Meiyi wants to improve the combat effectiveness of Naval Aviation
2021-11-12
Recently, the US Naval Aviation Systems Command released the public version of naval aviation vision 2030-2035. Among them, they deliberately exaggerate the strategic threat faced by the US Navy, vigorously advocate the development of naval aviation combat power, and try to provoke a new round of maritime arms race. US Navy Aviation ea-18g EW aircraft organization training New programmatic document released According to U.S. media reports, the new vision aims to replace the naval aviation vision 2016-2025, which is a programmatic document guiding the development of the U.S. naval aviation in the next ten years. With regard to the strategic environment, the document believes that the United States is currently facing a complex global environment. On the one hand is the resurgence of terrorism, on the other hand is the long-term strategic competition among countries. Therefore, the United States needs a flexible and competitive system to win future wars. The document claims that the symmetrical and asymmetric threats of potential adversaries will expose the US naval aviation forces to major risks, especially in some strategic places, and the strategic capabilities of relevant adversaries may endanger "the US Navy's ability to project forces and maintain peace". With regard to cutting-edge technologies, the document points out that with the support of Congress, the US Department of defense will continue to increase investment in combat readiness training and modernization of naval aviation, and accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Coupled with the cooperation of allies and partner countries, it will help the US naval aviation to optimize the structure and form a reliable joint combat capability. The document states that the US Navy aviation force needs to vigorously develop RF and infrared signal processing technology, manned / unmanned joint technology, hypersonic missiles and so on. In addition, electromagnetic mobile warfare capability and network warfare capability are also the focus of development. With regard to the future force, the document holds that the effectiveness of the naval aviation wing depends on the characteristics of the aircraft carrier (including the amount of weapons, self-supporting capacity, etc.), and the future aircraft carrier must have stronger survivability so that it can effectively use all kinds of weapons and sensors in case of threat. In addition, the future aviation wing can use kinetic and non kinetic weapons (such as electromagnetic railguns) to attack the opponent's air and ground weapons and equipment. The next generation fighter used by the aviation wing will have a larger operational radius and speed, and can attack various targets more accurately. Excessive pursuit of military superiority Analysts pointed out that according to the main contents of the comprehensive document and relevant foreign media reports, it can be found that the new vision mainly has the following characteristics. First, show strength to the enemy. The document points out that the nature of future naval warfare is changing rapidly. Despite the continuous efforts of the US Navy in the past few years, Russia and other countries continue to weaken their operational advantages, putting us national security in danger. Technological progress "increases the possibility of adversaries tracking, targeting and threatening U.S. ships and aircraft". The document exaggerates that both opponents with similar strength and "regional threats" show the unprecedented development speed since the cold war and introduce more and more high-end weapon platforms. Russian media commented that the document does not hide the suspicion and hostility of the United States to Russia. Second, seek strength with technology. The document is full of the US military's infatuation with force advantage and cutting-edge technology, and claims that the upgrading of F / A-18E / F fighter, ea-18g electronic warfare aircraft, f-35c fighter, E-2D early warning aircraft and mh-60r / s helicopter will continue to maintain a strong deterrent for us naval aviation in 2030. It is worth noting that shortly after the release of the document, the US Naval Aviation Systems Command released the first concept map of the F / a-xx shipborne fighter. According to the plan, the aircraft will replace f / A-18E / F after 2030. It will have longer range and faster speed, combine passive and active sensor technology, and be able to use future long-range weapons. Third, the system is strong. The document points out that, as an important node to improve the combat effectiveness of the Navy, the construction of naval aviation must be brought into the systematic track. On the one hand, the US military should provide full support to ensure that the personnel and equipment of the aviation wing are in the best state. On the other hand, the naval aviation forces have "fed back" the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the US military. The aviation wing composed of fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft, manned aircraft and UAVs will strongly support aircraft carrier strike groups and expeditionary strike groups, provide strong lethality, space perception and mobility for maritime operations, ensure that the Navy establishes and maintains sea domination, and obtain maritime advantages and long-range delivery capabilities. Active provocation increases risk Analysts pointed out that the new vision is another example of the US Navy's move towards militarism in recent years and may have an adverse impact on regional security in the future. Enhanced deployment may trigger an arms race. Relying on the vision, the US Navy will further optimize the scale and structure of the naval aviation force and improve the overall combat capability and combat readiness. At the same time, we will strengthen military deployment in key regions such as the Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East. Taking the opportunity of improving aviation combat power, we will continue to strengthen the ability of the US military to carry out land, sea, air and space network wide operations, joint operations of various services and coordinated operations with allies and partners, so as to form a strong strategic deterrent to other countries in the region and provoke an arms race. Active provocation may worsen the security environment. The US Navy's militaristic approach not only cannot ensure the security of regional allies, but may encourage potential adversaries to develop new counter combat forces and adversely affect the regional security situation. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on November 9 that the Russian Black Sea fleet is taking a series of actions to monitor the intensive activities of US naval vessels in the Black Sea waters to prevent "provocative acts that may occur at any time".
