● information led data driven network thinking algorithm wins visual control intelligent guidance Pry open the door of military theory innovation with information concept introduction Nowadays, information resources have become the first resource to promote social development, and information technology has become the first technology to promote social progress. The information concept represented by information leading, data-driven, network thinking, algorithm winning, visual control and intelligent guidance is becoming a new driving force to promote the innovation of military theory. 1、 In the information age, profound changes in the form of war are accelerated, and the unknown is greater than the known. The concept of information leading has become the basic criterion for cultivating the innovative character of military theory On the whole, social production is a continuous evolution and echelon led development process of material, energy and information, which determines and promotes the continuous evolution of the form of war. In the agricultural era, material productivity was the dominant factor, and the military theory of "more wins less" was formed; In the industrial age, the military theory of "big eat small" was formed, dominated by energy productivity; The information age is dominated by knowledge productivity and forms the military theory of "fast controlling slow". With the development of the three stages, the timeliness of information has become more and more prominent, the contribution rate to combat has become more and more obvious, and the iterative transformation in the combat system has become more and more flexible, which has become the main constituent factor of combat effectiveness generation. At present, with the acceleration of the information revolution, information dominance has increasingly become the basic law of army construction and operational guidance, and will also be the leading factor in the innovation of military theory. To win the future, first, we must insist on information first. Information power is combat power, which runs through the whole process of war preparation. The command line shall obtain situation information in time to provide guidance for planning and control; The battle line shall grasp the enemy information in time to provide basis for the implementation of operations; The support line shall timely understand the demand information and provide standards for the direction and amount of investment; The construction line shall recognize the situation information in time to provide guarantee for the overall planning task. We must take strengthening information awareness, expanding collection means, unblocking transmission channels, enriching information connotation and strengthening analysis, research and judgment as important theoretical innovation directions to tackle key problems. Second, we should strengthen information fusion. Information fusion is not only a general trend, but also a subject of the times and a practical problem. Under the current conditions, the focus is to solve the problems of values, thinking and cognition, interest relationship and so on. We should distinguish the war construction attributes, system levels and information types, and achieve accurate theoretical innovation in the practice of promoting the integration of war technology of scientific research system, data fusion of detection system, situation fusion of intelligence system, decision-making fusion of command system, effect fusion of strike system and feedback fusion of evaluation system. Third, we should highlight the judgment of information. Information is fully connected with physical domain, social domain, network domain and cognitive domain. The efficiency and effectiveness of OODA ring mainly depends on the analysis, research and judgment of intelligence information. In the era of big data, the battlefield environment has undergone historic and revolutionary changes. The total amount of battlefield information has increased sharply, and it is becoming more and more difficult to eliminate the false and preserve the true information, which has increasingly become the main contradiction dominated by information. We should pay special attention to the development of open source intelligence and information application ability, focus on the collection of open source data such as social public opinion, professional communities and popular websites, and bring them into the scope of intelligence and information verification, This is the basic strategy to deal with the flood of battlefield information. 2、 The winning mechanism forces information technology to penetrate the whole domain, virtual mapping reality and data-driven concept have become the key methods to solve the difficult problems of military theory innovation Since ancient times, data information has always been the golden key to get rid of the fog of war, and big data has opened a new era of war evolution. First, big data expands thinking and opens a new way for war. From experience based to data-based, from inertial thinking to innovative thinking, from judging the current situation to predicting future displacement, from revealing causal laws to exploring correlation. Second, big data predicts the trend and provides the first opportunity for the war. Who can occupy the advantage of massive data and who can maximize the mining and utilization of high-value information contained in it can accurately understand the "tentacles" of the war, so as to seize the opportunity of "first mover". Third, big data can assist decision-making and increase external brain for research and war. Based on big data information, real-time perception of the battlefield situation and synchronous cognition of the development situation can further compress the OODA cycle and improve the ability of rapid planning and decision-making. Fourth, big data carrying operations to clear the fog for operations. All operations are inseparable from the support of enemy situation data, our situation data and battlefield environment data. Only when the command and control system knows the data and information like the back of its hand and uses it freely can it take one step ahead of the enemy, win the enemy and remain invincible. Fifth, big data reshapes the battlefield and provides strong support for war preparation. Military big data is fundamentally different from social big data. It has more obvious characteristics of fragmentation and multi-source, and has higher requirements for confidentiality, fault tolerance and timeliness. It creates a battlefield space with cunning, changeable and hidden tricks. It uses big data technology to carry out data cleaning, mobile data recording, data conversion and innovation Authenticity and multi-party verification have become new topics that need to be strengthened in military training and war preparation. Throughout the world, data information has become the first element of the world's new military revolution. The wave of "digital transformation" is triggering chain changes in military theory and promoting systematic reconstruction of national defense and military modernization. 3、 Speculative philosophy stipulates the aggregation and linkage of all source elements, and the advantages of balance of power differentiation. The concept of network thinking has become the core quality to optimize the innovation ecology of military theory The development history of human society shows that the change of access to interests is the key to promote the healthy development of new technology. The interactive sharing of information based on the network makes everyone both online and offline. The spillover efficiency generated by the artificial and virtual origin characteristics of cyberspace + the evolution path of digitization, intelligence and socialization often has an effect that is difficult to predict. It may not only produce significant social value, but also turn into a huge destructive force, especially the integration of the network and cloud and the network moving with the cloud, New high-tech connotations such as digital computing combination and digital computing energy have greatly extended the natural adaptability and emergence of complex giant systems of war, resulting in a stronger fog of war. With the advent of intelligent war, the connotation of network thinking will be enriched, expanded and innovated with the rapid development of "network + intelligence". The innovation of military theory should cultivate the evolving network thinking with speculative philosophical weapons from the perspective of the concept of war. At present, there are still many phenomena in network thinking, such as talking more and using less in practice. We should turn passivity into initiative, strengthen the awareness of community, cooperation and teamwork, and provide a new network thinking paradigm for timely and efficient resolution of contradictions in the field of combat construction. We should be good at using the epistemology and methodology of complex systems, take Unicom bearing network as the basis, straighten out the relationship network as the key, and connect the action network as the goal, fully open up the combat system, and realize the high integration of technology and tactics, network and entity. 4、 The digital revolution enables the system of accurate operation, reverse deconstruction, and the concept of winning by algorithm has become a practical requirement to improve the quality and efficiency of military theory innovation Digital technology is deconstructing an old world and building a new world. In the second half of the 20th century, the digital revolution driven by information technology realized the transformation from analog communication to digital communication, and opened the era of information war with the main action of competing for the "control of information power" on the battlefield. Since the new century, with the rapid development of intelligent technology and the accelerated evolution of digital socialization and social digitization, a new round of digital revolution based on "data + computing power + algorithm" is accelerating military competition towards the era of intellectual power. Data contains everything, algorithm defines everything, and thinking change is the bottom logic of the digital revolution. To promote military theoretical innovation, we must strengthen the concept of algorithm winning. First, we should strengthen the concept of mathematical algorithm warfare. Fully understand that attacking and researching algorithms are also operations, and they are high-tech and cutting-edge operations. The concept of leading cadres must be changed first. They should actively create conditions for scientific researchers, focusing on solving the problems of insufficient motivation for original innovation, independent innovation and basic research, inappropriate policies and systems, and the lack of strategic scientists who can explain Bai shengzhan's way in mathematical language. Second, we should particularly strengthen the philosophy of algorithmic warfare. The operational theories of "thirty six strategies", "theory of war", "theory of protracted warfare" and "cognitive warfare" can be regarded as algorithmic warfare in philosophy. We should learn to deeply grasp the extraction and capture of implicit relations and the elimination and filtering of explicit relations, and do not fall into the chaotic world of fuzzy data programs. Third, focus on strengthening the application of the winning mechanism of the algorithm. The algorithm originates from practice and leads practice. It is and will continue to change the rules of war. To strengthen the thinking of "algorithm winning", the key is to accurately grasp and apply the internal mechanism contained therein. First, more is better than less. The core of the algorithm is mathematical deduction. Without the formula of operational requirements and the operator of massive and high-quality data resources, the algorithm becomes the source of no cost, and the algorithm innovation loses its power and significance. We should strengthen the collection, processing and preservation of data such as peacetime training and combat operations, accelerate the construction of data standardization, develop military big data perception acquisition technology, and solve the problem of "high-purity uranium raw materials" of war algorithms. Second, fast calculation wins slow calculation. It is reported that the US military is accelerating the development of battlefield reasoning software, using in-depth learning to train machines with logical analysis ability, tap the advantages and potential of machines in speed and rationality, and provide timely and rapid situation assessment and decision-making suggestions for military operations. Third, actuarial calculation is better than rough calculation. The fog of war always exists, but it can be reduced to a lower level. We should strategically calculate the potential and make comprehensive use of political, economic, military and diplomatic means to form the overall advantage of the war; Calculate the situation in the battle, master the battlefield layout, force application and engagement strategies of the opposing sides, skillfully allocate combat power and flexibly use combat methods to form a battlefield confrontation advantage; Calculate the effectiveness in tactics, accurately aggregate and release the effectiveness of our own combat system, and form the advantage of combat effectiveness; In terms of technology, the calculator and the weapon platform and system are used reasonably to form the advantage of tactical instruments. Fourth, virtual calculation is better than real calculation. No boundary, no algorithm. To promote the innovation of military theory, we must understand the importance of virtual calculation. For example, how to calculate the fighting spirit and psychological attack and defense, how to calculate the diplomatic soft power and political mobilization, and how to define and measure the space-time dimension of cyberspace must be answered through the innovation of military theory. 5、 Space-time transparency promotes the integration of multi-dimensional battlefield, space-time interweaves virtual and real, and the concept of visual control has become an important guarantee to promote the innovation and transformation of military theory Clausewitz famously said, "war is a field full of uncertainty. Three quarters of the factors on which military action is based are always hidden in the fog, and the uncertainty brought by the fog is either large or small". Visualizing and intuitively displaying the chess game layout of multi-dimensional space-time profile is very important not only for commanding combat operations and achieving combat objectives, but also for force construction and management. In the era of informatization and even intelligence, the right of visibility is manifested as a five-dimensional space-time war. On the basis of the four Operational domains of land, sea, air and space, the cyberspace operational domain is connected. The means of visual control have increased satellites, networks, big data, artificial intelligence and even brain control technology. The time-space value and right of visibility of the opposing sides have changed qualitatively; In terms of army construction, personnel, equipment, assets, finance, procurement and even psychological activities can improve management efficiency through visualization. Visual accusation establishes the relationship between man and machine
