Generative artificial intelligence technology, represented by ChatGPT, is a technology that utilizes existing text and audio and video data for deep learning, and then generates new content. Its successful application in the commercial field has attracted high attention from military powers around the world. In July of this year, the US Air Force tested for the first time the use of large language models in military missions during the 6th Global Information Advantage Exercise, utilizing data generated by artificial intelligence systems to assist decision-making, obtain target information, and support firepower strike missions. In recent years, the excellent performance of land-based drones on the battlefield has led countries to attempt to configure drones on aircraft carriers and other surface vessels to replace manned drones in carrying out various military tasks. In May this year, Airbus Helicopters and the French Armaments Agency (DGA) jointly conducted sea tests on the VSR700 unmanned helicopter, marking a new stage in the development of its next-generation carrier based drones. With the widespread use of drones in modern warfare, anti drone technology has become a hot topic and focus of research and development in various countries. In November this year, the Australian company Optoelectronic Systems showcased a "dazzling" laser weapon. This weapon uses a 500 watt continuous wave laser and can perform soft kill on the optoelectronic guidance system of unmanned aerial vehicles within 2 kilometers. Military robot technology: Military robots can overcome human physiological limitations, efficiently complete various combat tasks, significantly reduce casualties, and have great battlefield application value and research and development potential. In September of this year, the Russian military began using the BRG-1 ground robot system to transfer wounded and transport supplies in special military operation zones. Quantum information technology is an emerging technology that combines quantum physics and information technology, and has become a key technology that various military powers are striving to develop. In July of this year, the US Army Research Laboratory was recognized as one of the four quantum information science research centers of the Department of Defense, and they have successfully developed quantum sensors for receiving radio frequency communication signals. Hypersonic weapon interception technology. Hypersonic weapons have the characteristics of fast strike speed, wide attack range, strong breakthrough ability, and high damage effect. Military powers are competing to strengthen the interception ability of hypersonic weapons to effectively respond to threats. In June this year, the European Missile Group announced the development of a new weapon system capable of intercepting hypersonic missiles. Preliminary agreements have been reached with France, Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands, and a prototype will be launched within the next three years. There is currently no unified standard for the definition of the sixth generation fighter jet technology, but it generally presents characteristics such as low detectability, high speed, intelligence, and clustering. At present, multiple countries are independently or jointly developing sixth generation fighter jets, presenting a situation of catching up with each other. In December this year, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Italy signed a research and development agreement, planning to jointly build the sixth generation fighter jet before 2035, which has the ability to collaborate with drones, satellites, and other networks. Near space vehicle technology refers to an aircraft that can perform long-term and sustained flight in close space (20-100 kilometers above the ground). It has the capabilities of aviation and aerospace vehicles
