introduction Combat form is the manifestation and state of combat under certain conditions, which is usually adapted to certain war forms and combat methods. With the development and wide application of intelligent weapon system, intelligent warfare in the future will show a completely different form from mechanized and information warfare. Combat system supported by cloud Alliance Combat system is the basic support for the aggregation and release of combat energy. The information-based combat system is based on the network information system, while the intelligent combat system is supported by the combat cloud. Combat cloud can organically reorganize the Distributed Combat resources to form a flexible and dynamic combat resource pool. It has the characteristics of virtualization, connectivity, distribution, easy expansion and on-demand service. It provides the possibility for each combat unit to obtain resources on demand. It is an important support for cross domain coordination and has become a new organizational form of intelligent combat system. The combat system supported by cloud alliance is to use cloud technology to connect information and physical systems with the ubiquitous Internet of things, and highly share the multidimensional combat data of land, sea, air and space by configuring the combat resource cloud at different levels and scales, so as to realize the integration of battlefield resources in land, sea, air, space, electricity, network and other combat areas, so as to gather various combat elements into cloud, Complete the mesh interaction of battlefield data. The combat system supported by cloud alliance enables the integrated information processing of joint operations to integrate the battlefield intelligence information widely distributed in space, air, ground, sea and underwater combat platforms under the support of information network technologies such as big data and cloud computing, and distribute it on demand in real time and seamlessly between combat platforms in various domains, so as to realize the cross domain integration of battlefield information Efficient sharing; With the help of the intelligent command and control system, the command organizations at all levels can carry out multiple intelligence intelligent interpretation, evaluate the battlefield situation, optimize the operation plan, make the operation determination, draw up the operation plan and regulate the action of the troops; Under the information support of high integration and cross domain integration, through the efficient scheduling and management and control of the cloud alliance support combat system, all combat forces can quickly and flexibly adjust, optimize the configuration and regroup online according to the real-time combat requirements, form an adaptive task combat group and implement decentralized energy gathering operations. At the same time, through the battlefield information cross domain fusion capability of combat cloud, it can also form an operational whole of intelligent combat forces and traditional combat forces, manned combat forces and unmanned combat forces, invisible space combat forces and tangible space combat forces, and realize the high integration of different combat units and combat elements in land, sea, air, space, electricity, network and other spaces in the cloud Overall linkage, optimization and energy release, and implement cross domain and cross generation cooperative operations, so as to realize the transformation of overall combat effectiveness from gradual release and linear superposition of combat effects in the past to non-linear, emergent, adaptive and other effects integration and accurate energy release. Battlefield distribution of decentralized energy accumulation Concentrating superior forces is an eternal operational principle. With the continuous improvement of the network information system and the wide application of intelligent weapon systems, all combat forces, combat units and combat elements can be dynamically integrated into and rely on the joint combat system to disperse troops, quickly change tasks and dynamically aggregate efficiency, so as to deal with the complex and changeable battlefield situation, It has become a force formation form of intelligent operation, which is different from information operation. The battlefield situation of decentralized energy accumulation is a joint operation system supported by cloud alliance. With the help of high sharing and rapid flow of information, through node deployment, networked mobility and virtual centralization, all combat elements, weapon platforms and combat support systems distributed in multi-dimensional and broad battlefield space can be combined in real time, dynamically and flexibly, Realize the distributed deployment of combat forces, the reorganization of combat modules on demand, and the cross domain integration of combat effectiveness. The battlefield situation distribution of decentralized energy accumulation enables commanders at all levels to conduct in-depth perception and accurate prediction of the battlefield situation through auxiliary methods such as big data analysis, battlefield situation acquisition and multi-source intelligence verification of the intelligent command information system, so as to quickly and efficiently predict the situation and distribute early warning; So that various combat forces and combat units deployed in a wide area and flexibly configured can respond in time according to the predetermined combat plan or the needs of cooperative combat on the spot, and focus on the key nodes of the enemy's combat system and high-value objectives related to the overall strategic situation in a key time and space with flexible and independent cross domain linkage, rapid gathering and dispersion, and dynamic centralized combat effectiveness, Quickly form the combat advantage of the system, and accurately release the combat effectiveness through the high toughness and networked killing chain, so as to produce the overall advantage spillover effect, so as to form the overwhelming advantage of multi domain to one domain and global to local. Especially in the process of releasing combat effectiveness, based on the driving role of "intelligence + data", according to the pre combat plan, supported by the joint combat intelligence data updated and distributed in real time, and combined with the group's own battlefield dynamic perception, each combat group can independently carry out online re planning of combat tasks around the combat objectives, and according to the combat functions of each combat unit in the group According to the reality of superior ability and long-term ability, the network carries out automatic target allocation, so as to use their strengths and make full use of their advantages, flexibly mobilize the "material + energy" of the operation to gather and disperse freely, and finally realize the rapid matching and integration in the target, situation, task, ability and opportunity, so as to form the energy flow of the focusing target and form the system energy release effect against the enemy. Command and control of man-machine integration The development history of battle command shows that the decision-making and control methods in battle command activities always adapt to the development of the times. With the maturity of artificial intelligence technology and the continuous development of self generation, self-organization and self evolution of military intelligence systems, all kinds of weapon systems will develop from information-based "low intelligence" to brain like "high intelligence", the combat style will develop from information-based system combat to man-machine cooperative combat supported by the system, and the autonomy of war subjects is becoming stronger and stronger, The command and control system is becoming more and more intelligent. Giving full play to the comparative advantages of "man-machine" and implementing decision-making and control through "man-machine integration" mode is a new command form of intelligent warfare in the future. The command and control of human-computer integration is to give full play to the complementary advantages of human brain and machine intelligence and realize the integration of command art and technology under the support of reasonable division of human-computer functions and efficient decision-making of human-computer interaction. In the process of intelligent operation decision-making and action, it can quickly, accurately, scientifically and efficiently analyze and judge the situation, design the operation concept and determine the operation determination The preparation of operational plans, the issuance of orders and instructions and other activities, and adopt the "man on the loop" monitoring mode of combining the independent action of the intelligent combat platform and the timely correction of errors by the operators to organize and implement operational actions. During the planning and decision-making of man-machine integration command and control, under the guidance of the commander, the combat cloud can be constructed through ubiquitous battlefield network, intelligent auxiliary decision-making system and distributed intelligent combat platform. The intelligent "cloud brain" based on model and algorithm can carry out intelligent auxiliary decision-making, command and control and evaluation deduction, and combine "human strategy" with "strategic strategy", Give play to the respective advantages of human brain and machine, realize the deep integration of command strategy art and intelligent support technology, and greatly improve the speed and correctness of command and decision-making; During operation control, staff officers can synchronously perceive the changes of battlefield situation in real time with the help of intelligent battlefield perception system, task planning system and command and control system according to the basic principle of "synchronous perception - immediate response - Flexible disposal", based on unified space-time benchmark and multi-dimensional networked reconnaissance and surveillance system, Make comprehensive use of auxiliary analysis tools to compare and analyze the differences between the current situation and the expected objectives and their impact, correct the deviation in time, regulate the action of the troops on the occasion, and always maintain the operational advantage; During the operation, the command and control of the intelligent combat platform by the operators of various weapon systems at all levels can make timely and accurate intervention according to the development and changes of the battlefield situation, so as to ensure that the intelligent combat platform always acts under the control of people and always according to the overall combat intention while giving full play to the high-speed, high-precision and high autonomous combat ability of the intelligent combat platform. Autonomous and coordinated operations It is an important operational principle and requirement for commanders at all levels to seize fighters, adapt to changes and act quickly in the rapidly changing battlefield, win advantages and defeat the enemy. In the past, due to the constraints of many factors such as information acquisition, command and control means and battlefield coordination ability, it was difficult to realize the real independent cooperative operation. With the continuous development of information technology, cooperative control technology, especially artificial intelligence technology and its wide application in the military field, autonomous cooperative operation will become the most common cooperative form of intelligent operation in the future. Independent and coordinated combat action means that under the support of multi-dimensional coverage, seamless network connection, on-demand extraction of information resources and flexible and fast organizational support of cloud environment, all combat forces use the "edge response" intelligence processing system and the battlefield situation intelligent research and judgment system of big data to quickly obtain, process and share battlefield situation information, With little or no reliance on the control of the superior command organization, accurately and comprehensively grasp the intelligence information related to its actions, and actively and actively organize operations and coordinated actions according to the changes of the enemy situation and the unified operational intention. Autonomous and coordinated operations, while improving the operational autonomy of the organization at the same level, what's more, all kinds of intelligent weapon systems have the ability to understand the operational intention and highly adaptive coordination. They can automatically complete the "OODA" cycle with little or no personnel intervention, form a complete and closed "adaptive" loop, and efficiently carry out complex and dangerous combat tasks, In the rapidly changing battlefield environment, the personnel can independently detect and process the enemy's and our own attack information, and be able to independently identify and accurately track the enemy's and our own targets in the battlefield environment. Moreover, in combat, intelligent weapon systems in different spaces can form a combat effectiveness generation link of "situation sharing, synchronous cooperation, gathering and releasing energy" around the unified combat objectives with the development of battlefield situation and combat needs. According to the principle of "who is suitable, who is in charge, who is beneficial and who is attacking", they can cooperate independently to integrate the dispersed firepower, information power Mobility and protection are accurately released on the most appropriate targets at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate way to independently organize combat operations. In addition, the highly intelligent weapon system can not only adapt to the high-risk and complex combat environment, overcome human limitations in physiology and psychology, and enter the global and multidimensional limit space to carry out tasks, but also carry out continuous operations with far more than human perception accuracy, computing speed and endurance, and independently implement simultaneous cluster attacks and multi wave continuous attacks, Form a sustained high-intensity suppression situation against the enemy and quickly achieve the purpose of operation.
