Chinese Military Strengthening Forum | Improving Effectiveness of Manned & Unmanned Collaborative Operations

中國軍事強化論壇 | 提升有人與無人協同作戰效能

現代英語:

Reconnaissance and assault unmanned vehicles, new types of unmanned underwater vehicles, and new integrated reconnaissance and strike drones… A batch of unmanned intelligent equipment made their debut at the military parade held on September 3rd to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, showcasing the new achievements made in the development of the PLA’s unmanned intelligent combat capabilities. For officers and soldiers, it is essential to strive to learn and effectively utilize unmanned intelligent equipment to improve the effectiveness of manned and unmanned coordinated combat.

The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized accelerating the development of unmanned intelligent combat forces. The widespread application of artificial intelligence in the military field is profoundly influencing the development of the world’s military, giving rise to new combat methods and concepts, and accelerating the evolution of warfare towards intelligence. The participation of unmanned combat forces in military operations is increasing daily, and unmanned intelligent warfare has become a new growth engine for enhancing system-wide combat capabilities. Lenin said, “Without understanding the times, one cannot understand war.” A significant characteristic of recent local wars and armed conflicts worldwide is the increasingly large-scale use of unmanned platforms, the increasingly profound empowerment of artificial intelligence, and the increasingly close collaboration between manned and unmanned forces. Cross-domain joint operations and unmanned autonomy have become new combat trends.

“To acquire a strong army, one must have strong armor and sharp weapons, and rigorous selection and training.” Manned-unmanned collaborative warfare is the most valuable operational mode for future unmanned warfare and a major form of future warfare. “Unmanned platforms, manned systems, unmanned leadership, and human-machine integration” are the distinctive features of intelligent warfare. To improve capabilities in collaborative reconnaissance, strike, assault, support, and defense, it is essential to strengthen manned-unmanned collaborative training, enhance innovation in “manned + unmanned” tactics, and foster a tacit understanding of “human trust in machines and machines assisting humans” in collaboration. This will accelerate the integration of unmanned intelligent combat forces into the combat system as the “main force” and “protagonist.”

Military strategy relies on intelligence, and victory depends on tactics. As Comrade Ye Jianying said, “If we only master modern military means without correct military theory to guide us, we cannot effectively deal with modernized enemies, and we will at least pay a greater price.” Looking at world military history, Britain invented the tank and was the first to deploy it in actual combat, but failed to make the most of it and never developed a corresponding operational theory. In contrast, at the beginning of World War II, Germany pioneered the operational concept of tank formations, developing it into the “Blitzkrieg” theory, which played a crucial role on the battlefield. Good tactics are better than a thousand troops. Officers and soldiers should continuously improve their technological awareness, innovation, and application capabilities, master the winning mechanisms of intelligent warfare, strengthen specialized training in typical operations, and create more training methods and tactics adapted to the informationized and intelligent battlefield.

Every spear has its shield. The anti-drone formation in this military parade was equally eye-catching. The displayed anti-droneous artillery systems, high-energy laser weapons, and high-power microwave weapons, forming a powerful “iron triangle” for countering drones, capable of both soft-kill and hard-destruction. With the rapid development of unmanned combat forces, how to counter them is an unavoidable issue. In future battlefields, a single combat force will find it difficult to independently complete anti-drone combat missions. Only by comprehensively utilizing various anti-drone equipment and technologies, integrating anti-drone warfare into the joint operations system, adopting flexible tactics and rapid, precise actions, and carrying out targeted strikes or flexible control, can we unlock and unleash the new combat effectiveness of human-machine collaboration and firmly grasp the initiative in winning intelligent warfare.

現代國語:

偵察突擊無人機、新型無人水下航行器、新型偵察打擊一體化無人機…一群無人智能裝備在9月3日舉行的紀念中國人民抗日戰爭暨世界反法西斯戰爭勝利80週年閱兵式上首次亮相,展現了解放軍在發展無人智能作戰能力方面取得的新成果。對官兵而言,努力學習並有效運用無人智慧裝備,提升有人與無人協同作戰的效能至關重要。

中共二十大報告強調加速發展無人智慧作戰力量。人工智慧在軍事領域的廣泛應用,深刻影響世界軍事發展,催生出新的作戰方式和理念,加速了戰爭向智慧化演進的進程。無人作戰力量參與軍事行動的程度日益加深,無人智慧戰已成為提升系統性作戰能力的新動力。列寧曾說:「不了解時代,就不能了解戰爭。」近期全球範圍內的局部戰爭和武裝衝突的一個顯著特徵是:無人平台的使用規模日益擴大,人工智慧的賦能日益深入,有人與無人部隊的協同作戰日益緊密。跨域聯合作戰和無人自主作戰已成為新的作戰趨勢。

「要擁有強大的軍隊,就必須擁有強大的裝甲和鋒利的武器,以及嚴格的選拔和訓練。」人機協同作戰是未來無人作戰最有價值的作戰模式,也是未來戰爭的主要形式之一。 「無人平台、有人系統、無人指揮和人機融合」是智慧戰的顯著特徵。為提升協同偵察、打擊、突擊、支援和防禦能力,必須加強有人-無人協同訓練,提升「有人+無人」戰術創新,培養「人機互信、機輔人」的協同作戰理念。這將加速無人智慧作戰力量融入作戰體系,成為「主力」和「主角」。

軍事戰略靠情報,勝利靠戰術。正如葉劍英同誌所言:「若只掌握現代軍事手段,而沒有正確的軍事理論指導,就無法有效應對現代化敵人,而且至少要付出更大的代價。」縱觀世界軍事手段,英國發明了坦克,並率先將其投入實戰,但未能充分發揮其優勢,也從未發展出相應的作戰理論。相較之下,在二戰初期,德國率先提出了坦克編隊的作戰概念,並將其發展為「閃電戰」理論,在戰場上發揮了至關重要的作用。好的戰術勝過千軍萬馬。官兵應不斷提昇技術意識、創新能力和應用能力,掌握智慧戰爭的勝利機制,加強典型作戰的專項訓練,並創造更多適應資訊化、智慧化戰場的訓練方法和戰術。

每支矛都有其盾。這次閱兵式上的反無人機編隊同樣引人注目。展出的反無人機火砲系統、高能量雷射武器和高功率微波武器,構成了一個強大的反無人機“鐵三角”,兼具軟殺傷和硬摧毀能力。隨著無人作戰力量的快速發展,如何應對無人作戰已成為一個無法迴避的問題。在未來的戰場上,單支作戰部隊將難以獨立完成反無人機作戰任務。只有全面運用各種反無人機裝備和技術,將反無人機作戰融入聯合作戰體系,採取靈活戰術和快速、精確的行動,實施定點打擊或靈活控制,才能解鎖和釋放人機協同作戰的新效能,牢牢掌握贏得智能戰爭的主動權。
