weaknesses, avoid the real and attack the weak, attack where the enemy is least prepared, and attack where they must be defended. We must proactively create opportunities, flexibly maneuver the enemy, and fight wherever we are most advantageous and wherever we are most skilled. We must adhere to the principle of “using what we can to defeat what we cannot,” advancing the research and application of military theory, operational guidance, tactics, and training methods in a timely manner, innovating core operational concepts, and developing new types of combat methods. We must fight against the enemy’s tactics, targeting their weaknesses, and leveraging our military’s strengths, thus creating new winning advantages in people’s war through asymmetric checks and balances.

Emphasis on accumulating small things into big things and focusing on unity of purpose

Throughout the long practice of revolutionary warfare, our army has been at an overall disadvantage for considerable periods. Therefore, the strategies and tactics of people’s war emphasize leveraging strength against weakness locally, persisting in accumulating small victories into larger ones, and concentrating forces to wage annihilation campaigns. This has become a key strategy for the people’s army to defeat powerful foes. Compared to previous eras, modern warfare often unfolds across multiple dimensions and domains, providing greater scope for implementing this strategy of “accumulating small victories into larger ones.” Developing the strategies and tactics of people’s war in the new era requires strengthening the concept of “dispersed in appearance, yet focused in spirit; dispersed in form, yet united in strength.” This involves dynamically consolidating and uniting the numerous combat forces distributed across the multidimensional battlefield. Through the fusion of capabilities and immediate optimization, we can launch rapid localized focused-energy attacks, wide-area guerrilla harassment, and deliver annihilating and destructive strikes against key enemy locations. This not only creates a hammering effect, but also continuously wears down the enemy, gradually depriving them of the initiative on the battlefield. This highly integrated distributed warfare emphasizes the wide-area dispersion of troop deployment and the discrete distribution of capabilities. Based on the needs of achieving operational intent, objectives, and missions, it prioritizes the best operational elements, units, and forces. Through the integration of operational capabilities and the accumulation of operational impacts, it aggregates optimal operational effects, unleashes maximum operational potential, maximizes operational effectiveness, and achieves optimal operational results. This distributed warfare has evolved from “geographical dispersion” to “dynamic coupling across all domains and dimensions”: no longer limited to the physical dispersion of personnel and equipment, it extends to multi-dimensional battlefields such as cyber, electromagnetic, and cognitive. Relying on data links, artificial intelligence, and distributed command systems to achieve cross-domain collaboration, it significantly enhances battlefield survivability and multiplies strike effectiveness.

回望輝煌戰鬥歷程,人民軍隊始終堅持在黨的絕對領導下,提出並實施了一整套人民戰爭戰略戰術,這是人民軍隊以弱勝強、克敵制勝的重要法寶。 98年來,隨著時代變遷和戰爭形態演變,人民戰爭戰略戰術的具體內容和表現形式不斷發展變化。直面資訊化智慧化戰爭挑戰,我們要在快速變化發展的世界大勢和實踐樣態中,牢牢把握人民戰爭戰略戰術的本質要求和價值取向,把內在不變的規律性特徵與外在變化的現實性特徵統一起來,不斷創新發展新時代人民戰爭戰略戰術。

習主席強調指出,無論形勢如何發展,人民戰爭這個法寶永遠不能丟,但要把握新的時代條件下人民戰爭的新特點新要求,創新內容和方式方法,充分發揮人民戰爭的整體威力。當前,面對科技之變、戰爭之變、對手之變帶來的深刻挑戰,我們既要繼承發揚人民戰爭優良傳統,也要敏銳識變、積極應變、主動求變,準確把握新時代人民戰爭戰略戰術內在要求,自覺更新思維理念,創新戰略指導,讓克敵制勝的法寶顯威未來戰場。

堅持依靠人民、深根基

在長期革命戰爭實踐中,人民群眾是戰爭勝利最深厚的偉力。人民戰爭戰略戰術,人民是構成這一制勝法寶的主體,人民戰爭的根基深植於人民、底氣來自於人民,無論時代如何發展、戰爭如何演進,緊緊依靠人民、充分動員群眾,永遠是開展人民戰爭的基礎條件和不二法門。新時代條件下發展人民戰爭戰略戰術,必須堅持群眾史觀和兵民是勝利之本的根本要求,把人民戰爭的傳統謀略優勢和群眾路線結合起來,拓展人民戰爭戰略戰術的源頭活水,從人民群眾中汲取戰略智慧和策略方法,形成新時代人民戰爭的智力優勢。札實開展全民防衛教育,不斷厚植家國情懷,激發愛國動力,強化憂患意識,增強國防觀念,引導廣大群眾主動關心國防事業、支持國防建設,為新時代人民戰爭注入強大精神力量。聚力推進人口高品質發展,全面提升全民文化素質、科技素質和創新能力,加速塑造素質優良、總量充裕、結構優化、分佈合理的現代化人力資源,推動人民戰爭主體由數量優勢向質量優勢轉變。進一步完善國防動員體制機制,推動建立與國家應急響應機制相銜接、與聯合作戰體系相融合的快速響應制度,把內含於人民群眾中的無限戰爭潛力充分挖掘出來、聚攏起來,充分發揮資源集聚增值效應。

注重整體運籌、全域攻防

在長期革命戰爭實踐中,人民戰爭戰略戰術要求整體動員政治、經濟、文化、外交、軍事等多方面的力量資源,綜合運用多種鬥爭形式和作戰方式,以整體合力彌補局部的不足和劣勢,從而戰勝強大對手。現代戰爭既是軍事領域的激烈對抗,也是政治、經濟、外交等領域的全面角力,整體呈現混合戰爭的鮮明特徵。新時代條件下發展人民戰爭戰略戰術,必須確立大體系思維模式,以國家戰略體係為依托,以聯合作戰體係為支撐,探索人民戰爭戰略戰術的實現形式,打贏新時代人民戰爭總體戰。應充分發揮新型舉國體制優勢,依託一體化國家戰略體系與能力,高效能聚合全域優勢資源,全方位激活國家國防潛力,將各種力量資源擰線成繩、結繩成網,把人民戰爭的領導要素、組織要素、人員要素、指揮要素、技術要素、裝備要素、保障要素等分系統結合起來,統合、統合方式要加強物理域、資訊域、社會域等領域全面統籌,重點在新域新質上尋求突破,在無人作戰、人機協同作戰、網電作戰、太空深海作戰、智慧自主作戰等新維度有所作為。軍事與非軍事手段相互配合,把政治、經濟、外交、輿論和軍事鬥爭等多種形式結合起來,綜合施策著力打好外交攻防戰、金融貿易戰、心理防護戰、輿論法理戰等,發揮政治攻勢和武裝打擊的綜合效能,統籌打好政治軍事仗。

強化積極防禦、主動進取

在長期革命戰爭實踐中,人民軍隊形成了一整套積極防禦戰略思想,如堅持戰略上防禦與戰役戰斗上進攻的統一,堅持防禦、自衛、後發製人的原則,堅持“人不犯我,我不犯人;人若犯我,我必犯人”,等等。積極防禦,根本在防禦、要義在積極,主動進取是其內在特質。當前,世情國情黨情軍情發生深刻變化,新時代人民戰爭的戰略戰術在總體上堅持防禦性的根本原則,不以霸道霸權和侵略欺壓他國為目的,因此也會贏得國內最廣大人民群眾擁護和支持以及世界上愛好和平與正義的國家和人民的理解和幫助。新時代條件下發展人民戰爭戰略戰術,須應時而變、應勢而動。堅持奉行防禦性國防政策,貫徹落實新時代軍事戰略方針,善於從政治高度出發觀察和分析問題,善於從地區和全球視角來思考和運用策略,夯實人民戰爭制勝的政治基礎。堅持不惹事也不怕事,加強軍事力量常態化多樣化運用,堅定靈活開展軍事鬥爭,在堅持戰略上後發製人的同時,不放棄有利條件下和必要時的戰役戰鬥進攻,穩紮穩打、穩中有進、穩中有為,有效塑造安全態勢,遏止危機沖突,牢牢把握爭鬥主動權。

突顯新質主導、科技賦能

在長期革命戰爭實踐中,人民軍隊在強調決定戰爭勝負的主要因素是人而不是物的同時,同樣高度重視對先進軍事技術特別是武器裝備的研發。毛澤東同志就曾強調,沒有現代的裝備,要戰勝帝國主義的軍隊是不可能的。現代戰爭的科技含量發生了質的飛躍,人工智慧、大數據、量子計算、無人自主、腦控等高新技術與新型武器裝備廣泛應用於軍事領域。雖然人民群眾依然是戰爭勝負的決定性力量,但是這種力量的表現形式發生了重要變化。科技是核心戰鬥力,人民戰爭將更重視科技手段的運用,更依賴人民群眾的智慧和創造力。新時代條件下發展人民戰爭戰略戰術,應把打贏資訊化智能化戰爭作為戰爭準備的著眼點,深研高端戰爭的本質特徵、制勝機理、戰略戰法,加速推動從「人多製勝」向「人才制勝」、從「人力製勝」向「智力製勝」轉變,切實提高新科技賦能、數智者發揮勝利能力、數智性的科技人才、新人民主義中的關鍵人民發揮作用。加速推進高新產業發展,大力加強海洋、太空、網路空間、人工智慧、量子科技等新域新質力量建設,加大高新技術領域軍地協作力度,加速新質生產力向新質戰鬥力轉化運用,推動戰爭潛力儲備向新興領域拓展、向新質力量聚焦。聚合協同軍地科技優勢,由聚焦人力物力等傳統支撐保障要素向聚焦資訊、技術、智慧等新質支撐保障要素轉變,建設底蘊深厚、儲備豐富的資訊池、資源池、技術池,積極打造精幹強能、專業性強的專業支前分隊,不斷拓展人民參戰與科技支前的廣度與深度。

講究靈活機動、創新制衡

在長期革命戰爭實踐中,人民戰爭戰略戰術是高度靈活機動的戰略戰術,最本質的要求是堅持以我為主,致人而不致於人,根據敵我雙方的實際情況,有什麼武器打什麼仗,對什麼敵人打什麼仗,在什麼時間地點打什麼時間地點的仗,找準敵之弱點和軟肋,發揚我之長主動和優勢,能永遠不能掌握戰場。靈活機動的戰略戰術是以劣勢裝備戰勝優勢裝備之敵的致勝法寶。 “你打你的、我打我的”,是中國革命戰爭長期經驗的總結和概括,是人民戰爭戰略戰術的靈魂和精髓。新時代條件下發展人民戰爭戰略戰術,必須掌握非對稱制衡的方法論要求,以作戰概念創新為抓手,遵循現代戰爭制勝機理,不斷推出實用管用的克敵制勝招法。堅持一切從敵我雙方的實際情況出發,深刻洞悉作戰任務、作戰對手、作戰環境變化,深刻把握制勝觀念、制勝要素、制勝方式發展,客觀分析研究敵我雙方的強弱、優劣,知彼知己、因勢而變,靈活運用各種作戰力量和作戰方法,努力以最小代價取得最大戰果。堅持“致人而不致於人”,揚長避短、避實就虛,出其不趨、攻其必救,主動創造戰機,靈活調動敵人,怎麼有利就怎麼打,怎麼擅長就怎麼打。堅持“以能擊不能”,與時俱進推進軍事理論、作戰指導、戰法訓法研究運用,創新核心作戰概念,發展新質作戰手段,不按敵人套路打、盯著敵人軟肋打、發揮我軍優長打,在非對稱制衡中創造人民戰爭新的製勝優勢。

重視積小為大、神聚力合

在長期革命戰爭實踐中,我軍在相當長的時間內都是處於全局上的劣勢地位,所以人民戰爭戰略戰術重視局部上以強對弱,堅持積小勝為大勝,集中力量打殲滅戰,這成為人民軍隊戰勝強敵的關鍵一招。相較於以往,現代戰爭作戰往往在多維多域中展開,為實施「積小勝為大勝」提供了更加廣闊空間。新時代條件下發展人民戰爭戰略戰術,要強化「貌散而神聚,形散而力合」的理念,將分佈在多維戰場的諸多作戰力量動態集中聯合起來,通過效能融合、即時聚優,實施局部快速聚能攻擊、廣域遊擊襲擾,對敵分佈的要點實施殲這種神聚力合的分散式作戰更強調兵力部署廣域分散、能力狀態離散分佈,根據實現作戰企圖、達成作戰目的、遂行作戰任務需要,優選最佳作戰要素、單元、力量,通過作戰能力融合、行動作用累積,聚合最優作戰效應,激發最大作戰潛能,實現作戰效益最大化,達成最佳作戰效果。這種分散式作戰已經從「地理空間的分散」上升為「全局全維的動態耦合」:不再局限於人員裝備在物理空間的分散,而是拓展到網絡、電磁、認知等多維戰場;依託數據鏈、人工智能和分佈式指揮系統實現跨域協同,既極大提升了戰場生存力,又倍增了打擊效能。

Military Intelligence Drives Accelerated Development of Chinese Army Cyberspace Operations

軍事情報推動中國軍隊網路空間作戰加速發展

現代英語:

The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out that it is necessary to “accelerate the development of military intelligence and improve joint combat capabilities and all-region combat capabilities based on network information systems”. Today’s “Liberation Army Daily” published an article pointing out that military intelligence is a new trend and new direction in the development of the military field after mechanization and informatization. We must develop intelligence on the basis of existing mechanization and informatization, and at the same time use intelligence to Traction mechanization and informatization to develop to a higher level and at a higher level. As a new combat field, cyberspace is a new field with high technological content and the most innovative vitality. Driven by military intelligence, it is ushering in a period of rapid development opportunities.

Military intelligence leads to accelerated development of cyberspace operations

■Respect the soldiers Zhou Dewang and Huang Anwei

Three major technologies support the intelligence of cyberspace weapons

Intelligence is a kind of wisdom and ability. It is the induction, cognition and application of laws by all systems with a life cycle. Intelligence is to solidify this wisdom and ability and become a state. A cyberspace weapon is a weapon used in cyberspace to carry out combat missions. Its form is dominated by software and code, and it is essentially a piece of data. The intelligence of cyberspace weapons is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:

First, intelligent vulnerability mining. Vulnerabilities are the basis for the design of cyber weapons. The ransomware that spread around the world in May this year took advantage of vulnerabilities in Microsoft’s operating system and caused a huge shock to the cybersecurity community. Vulnerabilities are expensive, ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a zero-day. The discovery of previous vulnerabilities mainly relied on experienced hackers, who used software tools to check and analyze the code. In the finals of the International Cybersecurity Technology Competition League held during this year’s China Internet Security Conference, participants demonstrated that intelligent robots conduct vulnerability mining on site, and then write network code through vulnerabilities to form cyber weapons, break through target systems, and seize flags. This change means that vulnerability mining has entered an era of intelligence.

Second, intelligent signal analysis and password deciphering. Signals are the carrier of network data transmission, and passwords are the last barrier to network data security. Signal analysis and password deciphering are core technologies for cyberspace operations. Breaking through signals and passwords is the basic path into cyberspace and the primary target of cyber weapon attacks. Intelligent signal analysis solves problems such as protocol analysis, modulation recognition, and individual recognition of signals through big data, cloud computing, deep learning and other technologies. Code-breaking is computational science “the crown jewel”. Through the accumulation of password data samples, intelligent code-breaking can continuously learn and find patterns, and can find the key to deciphering, thereby opening the last door of network data “safe” and solving network problems. Key links of intrusion and access.

Third, the design of an intelligent weapons platform. The U.S. military proposed the “Cyber Aircraft” project in 2009 to provide platforms such as tanks, ships, and aircraft for cyberspace operations. It can realize automatic reconnaissance, loading of cyber weapons, autonomous coordination, and autonomous attacks in cyberspace. When threatened, Self-destruction and removal of traces have certain intelligent characteristics. The weapons loaded by future “cyber aircraft” are not code compiled by software personnel, but directly based on the reconnaissance results to design intelligent cyber weapons on site in real time and achieve “ordered” development, thus greatly improving cyberspace operations. Targeted.

The intelligent trend of network-controlled weapons has become increasingly prominent

Weapons controlled by cyberspace are referred to as cyber-controlled weapons. They are weapons that connect through the network, accept cyberspace instructions, perform cross-domain tasks, and achieve combat effects in physical space. Most of the various combat weapons platforms in the future will be networked weapons platforms. In this way, the military information network is essentially the Internet of Things. Network entities such as uplink satellites, radars, and drones can detect, track, locate, and strike through the Internet. Space control, the intelligence of network-controlled weapons has flourished in battlefields such as land, sea, air, space and electricity.

In 2015, Syria used the Russian Robot Corps to defeat militants. The operation used 6 tracked robots, 4 wheeled robots, 1 automated artillery group, several drones and 1 command system. The commander dispatches drone reconnaissance through the chain of command to spot the militants, and the robots charge the militants, while accompanied by artillery and drone attack force support, delivering a fatal blow to the militants. It was only a small-scale battle, but it set the precedent for robot “group” operations.

Network-controlled intelligent weapons for sea and air battlefields are being developed and verified in large quantities. In 2014, the U.S. Navy used 13 unmanned surface boats to demonstrate and verify that unmanned boat groups intercepted enemy ships and achieved good results mainly by exchanging sensor data. When it was tested again in 2016, functions such as collaborative task allocation and tactical coordination were added, and “swarm awareness” became a distinctive feature of its intelligence.

Swarms of small and micro UAVs for aerial combat are also growing rapidly. In recent years, the U.S. Department of Defense has repeatedly tested the “Quail” micro-drone, which can drop dozens or even hundreds at a time. By improving its coordination capabilities when performing reconnaissance missions, it has made great progress in drone formation, command, control, and intelligence. Progress has been made in management and other aspects.

Space-based cyber-controlled weapons are becoming more and more “smart”. The air and space field mainly contains two types of network-controlled weapons: reconnaissance and strike. Satellites with various functions mainly perform reconnaissance missions and are typical reconnaissance sensors. With the emergence of various small and microsatellite groups, satellites have been made to exhibit new characteristics: small size, fast launch, large number, and greater intelligence. Small and microsatellite groups have greater flexibility and reliability when performing reconnaissance and communication missions, and currently the world’s satellite powers are actively developing plans for small and microsatellite groups with wider coverage.

Hypersonic strike weapons of all kinds cruised in the air and space, as if sharp swords were hanging over people’s heads. The U.S. Air Force Research Office stated that “high-speed strike weapons” will launch flight tests around 2018, and other countries are also actively developing similar weapons. The biggest features of this type of weapon are their high speed, long range, and high intelligence.

Intelligent command information system changes traditional combat command methods

Cyberspace weapons and weapons controlled by cyberspace are the “fist” of intelligent warfare, and the command information system that directs the use of these weapons is the “brain” of intelligent warfare. Cyberspace combat command information systems must keep up with intelligence simultaneously. process. At present, almost all command information systems in the world are facing the difficult problem of “intelligent lag”. In future wars, rapid decision-making and autonomous decision-making are required, which places higher requirements on intelligent auxiliary systems.

In 2007, the U.S. Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency launched a research and development program on command and control systems ——“Project Dark Green” in order to enable computer-aided commanders to make rapid decisions and win opportunities. This is a campaign tactical-level command information system. Its research and development purpose is to embed the system into the U.S. Army brigade-level C4ISR wartime command information system to achieve intelligent command of commanders. To this day, the U.S. military has not relaxed its development of intelligent command information systems.

In cyberspace operations, the network target appears as an IP address connected to the network. The large number makes it difficult for manual operations to operate efficiently, and operations require the auxiliary support of intelligent command information systems. Currently, intelligent command information systems need to realize functions such as intelligent intelligence analysis, intelligent perception, intelligent navigation and positioning, intelligent assisted decision-making, intelligent collaboration, intelligent evaluation, and intelligent unmanned combat, especially to realize cluster combat control of unmanned network control systems, which has put forward urgent needs for intelligent command information systems and requires accelerating the research and development and application of corresponding key technologies.

To sum up, intelligent cyber weapons and cyber-controlled weapons, through intelligent information system scheduling, will form huge combat capabilities and can basically carry out all actions in the current combat style. In future wars, from the formation of command forces, to target selection, mode of action, use of tactics, etc., will all be carried out in an intelligent context. The characteristics of war “gamification” will be more significant, and the combat command method will also undergo major changes.

In the future battlefield, fighting courage requires more fighting “wisdom”

■Yang Jian and Zhao Lu

At present, the development of artificial intelligence has entered a new stage, and its penetration into various fields has begun to accelerate. As a result of this process, military competition among nations around intelligence has begun. Our army has always been a heroic and tenacious people’s army that dares to fight and win. In the future, we should continue to carry forward the glorious tradition on the battlefield. At the same time, we must more extensively master and utilize the latest scientific and technological achievements, develop more intelligent weapons and equipment, and develop more intelligent weapons and equipment. Take advantage of the opportunity to win on the battlefield.

Intelligence is a trend in the development of human society, and the war on intelligence is accelerating. It is thanks to successful innovations that go beyond the original architectural computing models, the gradual popularization of nanofabrication technologies, and breakthrough advances in the study of human brain mechanisms that the development of military intelligence has acquired a solid foundation. As a result, intelligent weapons and equipment have become increasingly prominent and are beginning to surpass and replace humans in intelligence analysis, combat response, and more. In addition, in terms of manpower requirements, comprehensive support and operating costs, intelligent weapons and equipment also have obvious advantages and are increasingly becoming the dominant force in warfare.

It has been proven that the development and application of intelligent weapons and equipment has expanded the scope of capabilities for military operations and greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the troops. On the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, UAVs have taken on most of the operational support tasks of reconnaissance, intelligence, surveillance, and about one-third of the air strike tasks. In the past two years, Russia has also repeatedly used unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, combat robots and other equipment with a high degree of intelligence on the Syrian battlefield. Intelligent weapons and equipment are increasingly demonstrating important values that go beyond traditional weapons.

In future wars, the competition for intelligent combat systems will be the key to victory in master battles and peak duels. With the increasing imbalance in the development of military means supported by science and technology, whoever has the ability to implement intelligent operations first will be better able to take the initiative on the battlefield. The strong with the advantage of technological generation will try their best to The cost of war is minimized, while the weak will inevitably suffer huge losses and pay heavy prices. We must not only step up core technological innovation and weapons and equipment development, but also study and explore organizational structures, command methods and application models that adapt to the intelligent development of the military. We must also cultivate a team that can take on the responsibility of promoting the intelligent development of the military and forging intelligent combat capabilities. Talent team, give full play to the overall effectiveness of our military’s combat system, and compete with our opponents Win wars in a more “intelligent” way.

黨的十九大報告指出,要「加速軍事智慧化發展,提升基於網路資訊體系的聯合作戰能力、全域作戰能力」。今天的《解放軍報》刊發文章指出,軍事智能化是機械化、資訊化之後軍事領域發展的新趨勢和新方向,我們要在現有機械化和資訊化基礎上發展智能化,同時用智能化牽引機械化和信息化向更高水平、更高層次發展。網路空間作為新型作戰領域,是科技含量高、最具創新活力的新領域,在軍事智慧化的牽引下,正迎來快速發展的機會期。

軍事智慧化牽引網路空間作戰加速發展

■敬兵 週德旺 皇安偉

三大技術支撐網路空間武器智慧化

智能是一種智慧和能力,是一切有生命週期的系統對規律的感應、認知與運用,智能化就是把這種智慧和能力固化下來,成為一種狀態。網路空間武器是網路空間遂行作戰任務的武器,其形態以軟體和程式碼為主,本質上是一段資料。網路空間武器的智慧化主要體現在以下三個方面:

一是智慧化漏洞挖掘。漏洞是網路武器設計的基礎,今年5月在全球傳播的勒索病毒軟體,就是利用了微軟作業系統漏洞,為網路安全界帶來了巨大震動。漏洞價格昂貴,零日漏洞價值幾萬到幾十萬美元不等。過去漏洞的發現,主要依靠有經驗的駭客,利用軟體工具對程式碼進行檢查和分析。今年中國網路安全大會期間舉辦的國際網路安全技術對抗聯賽總決賽中,參賽人員示範由智慧機器人現場進行漏洞挖掘,然後透過漏洞編寫網路程式碼,形成網路武器,攻破目標系統,奪取旗幟。這項變化,意味著漏洞挖掘進入了智慧化時代。

二是智能化訊號分析和密碼破譯。訊號是網路資料傳輸的載體,密碼是網路資料安全的最後屏障,訊號分析和密碼破解是網路空間作戰的核心技術,突破訊號和密碼是進入網路空間的基本路徑,也是網路武器攻擊的首要目標。智慧化訊號分析將訊號的協定分析、調變辨識、個體辨識等問題,透過大數據、雲端運算、深度學習等技術來解決。密碼破解是計算科學“皇冠上的明珠”,智能化密碼破譯通過對密碼數據樣本的積累,不斷學習、尋找規律,能找到破譯的鑰匙,從而打開網絡數據“保險櫃”的最後一扇門,解決網絡入侵和接入的關鍵環節。

三是智慧化武器平台設計。美軍在2009年提出「網路飛行器」項目,為網路空間作戰提供像戰車、艦艇、飛機這樣的平台,可以實現在網路空間裡自動偵察、載入網路武器、自主協同、自主攻擊,受到威脅時自我銷毀、清除痕跡,具備了一定的智慧化特徵。未來「網路飛行器」載入的武器,不是軟體人員編好的程式碼,而是根據偵察結果直接對發現的漏洞,現場即時進行智慧化網路武器設計,實現「訂購式」開發,從而大大提高網路空間作戰的針對性。

網控武器的智慧化趨勢愈加凸顯

受網路空間控制的武器簡稱網路武器,是透過網路連接,接受網路空間指令,執行跨域任務,在實體空間達成作戰效果的武器。未來的各種作戰武器平台,大多是聯網的武器平台,這樣軍事資訊網本質上就是物聯網,上聯衛星、雷達、無人機等網路實體,從感知到發現、追蹤、定位、打擊都可透過網路空間控制,網控武器的智慧化已在陸海空天電等戰場蓬勃發展。

2015年,敘利亞利用俄羅斯機器人軍團擊潰武裝分子,行動採用了包括6個履帶式機器人、4個輪式機器人、1個自動化火砲群、數架無人機和1套指揮系統。指揮官透過指揮系統調度無人機偵察發現武裝分子,機器人向武裝分子發動衝鋒,同時伴隨火砲和無人機攻擊力量支援,對武裝分子進行了致命打擊。這只是一場小規模的戰鬥,卻開啟了機器人「組團」作戰的先河。

海空戰場網控智慧武器正在大量研發驗證。 2014年,美國海軍使用13艘無人水面艇,示範驗證無人艇集群攔截敵方艦艇,主要透過交換感測器數據,取得了不錯的效果。 2016年再次試驗時,新增了協同任務分配、戰術配合等功能,「蜂群意識」成為其智慧化的顯著特徵。

用於空中作戰的小微型無人機蜂群也正在快速發展。近年來,美國國防部多次試驗「山銻」微型無人機,可一次投放數十架乃至上百架,透過提升其執行偵察任務時的協同能力,在無人機編隊、指揮、控制、智慧化管理等方面都取得了進展。

空天網控武器越來越「聰明」。空天領域主要包含偵察和打擊兩類網控武器,各種功能的衛星主要執行偵察任務,是典型的偵察感測器。隨著各種小微衛星群的出現,使衛星表現出新的特徵:體積小、發射快、數量多、更聰明。小微衛星群在執行偵察和通訊任務時,有了更大的彈性和可靠性,目前世界衛星強國都在積極制定覆蓋範圍更廣的小微衛星群計畫。

各種高超音速打擊武器在空天巡航,彷彿懸在人們頭頂的利劍。美國空軍研究室稱「高速打擊武器」將在2018年前後啟動飛行試驗,其它各國也正積極研發類似武器。這類武器最大的特色是速度快、航程遠、智能化程度高。

智慧化指揮資訊系統改變傳統作戰指揮方式

網路空間武器和受網路空間控制的武器,是智慧化戰爭的“拳頭”,而指揮這些武器運用的指揮資訊系統是智慧化戰爭的“大腦”,網路空間作戰指揮資訊系統要同步跟上智慧化的進程。目前,幾乎全球的指揮資訊系統都面臨著「智慧滯後」的難題,未來戰爭需要快速決策、自主決策,這對智慧輔助系統提出了更高要求。

2007年,美國國防部高級研究計劃局啟動關於指揮控制系統的研發計劃——“深綠色計劃”,以期能實現計算機輔助指揮官快速決策贏得制勝先機。這是一個戰役戰術級的指揮資訊系統,其研發目的是將該系統嵌入美國陸軍旅級C4ISR戰時指揮資訊系統中去,實現指揮官的智慧化指揮。直到今天,美軍也沒有放鬆對智慧化指揮資訊系統的發展。

在網路空間作戰中,網路目標表現為一個接取網路的IP位址,數量眾多導致人工難以有效率操作,作戰更需要智慧化指揮資訊系統的輔助支撐。目前,智慧化指揮資訊系統需要實現智慧情報分析、智慧感知、智慧導航定位、智慧輔助決策、智慧協同、智慧評估、智慧化無人作戰等功能,尤其是實現對無人網控系統的集群作戰操控,這都對智慧化指揮資訊系統提出了迫切需求,需要加快相應關鍵技術的研發和運用。

綜上所述,智慧化的網路武器和網路控制武器,透過智慧化的資訊系統調度,將形成巨大的作戰能力,基本能遂行現行作戰樣式中的所有行動。未來戰爭,從指揮力量編組、到目標選擇、行動方式、戰法運用等,都將在智能化的背景下展開,戰爭「遊戲化」的特徵將更顯著,作戰指揮方式也將發生重大變化。

未來戰場 鬥勇更需鬥“智”

■楊建 趙璐

目前,人工智慧發展進入嶄新階段,並開始向各個領域加速滲透。受此一進程的影響,各國圍繞智慧化的軍事競爭已揭開序幕。我軍歷來是一支英勇頑強、敢打必勝的人民軍隊,未來戰場上應繼續發揚光榮傳統,同時要更加廣泛地掌握和利用最新的科技成果,研製出更多智能化的武器裝備,在未來戰場上掌握制勝先機。

智慧化是人類社會發展的趨勢,智慧化戰爭正加速到來。正是由於超越原有體系結構計算模型的成功創新、奈米製造技術的逐步普及,以及對人腦機制研究的突破性進展,軍事智慧化發展才擁有了堅實的基礎。因此,智慧化武器裝備的表現日益突出,並在情報分析、戰鬥反應等方面開始超越並取代人類。此外,在人力需求、綜合保障、運作成本等方面,智慧化武器裝備也具有明顯的優勢,日益成為戰爭的主導力量。

事實證明,智慧化武器裝備的發展應用,拓展了軍事行動的能力範圍,大幅提升了部隊的作戰效能。在阿富汗和伊拉克戰場上,無人機已承擔了大部分偵察、情報、監視等作戰保障任務,並承擔了約三分之一的空中打擊任務。近兩年,俄羅斯在敘利亞戰場上也曾多次使用較高智慧化程度的無人偵察機、戰鬥機器人等裝備。智慧化武器裝備正愈來愈地展現出超越傳統武器的重要價值。

未來戰爭中,作戰體系智能化的較量將是高手過招、巔峰對決的勝利關鍵。隨著以科技為支撐的軍事手段發展的不平衡性越來越大,誰先具備實施智能化作戰的能力,誰就更能掌握戰場的主動權,擁有技術代差優勢的強者會盡可能將戰爭成本降到最低,而弱者必然遭受巨大損失,付出慘重代價。我們不僅要加緊核心技術創新、武器裝備研製,還要研究探索適應軍事智能化發展的組織結構、指揮方式和運用模式,更要培養一支能夠擔起推進軍事智能化發展、鍛造智能化作戰能力的人才隊伍,充分發揮我軍作戰體系的整體效能,在與對手的較量中,以更加“智慧”的方式贏得戰爭。

Chinese Military Deciphering Cognitive Warfare Codes Capability Based on Operational Decision Chains

中國軍隊基於作戰決策鏈破解認知戰密碼的能力

現代英語:

Cognition is the basis for operational decisions and operations. Cognitive warfare is a confrontation activity carried out in the cognitive domain. The purpose is to attack the enemy’s knowledge system, social consciousness, people’s morale, etc., disrupt its judgment and decision-making, and cause it to lose its decision-making advantage and action advantage. To deepen the research on cognitive warfare and decipher the cognitive warfare code, the key is to embed the combat decision-making chain and explore how to influence and interfere with the cognitive activities of the enemy’s decision-making chain, causing the enemy to form false observations, wrong judgments and poor decisions, so as to fully control Cognitive initiative.

Seeing is false, changing the facts

Observation is the starting point of cognition. No matter what kind of war, when facing any opponent, the first step is observation. The observation here is a broad concept and is about all activities to obtain all relevant information about the hostile party. Just as people perceive external things through sensory organs, observation relies on the battlefield perception system to obtain relevant data and information from the battlefield environment according to the needs of the subject, providing “ source material ” for judgment and decision-making. Observation uses intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance and other activities to obtain as much factual information and materials from all aspects of the enemy as possible and convert them into text, images, audio, video and sensor signals.

The history of war at home and abroad in ancient and modern times shows that the essence of command is the endless pursuit of certainty, including the status and intentions of enemy troops, various factors affecting the combat environment such as weather and terrain, as well as the status and actions of one’s own troops. Therefore, efficient command consists in clarifying each element and then coordinating it as a whole to achieve the best combat effect. Human judgment and decision-making are easily disturbed by information uncertainty. In the observation stage, the key to cognitive warfare is to make the enemy unable to clearly observe, incompletely observe, and distort the information of their own combat elements, and lack real information or accurate understanding, thereby weakening the enemy’s decision-making on combat at the source. The pursuit of certainty.

Measures for observing cognitive warfare, in addition to common information warfare methods, such as disguise, interference, deception, silence, etc., should also pay attention to the following aspects: First, create complex situations. War is inherently full of complexity. By creating complexity, it increases the fog and resistance on the battlefield, making it impossible for the enemy to observe the real specific situation. For example, by creating various events and operations in multi-dimensional combat areas such as land, sea, air, sky, and network, and making irregular changes, it can effectively increase the difficulty of enemy observation. The second is to interfere with observation and cognition. Observation is not aimless. It is carried out based on a certain cognition. Cognition determines what information needs to be observed, what kind of reconnaissance activities need to be carried out, etc. For example, during observation activities, by interfering with operations, the enemy’s attention in observation activities is affected, causing it to lose the ability to focus on essential issues and key issues, thereby making it unable to obtain key information. The third is to shape the factual narrative. Shaping factual narratives is to reformulate, combine, arrange, and reconstruct facts according to the needs of cognitive warfare. These facts are either created out of nothing, highlight certain details in the facts, or are difficult to verify and test, making their observation materials Mixed with fictional facts, the observed facts are far from objective facts. The fourth is to protect specific knowledge. Knowledge protection is an important aspect of cognitive warfare. The main contents include: commander’s decision-making style, combat theory reasoning process, premises and assumptions, key tactical ideas and combat principles, key decision-making procedures, mechanisms and methods, information analysis methods, especially some algorithms, passwords, etc.

Targeting the judgment, misleading the judgment

On the battlefield, simple observation and data collection do not make much sense. Only by analyzing these data “ by looking at the essence of the phenomenon, and then drawing various judgments, will we promote the formation of operational decisions. For example, during the Battle of Moscow in World War II, the Soviet Union had a lot of and messy information about the Japanese Kwantung Army. Finally, after careful analysis, it was concluded that “ the Soviet Union could be considered safe in the Far East, and the threat from Japan had been ruled out ” After the judgment, it was decided to transfer troops from the Far East to Moscow to participate in the Battle of Moscow. Judgment is the corresponding conclusion reached by analyzing and reasoning the observation results, which mainly includes: first, factual judgment, usually expressed in descriptive language, such as the current situation, enemy battlefield deployment, battlefield posture, etc.; second, value and relationship judgment, usually Expressed in evaluative language, such as threat assessment, correlation analysis, trend prediction, etc.

Judgment cognitive warfare is actually a game surrounding judgment. Normally, judgments arise on the basis of a judgment, without which there would be no conclusion of judgment. Whether a person has high blood pressure or diabetes is often based on some medical indicators, and these indicators are the criteria. The premises and assumptions of reasoning are actually based on judgments. “ Persian cat story ” circulated in World War I. Judging from the location of the command post from a Persian cat, it contains a series of judgments: there is no village around, and it cannot be a cat raised by ordinary civilians; the sound of artillery on the battlefield is rumbling, and it cannot be It is a wild cat that is cautious and avoids people; Persian cats are a valuable breed, and the position of cat owners is not low; cats appear at fixed times every day, and the command post should be near cats. Therefore, interfering with judgment is to target the judgment to design and produce information products so that the facts obtained do not match the judgment, or to minimize the leakage of information related to the judgment, so that the enemy cannot judge or make wrong judgments.

The main contents of the interference criterion are: First, the interference is based on experience. Based on enemy experience, create “ virtual facts ” to make errors in judgment. For example, in the Battle of Maling, Sun Bin halved the stove to lure Pang Juan, which is a typical example. Because according to experience, the number of stoves is directly proportional to the number of troops. Halving the number of stoves every day means that the number of people is decreasing. The possibility of reduction is that the soldiers have suffered greater casualties, which leads to the judgment of weakening combat power. The second is to interfere with the judgment based on the knowledge system. Such knowledge includes the enemy’s common sense, concepts, principles and some assumptions. For example, in the Fourth Middle East War that broke out in October 1973, Israel’s initial defeat was a misjudgment of the war situation. It believed that as long as its air force was still in an advantageous position, the other side would never dare to attack. However, Egypt began to adopt new military technology and used mobile surface-to-air missiles to support an air defense network, partially offsetting Israel’s air superiority. The third is to interfere with judgments based on universal culture. That is, design corresponding information and actions based on the enemy’s cultural characteristics so that they can be misjudged due to cultural differences. According to foreign information, during the Cold War, the United States studied the root causes of “ Soviet behavior, so it started from culture and behavior to induce the Soviet Union to make strategic misjudgments. The fourth is to interfere with methodological-based judgments. Generalizations, analogies, etc. are the basic methods of judgment. Cognitive interference based on methodology makes it difficult for the other party to understand facts and cannot be compared with known facts; complicating the causal relationship and confusing factual cause and effect, psychological cause and effect, conditional cause and effect, social cause and effect, etc., making it impossible to implement causal judgment; reducing possible signs and phenomena, making it impossible to see through the essence and make accurate judgments.

Focus on the process and influence decision-making

Operational decision-making is based on combat purposes and intentions. After observation and judgment, various factors are combined to derive the optimal solution to the problem. War or conflict behavior has game, competition and confrontation attributes, so decision-making is a game. Decisions address key issues such as whether to do it, how to do it, what purpose to achieve, or the state of termination. In information-based local wars, action-centeredness gradually replaces planning-centeredness, requiring an increase from data center warfare, information center warfare, and knowledge center warfare to decision-making center warfare. Combat decision-making has become one of the main areas of competition between the enemy and ourselves.

Decision-making cognitive warfare is to target enemy cognition and interfere with the decision-making process to affect the quality and efficiency of decision-making. Decision-making is affected by the knowledge structure of the decision-maker himself. If cognition is paranoid or the knowledge reserve is outdated, even if the judgment is correct, good decisions will still not be made. The decision-making process includes the application and change process of knowledge structure, which mainly involves procedural knowledge and conceptual principled knowledge. The former includes decision-making procedures and methods, decision-making mechanisms and evaluation methods, etc., while the latter includes understanding of battlefield posture, winning mechanism, combat concepts, combat rules, and weapons and equipment performance. Therefore, cognitive attacks on the decision-making process will greatly affect its decision-making speed and quality.

The main ways to influence cognitive warfare in decision-making are: First, squeezing the cognitive decision-making space. When watching tennis matches, commentary on non-forced errors and forced mistakes are often heard, with forced mistakes being those caused by putting pressure on the opponent. Interfering with the cognitive decision-making environment is to put pressure on the enemy’s cognitive decisions, thereby squeezing the cognitive space and weakening cognition to force the enemy to make mistakes in decision-making. For example, through virtual and real decision-making activities and actions, the opponent is trapped in decision-making difficulties, which increases the probability of low-level decision-making. The second is to attack rational cognition. Including: First, interfering with the understanding of threats and opportunities. Many examples of failures in military history are caused by misjudgment of threats and opportunities on the battlefield. Whether you despise the enemy or overestimate the enemy, you will form decision-making expectations that are different from objective reality, leading to adverse action results. Second, attack combat theory and doctrine. For example, by proposing the theory of mutual restraint, deliberately exaggerating the loopholes in the enemy’s doctrine, and amplifying the adverse effects of the enemy’s combat operations, the enemy can arouse doubts about its own theory and doctrine. Third, for procedural knowledge. Including decision-making mechanisms, procedures and methods, plan evaluation and combat evaluation methods, auxiliary decision-making systems, algorithms, thinking, etc. Attacking the weaknesses present will also cause decision-making errors. The third is to interfere with irrational factors. The use of irrational factors often creates decision-making traps, such as groupthink traps, conceit traps, etc., which have a significant impact on decision-making. The strategic deception successfully implemented by the Allied forces many times during World War II was to use the enemy’s ambiguous and misleading analysis to increase the probability that the wrong decision would win.

引言

認知是作戰決策與行動的基礎。認知戰是在認知域進行的對抗活動,目的是攻擊敵知識體系、社會意識、民心士氣等,打亂其判斷與決策,使其失去決策優勢與行動優勢。深化認知戰研究,破譯認知戰密碼,關鍵是嵌入作戰決策鏈,探究如何影響和乾擾敵決策鏈的認知活動,致敵形成不真實的觀察、錯誤的判斷和糟糕的決策,從而充分掌控認知主動權。

眼見為虛,改變事實

觀察是認知的起點。無論何種戰爭,面對任何對手,首先要做的第一步就是為觀察。這裡的觀察是一個廣義概念,是關於獲得敵對方所有相關資訊的一切活動。正如人類透過感覺器官感知外界事物一樣,觀察依托戰場感知系統,根據主體需要從戰場環境中獲得相關數據與訊息,為判斷和決策提供「原始材料」。觀察通過情報、偵察、監視等活動,盡可能多地獲取敵對方各方面的事實信息與材料,並將其轉化為文本、圖像、音頻、視頻和傳感器信號等。

古今中外的戰爭史表明,指揮的本質是對確定性的無盡追求,包括敵軍部隊狀態和意圖,天候、地形等影響作戰環境的種種因素,以及己方部隊的狀態和行動。因而,高效率的指揮在於廓清每個要素,然後將其整體協調起來行動,以達成最佳作戰效果。而人的判斷決策,很容易受資訊的不確定性幹擾。在觀察階段,認知戰的關鍵就在於,使敵人對己方各種作戰要素觀察不清、觀察不全、觀察的信息失真混亂,缺乏真實信息或準確理解,從而從源頭上削弱敵方對作戰決策確定性的追求。

觀察認知戰的措施,除了通常的資訊戰方法,如偽裝、幹擾、欺騙、靜默等,還應注意以下方面:一是製造復雜局面。戰爭本來就充滿複雜性,通過製造複雜性,增加戰場的迷霧和阻力,使敵人無法觀察到真實具體情況。如,透過在陸、海、空、天、網絡等多維作戰域製造各種事件與行動,並作無規則變動,可有效增加敵方觀察的難度。二是乾擾觀察認知。觀察不是毫無目的的,是基於某種認知進行的,認知決定需要觀察哪些資訊、採取何種偵察活動等。如,在觀察活動中,透過幹擾行動,影響敵方觀察活動的注意力,使其失去聚焦本質問題、關鍵問題的觀察能力,進而使其始終無法獲得關鍵資訊。三是塑造事實敘事。塑造事實敘事,就是根據認知戰需要,重新表述、組合、編排、再建構事實,這些事實要麼是無中生有,要麼是突出事實中的某些細節、要麼是難以查實和檢驗等,使其觀察材料中混雜於虛構事實,觀察的事實與客觀事實相距甚遠。四是保護特定知識。知識保護是認知戰的重要面向。主要內容有:指揮員決策風格,作戰理論推理過程、前提與假設,關鍵戰術思想與作戰原則,關鍵決策程序、機制與方法,資訊分析方法特別是一些演算法、密碼等。

瞄準判據,誤導判斷

戰場上,簡單的觀察和資料收集並沒有太多意義,只有對這些數據進行「透過現像看本質」地分析,進而得出各種判斷,才會推動形成作戰決策。如第二次世界大戰莫斯科保衛戰中,蘇聯有關日本關東軍的資訊多而雜亂,最後經過縝密分析,得出「蘇聯在遠東地區可以認為是安全的,來自日本方面的威脅已排除」的判斷後,才決定將遠東方面的部隊調往莫斯科,參加莫斯科保衛戰。判斷是對觀察結果進行分析推理而得出的相應結論,主要包括:一是事實判斷,通常用描述性語言表達,如當前形勢、敵方的戰場部署、戰場態勢等;二是價值和關系判斷,通常用評價性語言表達,如威脅評估、關聯分析、趨勢預測等。

判斷認知戰,實際上是圍繞判據展開的一種博弈。通常情況下,判斷是基於判據產生的,沒有判據,就不會有判斷結論。一個人是否患有高血壓、糖尿病,往往基於一些醫學指標,這些指標就是判據。推理的前提與假設,實際上也是基於判據。一戰中流傳的“波斯貓的故事”,從一隻波斯貓判斷出指揮所位置,就包含著一系列判據:周圍沒有村莊,不可能是普通平民養的貓;戰場上炮聲隆隆,不可能是謹慎避人的野貓;波斯貓是名貴品種,養貓的人職位不低;貓每天固定時間出現,指揮家應該就在貓出沒在貓出沒。因此,幹擾判斷就是瞄準判據進行資訊產品設計與生產,使其獲得的事實與判據不匹配,或盡量減少自己與判據相關資訊的洩漏,從而使敵方無法判斷或做出錯誤的判斷。

幹擾判據的主要內容有:一是乾擾以經驗為基礎的判據。根據敵方經驗,製造“虛擬事實”,使其判斷失誤。如馬陵之戰中孫臏日減半灶以誘龐涓,就是典型的例子。因為根據經驗,灶與軍隊人數成正比,日減半灶說明人數在減少,減少的可能性是士兵傷亡較大,從而得出戰力減弱的判斷。二是乾擾以知識體係為基礎的判據。此類知識,包括敵方的常識、概念、原則及一些假設等。如1973年10月爆發的第四次中東戰爭,以色列最初的失利在於對戰局的誤判,認為只要自己的空軍仍處於優勢地位,對方就絕對不敢進攻。但是,埃及開始採用新的軍事技術,運用移動式地空飛彈撐起一張空中防禦網,部分抵銷了以色列的空中優勢。三是乾擾以普遍文化為基礎的判據。即根據敵方文化特徵,設計相應資訊與行動,使其因文化差異而產生誤判。據國外資料介紹,冷戰時期美國曾研究了“蘇聯行為的根源”,因此從文化與行為上入手做文章,誘使蘇聯產生戰略誤判。四是乾擾以方法論為基礎的判據。概括、類比等是判斷的基本方法。針對方法論的認知幹擾,就是使對方難以了解事實,無法與已知事實類比;將因果關系復雜化,把事實因果、心理因果、條件因果、社會因果等混淆起來,無法實施因果判斷;減少可能的徵兆和現象,使其無法看透本質,無從進行準確判斷。

著眼過程,影響決策

作戰決策,是針對作戰目的和企圖,經過觀察和判斷,將各種因素綜合起來,推導出解決問題的最優方案。戰爭或沖突行為,具有博弈、競爭和對抗屬性,因而決策即是​​博弈。決策解決的是乾不干、怎麼幹,達到什麼目的或終止狀態等關鍵問題。在資訊化局部戰爭中,以行動為中心逐步取代以計畫為中心,要求從資料中心戰、資訊中心戰、知識中心戰上升為決策中心戰,作戰決策更成為敵我雙方競逐的主要領域之一。

決策認知戰,就是瞄準決策過程中敵方認知進行攻擊幹擾,以影響決策品質與效率。決策受到決策者本身知識結構的影響,如果認知發生偏執或知識儲備過時,即使判斷正確了,仍然得不出好的決策。決策過程包含了知識結構的運用與變化過程,主要涉及程序性知識和概念原理性知識,前者包括決策程序與方法、決策機制與評估方法等,後者包括對戰場態勢、制勝機理、作戰概念、作戰法則、武器裝備表現的認識等。因而,對決策過程中的認知攻擊,將大大影響其決策速度與品質。

影響決策認知戰的主要途徑有:一是擠壓認知決策空間。觀看網球比賽時,經常聽到非逼迫性失誤和逼迫性失誤的解說,逼迫性失誤是指由於給對手造成壓力引起的失誤。幹擾認知決策環境,就是給敵方認知決策壓力,從而擠壓認知空間,削弱認知力,以逼迫敵人決策出現失誤。如,透過虛實相間的決策活動與行動,讓對手陷入決策困境,致其增加出現低水準決策的機率。二是攻擊理性認知。包括:其一,幹擾對威脅與機會的認知。軍事史上許多失敗的戰例,都是誤判戰場上的威脅與機會所引起的。無論輕視敵人,或高估敵人,都會形成與客觀實際不一樣的決策預期,導致不利的行動結果。其二,攻擊作戰理論與條令。如透過提出相剋的理論、刻意渲染敵條令的漏洞、放大敵方作戰行動的不利效果等,引起敵方對自身理論與條令的懷疑。其三,針對程序性知識。包括決策的機制、程序與方法,方案評估與作戰評估方法,輔助決策系統、演算法、思維等,攻擊其中的弱點,也會造成決策失誤。第三是乾擾非理性因素。對非理性因素加以利用,往往會造成決策陷阱,如群思陷阱、自負陷阱等,對決策有重大影響。二戰中盟軍曾多次成功實施的戰略欺騙,就是利用了敵方模稜兩可和誤導性迷惑分析,讓錯誤的決策勝出的機率增大。
