Emerging technologies are driving the accelerated evolution of war forms and methods in multiple directions

How Emerging Technologies Change the Face of War? Chen Qiben and Hu Shiyue Throughout the history of human development, technology has always been the most active and revolutionary factor in military development, and every major technological progress and innovation will trigger profound changes in the military field. In today's era, a new round of technological breakthroughs and industrial upgrades are constantly emerging, and a large number of emerging technological achievements are migrating to the military field, promoting the accelerated evolution of war forms and combat methods. Facing future wars, we should deeply grasp the trend of military transformation, closely monitor the forefront of technological development, strengthen the traction of operational needs, contemplate changes in operational methods, and actively seize the initiative in military competition. Innovative thinking concepts in emerging technologies. Lenin once said that without understanding the times, one cannot understand war. If we look at the evolution of combat methods from a technological perspective, the most representative technological achievements of each era often determine the human combat methods of that era. While technology is transforming combat methods, it is also subverting or even forcing people to abandon outdated concepts, constantly giving rise to new thinking and concepts in the military field. In recent years, world military powers have continuously promoted the application of intelligent technology in military affairs and the research and development of advanced weapons and equipment, proposed new combat concepts, explored combat methods in the era of information and intelligence, and sought to win the initiative in future wars. In the era of rapid development of emerging technologies, we should resolutely break through the constraints of traditional concepts, actively innovate our thinking concepts, explore new mechanisms for winning wars, develop new areas and new qualitative forces, lead the transformation of combat styles, and better control and win wars. Emerging technologies open up new territories. The combat space is a space area that carries human warfare activities and is also an important stage for the continuous development and innovation of human combat methods. The development of technology not only continuously opens up new spaces for human production and life, but also brings about the continuous expansion of military combat space. Looking at the development and evolution of combat space, it presents a transformation process from planar space to three-dimensional space, from physical space to virtual space, and from single dimensional single domain space to multi-dimensional composite space. In the era of information and intelligence, the ability of humans to open up new territories has greatly improved, and the dimensions of combat space are also constantly increasing. From traditional land, sea, air, and space expansion to networks, electromagnetic and other spaces, the competition for the dominance of combat space among countries around the world is becoming increasingly fierce. In future wars, whoever has the freedom of operation and action in the new domain space will have operational advantages and even the ability to "reduce dimensionality" against opponents. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately grasp the new dimensions and characteristics of the combat space brought about by technological development, develop corresponding combat forces, and actively seize the advantage of space control in future operations. Emerging technologies are advancing equipment upgrades. Weapons and equipment are the materialized manifestation of science and technology in the military field, and are the most critical material foundation for combat effectiveness. In a sense, the renewal of combat means depends on the upgrading of weapons and equipment. The earliest weapons and sabres were simply extensions of the functions of human organ. The emergence of tanks, aircraft and other weapons soon brought mankind into the era of mechanized war, while modern weapons and equipment supported by information networks have greatly expanded human war capabilities. Technological innovation continuously promotes the iterative upgrading of weapons and equipment, bringing continuous combat power, mobility, and information power to weapons and equipment
