In April this year, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments of the United States released a “roadmap” for the development of the platform forces of the future ground forces of the US military. The “roadmap” points out that in the future, human-machine teamwork warfare of ground forces will become the main combat style of future ground forces under the influence of robots, artificial intelligence and augmented technology. We still don’t know when unmanned forces will completely replace manned forces. But what is certain is that the mode of man-machine combination is profoundly affecting the future combat methods, changing the current combat force composition to a large extent, and may become the protagonist in future wars.
Please pay attention to the report of the Liberation Army Daily today:
Artificial intelligence technology will promote the organic integration of unmanned combat platforms and manned combat systems.
How far are we from being the protagonists of the human-machine ensemble?

In April this year, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments of the United States released a “roadmap” for the development of the U.S. military’s future ground force platform forces. The “roadmap” points out that in the future, human-machine teamwork warfare of ground forces will become the main combat style of future ground forces under the influence of robots, artificial intelligence and augmented technology.
We still don’t know when unmanned forces will completely replace manned forces. But what is certain is that the human-machine combination model is profoundly affecting the future combat methods, changing the current combat force composition to a great extent, and may become the protagonist in future wars.
The realization of human-machine teaming has benefited greatly from the rapid development of military artificial intelligence technology. At present, military artificial intelligence technology has become an important driving force for the development of human-machine teaming, promoting its comprehensive application in military fields such as command decision-making, organization and deployment, equipment operation, combat support, military training, and rear support. Human-machine teaming based on military artificial intelligence technology will effectively promote a significant increase in the combat effectiveness of the army, give birth to a new war style, and change the internal mechanism of winning the war.
In the field of information perception and processing, the armies of the United States, Russia and other countries have been equipped with digital individual systems with intelligent information perception and processing capabilities, which help soldiers to accurately grasp complex battlefield situations in real time and quickly and efficiently deal with various problems arising on the battlefield. At the same time, the deployment and application of a series of intelligent unmanned reconnaissance equipment has greatly improved battlefield transparency and greatly shortened the time for information acquisition and processing.
In terms of unmanned combat platform construction, intelligent unmanned combat equipment, mainly intelligent unmanned vehicles, drones and unmanned submarines, has gradually emerged in military applications. Various auxiliary decision-making systems developed based on artificial intelligence technology can build a powerful grid network information system, enhance the ability of intelligence analysis, command and decision-making, and thus greatly improve the command and decision-making efficiency of human-machine combinations.
Human-machine combination usually consists of manned forces and unmanned forces. Among them, manned forces are the command center, and unmanned forces accept the command and control of manned forces and perform combat missions according to the command and control of manned forces. The three basic forms of human-machine combination can be summarized as human-robot combination, human-AI combination and personnel enhancement. The three forms will greatly improve the deployability, lethality and sustainability of future military forces.
Human-robot teaming refers to a partnership between humans and robots, which aims to improve the ability of humans to interact with various types of robot formations to perform specific tasks. In 2017, the U.S. Air Force demonstrated a manned and unmanned aircraft formation in the “Have-Airstriker II” exercise, with unmanned wingmen autonomously performing ground attack missions. Autonomously controlled unmanned wingmen are able to make value judgments based on changes in the battlefield environment, act according to new action plans, and successfully achieve the expected results. In the same year, the French Dassault Aviation Company successfully achieved a flight of hundreds of kilometers between the “Neuron” drone and the “Rafale” fighter, accumulating technical experience for the research and development of unmanned wingmen.
The combination of human and AI is mainly manifested in the weaponization of humans and the humanization of weapons, which are applied in strategic analysis, combat planning and command decision-making. This requires specialized analysis and research related to but different from the combination of human and robot. Last year, Facebook announced its entry into the field of non-invasive brain-computer interface research. The Advanced Research Projects Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense also announced funding for several research institutions to carry out neuroengineering system design projects to develop brain-computer interfaces that can be implanted in the human brain to achieve high-speed communication between humans and machines.
Personnel augmentation aims to enhance the existing combat capabilities of combat personnel by using mechanical, wearable and implantable external forces. For example, the currently developed equipment such as modular and expandable individual protective equipment, enhanced combat helmets, individual exoskeletons and wearable data recorders highlight the concept of people-oriented and achieve the goals of enhancing personnel protection capabilities, improving battlefield perception capabilities and enhancing individual combat effectiveness.
In the future, human-machine combination will change the traditional combat mode, give birth to new combat forces, blur the boundary between war and non-war, and have a profound impact on future wars. Its development trend is mainly concentrated in three aspects:
First, it is developing towards comprehensive multi-mission combat capabilities. With the needs of future operations, human-machine teaming is developing towards comprehensive, multi-mission capabilities such as reconnaissance and strike, command and control, and combat support. Multi-mission requirements will make human-machine teaming a key node in future operations. Improving comprehensive multi-mission combat capabilities is an inevitable trend in the development of human-machine teaming.
The second is to develop in the direction of distributed networking, cross-domain clustering and collaborative operations. Human-machine collaborative combat technology will become a research focus. Relying on artificial intelligence, data fusion and data management and other related technical support, unmanned combat nodes and manned combat nodes will be distributedly networked to achieve cluster combat of human-machine combination, form wide-area combat capabilities, and achieve the purpose of collaborative combat.
The third is to develop in the direction of system, intelligence and module. The system construction is constantly strengthened, and the system combat capability of human-machine combination is improved according to different battlefield environments and combat requirements, the intelligence level of system combat is improved, the autonomy and interaction ability of unmanned forces in performing tasks are improved, and combat tasks that manned forces are unable to perform are completed.

今年4月,美國戰略與預算評估中心發布了美軍未來地面部隊平台力量發展的「路線圖」。該「路線圖」指出,未來地面部隊人機組合作戰將在機器人、人工智慧和增強技術的影響下,成為未來地面部隊的主要作戰樣式。
無人力量何時會完全取代有人力量,目前我們還不得而知。但可以肯定的是,人機組合的模式正在深刻影響未來作戰方式,在很大程度上改變當前的作戰力量編成,或將成為未來戰爭中的主角。
人機組合的實現在很大程度上得益於軍用人工智慧技術的快速發展。當前,軍用人工智慧技術已成為人機組合力量發展的重要推手,推動其在指揮決策、編成部署、裝備運用、作戰支援、軍事訓練、後裝保障等軍事領域全面應用。基於軍用人工智慧技術的人機組合將有力促進軍隊戰鬥力大幅提升,催生新的戰爭樣式,改變戰爭制勝的內在機理。
在資訊感知與處理領域,美、俄等國的軍隊已裝備了具有智能化信息感知與處理能力的數字化單兵系統,為士兵實時準確地掌握復雜戰場情況,快速高效地處置戰場上出現的各種問題提供了幫助。同時,一系列智慧化無人偵察裝備的部署應用,大大提高了戰場透明度,使資訊取得和處理的時間大大縮短。
在無人作戰平台建設方面,以智慧化無人車、無人機和無人潛航器為主體的智慧化無人作戰裝備逐漸在軍事應用中嶄露頭角。基於人工智慧技術開發的各種輔助決策系統可建立功能強大的柵格化網路資訊體系,增強情報分析、指揮決策的能力,從而大幅提高人機組合的指揮與決策效能。
人機組合通常由有人力量與無人力量構成。其中,有人力量是指揮中樞,無人力量接受有人力量的指揮和控制,根據有人力量的指揮控制執行作戰任務。人機組合的三種基本形式可以概括為人-機器人組合、人-AI組合和人員增強,三種形式將極大地提高未來軍事力量的可部署性、殺傷性和可持續性。
人-機器人組合是指人與機器人之間的合作夥伴關系,旨在提高執行特定任務的人與各型機器人編隊互動的能力。 2017年,美國空軍在「海弗-空襲者Ⅱ」演習中,展示了有人機和無人機編隊,無人僚機自主執行對地攻擊的任務。自主控制的無人僚機能夠根據戰場環境變化做出價值判斷,以新的行動方案開展行動,並成功實現預期結果。同年,法國達梭飛機製造公司成功實現了「神經元」無人機與「陣風」戰鬥機的數百千米飛行,為無人僚機的研究發展積累了技術經驗。
人-AI的組合主要表現為人的武器化和武器的人化,應用於戰略分析、作戰規劃和指揮決策等方面,這需要開展與人-機器人組合相關卻又與之不同的專門分析研究。去年,「臉書」宣布進軍非侵入性的腦機介面研究領域。美國國防部高級研究計劃局也宣布資助多家研究機構,開展神經工程系統設計項目,開發可植入人腦的腦機接口,實現人機間高速通訊。
人員增強旨在利用機械的、可穿戴和可植入的外部力量來增強作戰人員現有的作戰能力。例如目前開發的注入模塊化拓展的單兵防護裝備、增強型戰鬥頭盔、單兵外骨骼和可穿戴數據記錄儀等設備,突出了以人為本的理念,達到了增強人員防護能力、提高戰場感知能力和提升單兵戰鬥力的目標。
未來,人機組合將改變傳統的作戰模式,催生新型作戰力量,模糊戰爭與非戰爭界限,對未來戰爭產生深遠影響。其發展趨勢主要集中在三個方面:
一是向綜合多任務作戰能力方向發展。隨著未來作戰的需要,人機組合正向具備偵察打擊、指揮控制、作戰支援等綜合型、多任務能力方向發展。多任務需求,將使人機組合成為未來作戰的關鍵節點。提升綜合多任務作戰能力是人機組合發展的必然趨勢。
二是向分散式組網、跨域集群和協同作戰方向發展。人機協同作戰技術將成為研究重點,依託人工智慧、數據融合與數據管理等相關技術支撐,由無人作戰節點、有人作戰節點進行分散式組網,實現人機組合的集群作戰,形成廣域的作戰能力,達到協同作戰的目的。
第三是向體系、智能、模塊方向發展。體系化建設不斷加強,針對不同的戰場環境和作戰需求,提高人機組合的體係作戰能力,提升體係作戰的智能化水平,提高無人力量執行任務時的自主性和交互能力,完成有人力量無法勝任的作戰任務。
