Grasp the essentials of intelligent combat research ■ Liu Haijiang introduction The era of intelligence has come, and intelligent warfare, as a new combat style, has begun to appear on the war stage. At present, the world's military powers are scrambling to accelerate research and practice in the innovation of intelligent combat concept, the R & D and application of intelligent technology, the upgrading of unmanned cluster system and the multi domain integration of man-machine power. In the face of the general trend, only by finding the entry point to promote intelligent warfare, grasping the key point of intelligent winning mechanism and seizing the starting point of battlefield intelligent game, can we better promote the continuous deepening of intelligent warfare research and win the initiative in the future battlefield. Identify the entry point to promote intelligent warfare Intelligent warfare is the product of a specific era of human society. Its breeding process involves a wide range of fields and many factors affecting its development. It is a comprehensive contest of military confrontation groups. Facing the booming intelligent warfare, we need to scientifically grasp the essential attributes of intelligent warfare and find the entry point to promote intelligent warfare with the help of the long and wide perspective of social development. Identify the development direction based on social production. Engels once profoundly pointed out that human beings will carry out war in whatever way they carry out social production. Throughout the development of human society, scientific and technological revolution is usually the precursor of industrial revolution, which promotes rapid economic growth and leads to major social transformation. Military revolution is the result of the joint action of scientific and technological revolution, industrial revolution and war demand. In the era of mechanization, the prosperity of industrial production makes the rapid mass production of aircraft, artillery and other mobile platforms. The "flash war" represented by armor cluster assault came into being. In the era of intelligence, the industrial revolution driven by intelligent technologies such as unmanned platform and artificial intelligence brain will certainly promote the development of intelligent warfare in the direction of "intelligent decision-making + self-organized unmanned cluster". Explore the key to winning the war through pre practice. War is the concrete embodiment of human social practice. The "sixteen character formula" in the Red Army period, the guerrilla war during the Anti Japanese War, and the "zero cracker Kraft sugar" in the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea are the sublimation of the wisdom of war practice. However, intelligent warfare has great impact, strong explosive force and high trial and error cost. To "learn war in war", we not only need to keep up with the latest armed conflicts, military exercises and non war operations, but also make good use of advanced technology to carry out "pre practice". Accumulate data schemes by means of digital twinning, parallel deduction and independent learning, increase practical experience by combining training practice, real cases and crisis handling, and find the key to victory in advance through the virtuous cycle of "Scene Simulation - situation test - situation test". Focus on the expansion methods of confrontation focus. War is a real contest of comprehensive strength between belligerents, and its distinctive antagonism is its essential attribute. Cold weapon war shows the charging and killing of cavalry units and infantry arrays. Hot weapon war focuses on the competition between fire launch and protection and resistance. Mechanized war emphasizes the competition between mobile assault and defense in depth. Information war highlights the precise operation based on network information system. Intelligent warfare pursues "one chess player with one skill" and "one intelligence with one chip". The focus of confrontation lies in intelligent decision-making and intelligent action. It needs to improve skills and special projects through performance and training links, strong elements, project attack algorithms and strong technology, train people and strong teams through courses, and promote integration and strong system through confrontation. Grasp the key points of intelligent winning mechanism The biggest difference between intelligent warfare and traditional warfare lies in the winning mechanism. To deepen the research and practice of intelligent warfare, we need to firmly grasp the era characteristics and key elements of "intelligence", accurately grasp the winning mechanism of intelligent warfare through consideration and analysis in multiple fields, dimensions and perspectives, and open an intelligent channel for military training and preparation. Examine the degree of overall emergence of the system. It mainly depends on whether the intelligent combat system has the "1 + 1gt; 2" effect caused by the function combination of new or larger subsystems. The traditional war of annihilation pursues the principle of "effectively killing and wounding the enemy's effective forces", and destroys the enemy's entire system through the superposition and accumulation of "hitting units" and "hitting elements". Especially since the information war, the overall emergence degree of combat system has become the core and key of system confrontation. Under the action of advanced science and technology, system platforms such as intelligent perception and information processing, intelligent command and control and auxiliary decision-making, multi-functional unmanned warfare are widely used, virtual space and reality dimensions interact, artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms stimulate each other, and machine autonomy and man-machine integration complement each other, effectively promoting the emergence of a large number of overall functions of the combat system. Pay attention to the depth of intelligent feature embedding. It mainly focuses on the effect of "intelligence +" "+ intelligence" on the combat system. The command and control of information war highlights the rapid transmission of a large amount of information through the network. Both sides fight for speed and accuracy. The command and control of intelligent operation pays more attention to the intelligent and sensitive system, efficient man-machine cooperation and flexible and independent operation. The development direction is from "multi commander + remote control platform" to "simple command platform". Under the action of advanced science and technology, command and control has changed from "human experience centered" to "data and model centered" intelligent decision-making with the help of big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. Compare the breadth of man-machine collaborative coverage. It mainly depends on the multi domain coupling degree of combat forces such as manned platforms and unmanned clusters, the coverage of multi domain operations, and the flexibility of cross domain attack and defense. Information warfare emphasizes synchronous action, networking and efficiency. Intelligent warfare focuses on multi domain, highly mobile and distributed attack, highlighting superior cognition, small, broad, accurate and flexible. Under the action of advanced science and technology, the intelligence and cognitive ability of the combat weapon platform have been greatly improved. The low-cost unmanned cluster can carry out independent and cooperative operations against the rapidly changing battlefield situation and different combat targets, and carry out distributed killing and saturation attacks. The combat system will be expressed as a highly intelligent "machine + man + network", and the combat operations will be carried out in the way of "human brain + intelligent system". Measure the strength of mental guidance and control. It mainly depends on the application and function of the means of mental depth guidance and control. The boundary between the humanization of intelligent combat weapons and the weaponization of combatants will be more blurred, and the control of personnel itself will become the focus. The "cognitive control war", which aims to control the human brain and consciousness, may evolve into an important combat style. Based on brain reading and brain control technology, using mental guidance and control means, we can grasp the enemy commander's strategic intention, combat attempt and combat methods in real time, and even directly act on the enemy's brain, or "inject" our own consciousness in the form of EEG coding to interfere with or control their consciousness, thinking and psychology, so as to realize the in-depth control of the combatants and achieve the command and decision-making of disturbing the enemy The effect of destroying the enemy's combat strength and disturbing the enemy's morale. Check the speed of consumption and damage supplement. It mainly focuses on the level of intelligent combat system to implement rapid intelligent support, independently supplement consumption and ensure sustainability and stability. Under the action of advanced science and technology, the intelligence of combat weapon platform has been greatly improved, and the mission can be carried out under extreme conditions such as high temperature, high pressure and high radiation through remote control or independent operation. Intelligent groups such as unmanned clusters, intelligent teams and AI military divisions make the battlefield game transition from physical killing to intelligent machine fighting. Based on the Internet plus IOT and knowledge networking, the intelligent complex network self repairing supply and mutual disassembly combination will reduce the casualty probability of the war personnel and ensure the input and consumption of resources. Grasp the starting point of battlefield intelligent game To further promote the research and practice of intelligent warfare, we need to closely follow the transfer of the focus of winning laws, focus on war preparation and make solid progress. Enhance the ability of intelligent competition. For intelligent combat confrontation, network system is the support, advanced algorithm is the core, and data link is the key, which is also the focus to improve the level of intelligent combat. Specifically, it includes the algorithm design, algorithm control, algorithm confrontation and the operation mode and program method of "human brain + intelligent brain" based on the idea of "Internet plus". Promote the research and development of intelligent decision-making system and the practice test of exercise and training, study and judge the combat system structure composition, element distribution and node links of both belligerents, systematically sort out the key objectives, strengths and weaknesses in the combat system, formulate interference and destruction modes, preset concealed protection methods, and enrich the system countermeasures. Deeply study the enemy's algorithm loopholes, model defects and data errors, and use its "machine dependence" and thinking set to skillfully set up a situation to force the enemy to comply. Improve the level of multi domain linkage. Intelligent warfare usually involves many fields such as physical domain, information domain and cognitive domain. Multi domain optimization, wide area linkage and cross domain energy accumulation are the key requirements for the implementation of intelligent warfare. In 2021, the Russian army laid a "death array" for the opponent's UAV by distributing "battlefield-21" electronic warfare equipment, upgrading "armor SM" air defense system and exercise inspection. To do a good job in multi domain linkage, we need to analyze the multi domain confrontation means of the belligerents, accurately evaluate the effectiveness of multi factors, and highlight the key links, supporting countermeasures and operational methods. The system deploys strategic, operational and tactical forces, expands the "killing chain" with mature optimization mode, directional undertaking and simple links, and innovates and upgrades the "killing network" with intelligent combination, efficiency matching and flexibility. By comprehensively using the means of physical destruction and node collapse, we can form an active situation of controlling the battlefield in all directions and in all time and space and directly intimidating the enemy's center of gravity, so as to effectively lock in the final victory. Upgrade the damage toughness standard. The system confrontation of intelligent warfare still needs materials, energy and personnel as the basic support. It is particularly necessary to improve the system survivability, toughness standard and repair efficiency with the help of intelligent system terminals and methods. We need to accurately grasp the changes of national security and military struggle situation, pay close attention to the changes of science and technology, war and opponents, break the fixed mode and nature constraints of element application in the traditional combat system according to the characteristics of different battlefield environments and the laws of action of the opposite party, and realize function redevelopment and element reuse through technology integration, heterogeneous hinge and data conversion. With the help of system self-organization optimization and redundant node supplement, we need to carry out independent repair and intelligent support to resist the enemy's attack and paralysis. In particular, we need to highlight the cultivation of people's comprehensive quality, sharpen the quality of will, tenacious fighting style, and strike the troops from difficulties and strictness according to the needs of actual combat, so as to effectively generate the new quality ability of intelligent combat.
