國外軍事家看中國特色的信息戰 //
Chinese Characteristics of Information Warfare: Foreign Military Observations
In recent years, information warfare has become a hot spot all over the world.China’s military strategists have not neglected their importance as a tool of war, and are accelerating the development of information warfare theory. They are not only exploring theoretical issues, but also training troops.
Information warfare with Chinese characteristics
Chinese military theorists believe that information warfare can give Mao Zedong’s people’s war ideas into the omission. This view by the Chinese information warfare expert Wang Pufeng (transliteration) generals in 1995 for the first time. Some people think that electronics, computer and information engineering experts, like the past soldiers on the battlefield, can become the main force in the new people’s war. Obviously they want to use the people’s war ideas to fight the information war – a war with a home computer, when necessary to mobilize thousands of people, attack foreign computer systems. China has a number of outstanding software experts, in the field of information war has great potential. The question is how to seek greater information space and equipment for the huge population.
“The whole society will replace the traditional battlefield,” said Shen Weiguang, an information warfare expert. “Different classes and social groups will participate in political activities in their own country or other countries.” He advocates the establishment of a scientist, police, Other experts to form the information protection forces to defend the security of the national information field, to counter the invasion of information launched by other countries.
The idea of combining the people’s war with the information war is being carried out in China’s 1.5 million strong reserve army. The People’s Liberation Army is turning the reserve forces of certain military sub-divisions into small-scale information warfare. In Hubei, a military division, the People’s Armed Forces Department has 20 towns of the armed forces to form a reserve / militia information warfare. The Department has a network of war camps, electronic war camps, intelligence and psychological camps, and 35 technical units (classes to camp). The department has also established the first training base for information services that can accommodate 500 people.
The above-mentioned military division is not the only military division of the organization’s reserve and militia for information warfare. “Liberation Army Daily” has reported that in December 1999 a city along the southeast coast held a meeting of the reserve and militia forces, during the electronic interference, network attack and defense and radar reconnaissance and other red. There are also reports of information warfare activities organized by the People’s Armed Forces and the Armed Forces in other regions.
In the information war era, China is also affected by another important tactics, that is, China’s “thirty-six dollars.” About 300 years ago, an unnamed scholar collected 36 Chinese tactics, and compiled a book, named “thirty-six dollars.” The book focuses on deception as a military art that achieves military goals. In the information age, due to the unknown uncertainty of the attacker’s origin (the program’s listening to the source of the virus and the presence of the back door increases the vulnerability of the system), some tactics may be reusable, thirty-six may find new Meaning and new use.
Some critics argue that in today’s high-tech era, these ancient strategies are hard to do. However, just look at a few of them, then it is another situation: the first plan “deceive”, meaning by resorting to deceit and camouflage means to hide their true intentions, in order to achieve the purpose of loosening the enemy vigilance. Applying to information wartime is the use of regular e-mail and commercial lines on the Internet to cover the purpose of sending dangerous code and viruses. The fourth meter “to wait and see”. Meaning that when fighting their own recharge your batteries, until the enemy fatigue chaos, take the opportunity to win. Application to the information wartime is the use of people’s war theory, extensive mobilization of the masses to attack, until all the Western computer to meet the difficulty of self-propelled when the implementation of large-scale attack.
At present, China is considering the establishment of future high-tech operations of the “network army.” It will protect the network sovereignty, network warfare and technology and knowledge-intensive operations. Network technology will include: can decipher the password, steal data and restore data browsing technology; can attack on the network and attack counterattack technology; can fake fake identity from the network to steal the license of camouflage technology; to avoid attacks, Prevent internal leaks, and defensive techniques that prevent random action like electronic police.
Definition of information warfare
China’s famous author of the issue of information warfare at home and abroad is Dr. Shen Weiguang, Major General Wang Pufeng, Wang Baoji University and Yuan Bangji General (both sound Ze). In 1996, Dr. Shen first proposed the definition of information warfare: information war is a two sides through the control of information and intelligence to try to master the battlefield initiative of the war. As the United States defined, Dr. Shen stressed that “save yourself, fight against the enemy” into “to protect themselves, control the enemy.” Wang generals also believe that the key to information warfare is to control the information.
In 1997, Wang Baoji University from the perspective of China’s military science and Marxism-Leninism to elaborate on the word information warfare. This article covers the form, nature, hierarchy, characteristics, characteristics and principles of information warfare. He believes that the form of information warfare is divided into normal, crisis and wartime three; nature is attack and defense of the contest; level is divided into national, strategic, theater and tactical four; features include command and control warfare, intelligence war Such as electronic warfare, psychological warfare, space control warfare, hacking warfare, virtual warfare, economic warfare, strategic and precise contest, etc .; features complex, transparent, limited target, short duration, small damage, large combat space, Comprehensive, strong command capability, etc .; in principle, to take cut, blinded, transparent, fast melon and improve the viability and other measures. His office and analysis of information warfare help people gain a deeper understanding of China’s information warfare.
Another author of China’s definition of information war is the General Staff of the PLA General Staff, he wrote in the 1999 book that: “Information war is a capture and maintain the control of information and struggle between the hostile parties Compete for access to control and use of information initiative, they use and protect their own information and resources and information systems at the same time, will use and destroy the enemy’s information resources, information systems and information-based weapons systems.
In 2000, General Wang Pufeng made a more thorough and thorough explanation of the “information warfare” than he used to be “information war”. Wang believes that the information war refers to a war and a war mode; information warfare refers to a kind of combat and a combat mode. The new mode of action refers to the action that is carried out in the computer network. Information warfare includes information detection systems, information transmission systems, information and weapons attack systems, and information processing and application systems. Information warfare contains information warfare, which combines information and ability to use information networks based on the battlefield as their place of activity.
Information warfare training
In February 1999, an interesting article on information warfare training defined information warfare as a knowledge war, a special contest for the power of high intelligence. The definition stems from the fact that high-tech warfare requires commanders and operators to have a high level of knowledge, strong mental, command and operational skills.
Chinese military leaders, after recognizing the gap between the above and the more developed countries, decided to carry out training activities at all levels. The staff will be divided into three categories by age:
The first category for the support of talent, the main goal is more than 40 years of age at all levels of leading cadres. The aim is to eliminate their blind spots by training (from mechanization concepts to simulated computer fights) to change their minds and apply them to future wars. Training content includes: information technology foundation, information warfare theory, information warfare weapons universal knowledge. Training methods of color training courses and other auxiliary methods.
The second category is a transitional talent, training goal is 30-40 year old cadres. As the future leaders of the Chinese army, they must focus on improving the commanding ability in the information warfare environment.
The third category for the regeneration of talent, training for the 30-year-old cadres. These people have long been adapted to the information society, with a good foundation of modern information technology theory, focusing on improving their commanding ability and skills.
The training of various age groups includes: basic theory (computer foundation and application, communication network technology, information highway, digital force); electronic warfare; radar technology; information war rules and rules; information strategy and tactics; theater and strategic information warfare Information systems (including the collection of letters, processing, information and use of information warfare); monitoring, decision-making and control systems; information weapons (soft and hard destruction of the concept and principles, how to use information weapons, analog information warfare); information system protection; Computer virus attack and defense, as well as communication network interference and anti-interference.
The article shows that China is preparing a first-class information warfare course. However, subsequent reports indicate that this is not the case. In July 1999, a “Liberation Army Daily” pointed out: “training content, system and structure of the rationality of the information warfare training can not really become the mainstream of our military training.Currently, information warfare training in a state of arbitrary. System, operation is not standardized, the lack of assessment standards and management regulations.
Information warfare
Over the past three years, China has held several major information warfare military exercises, every time it is important, because it is a test of information war theory. The first “special war” (information warfare) exercise was conducted in October 1997; a military army in a military area was subjected to a computer attack aimed at paralyzing its system, and the group’s military antivirus software was defended. The exercise is called “invasion and anti-intrusion exercise”. The exercise used ground logistics, medical and air forces.
In October 1998, China held a high-tech comprehensive exercise with several national military zones. The first use of the “military information superhighway” was used for joint defense operations. The information network subsystem in the command automation system is composed of digital, dialing, command network and secret channel. The other parts of the command automation system are subsystems such as command warfare, audio and graphics processing, control and data encryption. Military information highway in addition to the trend map, but also send graphics, characters and audio data.
In October 1999, the People’s Liberation Army for the first time between the two groups of war-level computer online confrontation exercise. Conducted reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance, interference and anti-interference, blockade and anti-blockade, air strikes and anti-air raid and other subjects. In the software environment, resource sharing, combat command, situation display, auxiliary evaluation, signal transmission and intelligence warfare and other six types of operations. The computer evaluation system conducts mathematical and qualitative analysis of the performance of the participant.
In July 2000, a military area in southwest China also conducted an online confrontation exercise. The three training tasks related to the exercise are: organizing and planning the campaign, seizing air power and making information, implementing breakthroughs and breaking down. There are more than 100 terminal networking involved in the exercise. Three weeks later, another military area also opened a high-tech exercise curtain, and issued to the subordinate units began to control the communication line command.
China ‘s Information Warfare Ability
Chinese military theorists have found a voluntary, very economical and obedient partner in information warfare. This partner will enable China to catch up with the West in strategic, military and international status. Which will enable China to play an important strategic role in the future Asia-Pacific region. China may gradually pay close attention to economic competitors.
China attaches great importance to the role played by the new information warfare forces, including the network forces (independent arms), the network warriors commando, the information protection forces, the information corps, the electronic police and the joint people’s war network. The latter is particularly concerned by foreign analysts because of its unique nature and potential. Chinese military theorists believe that the victory of information warfare will belong to the one who can mobilize the most computer experts to participate in the “information family war”, they will use such as cyber war strategy, trying to cut off important information nodes and contacts.
At present, China’s information warfare combines Western, Russian and Chinese ideas. However, information wars with Chinese characteristics, which are different from Russia and the West, are gradually forming. China’s information warfare should look for answers to the questions from today’s military history, such as the nature and characteristics of information warfare.
However, there are still many shortcomings in China’s information warfare methods, not just quantitative aspects. The core of the information warfare theory also involves maintaining the integrity and stability of the infrastructure. In the information age, infrastructure stability is as important as troop survivability. China’s biggest weakness is just in terms of infrastructure. At present, China is accelerating the development of electronic information industry, its purpose is nothing more than for the military and civilian information base for the use of infrastructure.
China is good at drawing lessons from others, may soon be able to set up a compelling information warfare force. Information war has forced China to cross a number of technological development stages, the use of Western technology, not only save time but also save money. However, China may not fully follow the example of others, but will take a creative or indirect information war strategy. But no matter what, China is worthy of attention is different from other countries, the power of information.
Original Mandarin Chinese:
近些年來，信息戰已經成為全世界的熱點。中國的軍事家們也沒有忽視其作為戰爭工具的重要意義，正在加速發展信息戰理論。他們不僅正在探索理論方面的課題，而且也在據此訓練部隊。
中國特色的信息戰
中國軍事理論家認為，信息戰可以給毛澤東的人民戰爭思想注入省略。此觀點由中國信息戰專家王普峰（音譯）將軍於１９９５年首次提出。有人認為，電子、計算機和信息工程專家如同過去戰場上的將士一樣，可以成為新人民戰爭中的主力軍。顯然他們是希望用人民戰爭思想打信息戰－－一種用家用微機即可進行的戰爭，需要時動員成千上萬人，攻擊外國計算機系統。中國擁有一批傑出的軟件專家，在信息戰領域有巨大潛力。問題是如何為龐大的人口尋求更大的信息空間和設備。
信息戰專家沈偉光在文章中寫道：“整個社會將取代傳統戰場。不同階層和社會團體將參與本國或其他國家的政治活動。”他主張建立一支由精通信息戰的科學家、警察、士兵和其他專家組成的信息保護部隊，以捍衛國家信息領域的安全，反擊其他國家發動的信息入侵。
將人民戰爭和信息戰相結合的思想正在貫徹到中國１５０萬強大後備軍中。人民解放軍正將某些軍分區的後備役部隊變成小型信息戰團。在湖北某軍分區，人民武裝部已將２０個城鎮的武裝部組成一個後備役／民兵信息戰團。該部擁有網絡戰營、電子戰營、情報和心理戰營，以及３５支技術分隊（班到營）。該部還建立了第一個可容納５００人的後備役信息戰訓練基地。
上述軍分區並非是組織後備役和民兵進行信息戰訓練的唯一軍分區。 《解放軍報》曾報導說，１９９９年１２月東南沿海某城市舉行了一次運用後備役和民兵部隊的會議，期間進行了電子乾擾，網絡攻防和雷達偵察等演紅。同樣還有其他地區人武部和軍分區組織信息戰活動的報導。
在信息戰時代，中國還受到另一個重要戰法的影響，即中國的“三十六計”。大約３００年前，一位無名學者蒐集到中國的３６個計謀，並彙編成書，取名為《三十六計》。該書著重將欺騙作為達成軍事目標的軍事藝術。在信息時代，因攻擊者來歷不明的情況不確定性（程序聽病毒源和存在的後門增大了系統的易損性），有些計謀可能會重新有用武之地，三十六計可能會找到新含義和新用途。
一些評論家認為，在當今的高技術時代，這些古代計策難有作為。然而，只需看看其中的幾計，則又是另一番情況：第一計“瞞天過海”，意思是通過採取欺騙和偽裝的手段隱藏自己的真實意圖，以達到鬆懈敵人警惕性的目的。應用到信息戰時就是使用互聯網上的正規電子郵件和商業線路來掩蓋發送危險代碼和病毒的目的。第四計“以逸待勞”。意思是作戰時自己養精蓄銳，待敵疲勞混亂時，乘機出擊取勝。應用到信息戰時就是利用人民戰爭理論，廣泛發動群眾進行攻擊，待所有西方計算機應爭反應小級難以自拔時再實施大規模進攻。
目前中國正考慮建立未來高科技作戰的“網絡軍”。它將保護網絡主權，進行網絡戰以及技術和知識密集型作戰。網絡技術將包括：能破譯密碼、偷取數據和恢復數據的瀏覽技術；能在網絡上發起攻擊和乾擾的反擊技術；能通過偽造假身份從網絡竊取許可權的偽裝技術；能避開攻擊、防止內部洩密以及像電子警察那樣阻止隨意行動的防禦技術。
信息戰的定義
中國探討國內外信息戰問題的著名作者是沈偉光博士、王普鋒少將、王保存大校和袁邦概將軍（均為音澤）。 １９９６年，沈博士首次提出信息戰定義：信息戰是一場雙方通過控制信息和情報輿來設法掌握戰場主動權的戰爭。正如美國界定的那樣，沈博士強調把“保存自己，打擊敵人”變為“保護自己，控制敵人”。王將軍也認為信息戰取勝的關鍵是控制信息。
１９９７年，王保存大校從中國軍事科學和馬列主義的角度精闢地闡述字信息戰問題。該文涵蓋信息戰的形式、性質、層次、特徵、特點和原則。他認為：形式上信息戰分為平時、危機時和戰時三種；性質上是攻與防的較量；層次分為國家、戰略、戰區和戰術四級；特徵包括指揮與控制戰、情報戰、電子戰、心理戰、空間控制戰、黑客戰、虛擬戰、經濟戰、戰略和精確的較量等；特點有復雜、透明、目標有限、持續時間短、毀傷小、戰鬥空間大、部隊疏散、綜合性強、指揮能力要求強等；原則上採取切斷、蒙蔽、透明、快速瓜和提高生存力等措施。他對信息戰的辦公室和分析有助於人們更深入了解中國的信息戰。
中國另一位界定信息戰的作者是解放軍總參謀部的袁將軍，他在１９９９年撰寫的書中認為：“信息戰是一場奪取和保持信息控制權而進行的鬥爭，是敵對雙方之間爭奪獲取控制和使用信息主動權的鬥爭，他們在使用和保護己方各種信息戰資源和信息系統的同時，會利用和破壞敵方的信息資源、信息系統和基於信息的武器系統。
２０００年，王普鋒將軍對“信息戰爭”作了比以往更深入透徹的解釋，以別於“信息戰”。王將軍認為，信息戰爭指的是一種戰爭和一種戰爭模式；信息戰指的是一種作戰和一種作戰模式。之種新作戰模式指的是在計算機網絡窨進行的行動。信息戰包括信息探測系統、信息傳輸系統、信息和武器攻擊系統以及信息處理和應用系統。信息戰爭包含信息戰，兩者將信息和能力融為一體，使用以信息網絡為基礎的戰場作為他們的活動場所。
信息戰訓練
１９９９年２月，一篇關於信息戰訓練的有趣文章將信息戰界定為知識型戰爭，是高智能人才之間力量的特殊較量。該定義源於這樣一個事實：高技術戰爭需要指揮員和操作員有很高的知識、很強的心理素質、指揮能力和作戰技術。
中國軍方領導人在認識到上述幾方面與較發達國家存在的差距後，決定在各級開展訓練活動。將人員按年齡分為３類：
第一類為支撐型人才，主要目標是４０多歲以上的各級領導幹部。目的是通過訓練（從機械化概念到模擬計算機戰鬥）消除他們的信息盲區，轉變他們的觀念，使其將新思維應用到未來戰爭中去。訓練內容包括：信息技術基礎、信息戰理論、信息戰武器普及知識。訓練方法彩短訓班和其他輔助方法。
第二類為過渡型人才，培養目標是３０－４０歲的干部。作為中國軍隊的未來領導者，他們必須著重提高信息戰環境下的指揮能力。
第三類為再生型人才，培養對象為３０歲以下的干部。這些人早已適應信息社會，擁有現代信息技術理論的良好根基，重點是提高他們的指揮能力和技藝。
各個年齡組的訓練包括：基礎理論（計算機基礎和應用、通信網絡技術、信息高速公路、數字化部隊）；電子對抗；雷達技術；信息戰規律與規則；信息戰略與戰術；戰區與戰略信息戰的信息系統（包括收信紙、處理、輿和使用信息戰指令）；監測、決策和控制系統；信息武器（軟、硬破壞的概念和原則、如何應用信息武器、模擬信息戰）；信息系統保護；計算機病毒攻與防，以及通信網絡的干擾與反干擾。
該文章表明中國正在編制第一流的信息戰課程。然而，後來的報導表明情況並非如此。 １９９９年７月的一份《解放軍報》指出：“訓練內容、體制和結構的無理性使信息戰訓練不能真正成為我軍訓練的主流。目前，信息戰訓練處於一種隨心所欲的狀態。內容不系統，運作不規範，缺乏評估標準和管理規章”。
信息戰演練
過去３年，中國舉行過數次重大信息戰軍事演習，每次都很重要，因為那是對信息戰理論的一次檢驗。首次“特種戰”（信息戰）演練於１９９７年１０月進行；某軍區的一個集團軍遭到旨在癱瘓其係統的計算機攻擊，該集團軍用殺毒軟件進行了防衛。該演練被稱為“入侵與反入侵演練”。演習時運用了地面後勤、醫療和空軍部隊。
１９９８年１０月，中國舉行了一場有全國數個軍區聯合進行的高科技綜合演練。聯合防禦作戰演練時首次使用了“軍事信息高速公路”。指揮自動化系統中的信息網絡子系統由數字、撥號、指揮網和保密信道組成。指揮自動化系統的其他部分是指揮作戰、音頻和圖形處理、控制和數據加密等子系統。軍事信息高速公路除傳勢圖外，還發發送圖形、字符和音頻數據。
１９９９年１０月，解放軍首次進行了兩個集團軍之間的戰役級計算機網上對抗演練。演練了偵察與反偵察、干擾與反干擾、封鎖與反封鎖、空襲與反空襲等科目。在軟件環境下進行了資源共享、作戰指揮、態勢顯示、輔助評估、信號傳輸和情報戰等６類作業。計算機評估系統對參演者的表現進行數理與質量分析。
２０００年７月，西南某軍區也進行了網上對抗演練。與此次演練有關的３項訓練任務是：組織和計劃戰役、奪取制空權和製信息權、實施突破和反突破。有１００多台終端聯網參與了演練。三週後，另一個軍區也拉開了高技術演練的帷幕，並向下屬部隊下達開始控制通信線路的命令。
中國的信息戰能力
中國軍事理論家已在信息戰方面找到一個自願、非常經濟和順從的伙伴。這個夥伴將使中國在戰略、軍事和國際地位上趕上西方。這將使中國在未來亞太地區發揮重要的戰略作用。中國可能會逐步引起經濟競爭者的密切關注。
中國異常重視新信息戰部隊所表現出的作用，這方面的各種組織包括：網絡部隊（獨立兵種）、網絡勇士突擊隊、信息保護部隊、信息兵團、電子警察和聯合的人民戰爭網絡機構。後者因其獨特的性質和潛力引起外國分析家格外關注。中國軍事理論家認為，信息戰的勝利將屬於能夠動員最多的計算機專家參加“信息家庭戰”的那一方，他們將採用諸如網點戰那樣的戰略，設法切斷重要的信息節點和接點。
目前，中國的信息戰融合了西方、俄羅斯和中國的思想，然而，有別於俄羅斯和西方的具有中國特色的信息戰詞彙正在逐步形成。中國信息戰應從中國軍事歷史中尋找解決當今問題的答案，如３６計、信息戰的性質和特點看來非常適合這些計策。
但是，中國的信息戰方法還存在許多不足，還不僅僅是數量方面的問題。信息戰作戰理論的核心還涉及到保持基礎設施的完整性和穩定性。在信息時代，基礎設施穩定性與部隊生存能力同等重要。中國的最大弱點恰恰就在基礎設施方面。目前中國正在加速發展電子信息產業，其目的不外乎是為軍民聯用的信息基礎設施打基礎。
中國善於吸取別人的前車之鑑，可能很快就可以組建一支令人刮目相看的信息戰力量。信息戰已迫使中國跨越了若干技術發展階段，利用西方的技術，不僅節省了時間而且還節省了金錢。然而，中國可能不會完全仿效別人，而將採取創造性的或間接的信息戰策略。但不管怎麼樣，中國都是值得關注的一支不同於其他國家的信息戰力量.
