Applying the theory of productive forces and relations of production to the field of military science in China, we can say that military technology (productive forces) determines military theory and military operational system (relations of production), and in turn, military theory and military operational system will affect the development of military technology. What is decisive is the development of military technology.
To discuss the development of China's military equipment, we should first review the development history of human military technology. Before World War I, the equipment of military technology was mainly cold weapons such as knives and guns. With the outbreak of western industrial revolution at the end of 19, large-scale industrial production in World War I brought mankind into the era of hot weapons and equipment, and mechanized hot weapons and equipment were brought to the extreme in World War II. After World War II, the large-scale appearance of thermonuclear weapons was enough to destroy mankind itself, so there was a terrible cold peace. If thermonuclear weapons technology is a little scary, it will kill everyone, which means a little mutually assured destruction. Then, the emergence of aerospace and IT information technology in the 50 years after World War II has pushed us into the era of information-based thermonuclear weapons and equipment, that is, the era of thermonuclear weapons and equipment in the information-based industrial society in which we human beings live today. Therefore, one of the hottest technical terms appeared today: discovery means being eliminated. You want to die with someone else. If you can't find someone else, you have already been killed by others. This also means that whoever can catch the bull's ear of military technology can find the enemy first and rule the law first.
Characteristics of military technology development in the era of information thermonuclear weapons and countermeasures for the development of military equipment in China;
First, the development direction of thermonuclear weapon equipment technology and China's countermeasures.
1, vehicle diversification
From land-based, space-based, sea-based and space-based (multi-warhead, maneuver and orbit change highlight higher penetration capability).
2. Diversification of warheads
From high pollution and high radiation-low pollution and low radiation-cleaning (from deterrence to actual combat);
From uranium bombs and hydrogen bombs to higher explosive power.
3. Normalization of warheads
The miniaturization of warhead is applied to conventional equipment of land, sea and air, which makes it practical.
4. The command system is networked
Land-based, space-based, sea-based and space-based are interconnected through IT information technology to form a joint force and achieve a higher, stronger, ubiquitous and more convincing deterrent force.
5. Operational principles
Finally, we will shift from strategic deterrence to practical application.
The current development direction of nuclear weapons in the United States reflects the above development trend. We might as well imagine how serious the threat to any opponent's weapon platform will be if miniaturized, high-explosive and clean nuclear warheads are applied to conventional weapons and equipment. No matter how powerful the other side's aircraft carrier fleet, fleet, ground armor group and other platforms are, several or dozens can paralyze their own platforms; No matter how powerful the opponent's fortifications and high-value targets on the ground are, a hundred dollars can be merciless.
Therefore, as far as the development of China's nuclear military equipment is concerned, it is necessary to invest elite troops at all costs, seek breakthroughs in miniaturization, high explosive power and clean technology of nuclear weapons, move forward in the practical direction of nuclear weapons, and strive to catch up with or even catch up with the United States in the development direction of this series of nuclear military technologies.
Once China's nuclear military equipment technology has made a breakthrough in this direction (actual combat) and occupied the commanding heights of this military technology, the arguments about conventional military equipment, such as aircraft carriers and submarines, seem pale and powerless.
Second, the current development direction of conventional weapons and equipment technology and China's countermeasures.
1, long-range strike
Satellite communication, radar and missile technology provide guarantee for long-range strike. It is possible to achieve zero casualties in combat.
2. Generalization and standardization
Aircraft, missiles, radar, electronic communication and other equipment on land, sea and air are developing in the direction of standardization and generalization. Generalization and standardization are convenient for mass production, production cost reduction, rapid assembly, maintenance and upgrading.
3. Large-scale
Large platforms can provide good working space for soldiers, and also greatly strengthen the carrying of attack power and long-range force delivery.
Step 4 be precise
Satellite positioning technology has inserted wings for precision-guided bombs, and when it is found, it can aim at and destroy it.
5. Invisible
Shape design technology and new materials can prove that the target of weapon platform becomes relatively invisible, making opponents passively beaten.
6. Electronics
Electronic technology enables soldiers to automatically operate the weapon platform, and the same platform can save manpower and cost.
Electronic jamming technology can make the opponent unable to find the target, which is similar to stealth technology.
7. Miniaturization
Miniaturizing all kinds of weapon platforms can make them parasitic on the opponent's weapon platforms and achieve the purpose of destroying the opponent's weapon platforms.
8. Unmanned automation
Humanized automation of weapon platform is also a part of miniaturization. Unmanned operation can reduce the battle damage of personnel and adapt to the battlefield environment of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
9. Information network
Information networking of weapon platform (C4IR data link technology, etc. ) is a place where the development of conventional military technology should be written in detail. Through the application of military technology, information network technology can realize the interconnection of various weapons platforms and personnel on land, sea and air, effectively integrate the resources of various weapons platforms, organically unify the nodes of various weapons platforms, and share various battlefield information, thus forming a strong resultant force in actual combat.
The American Iraq war in 2003 can be said to be the concentrated expression of the above-mentioned modern conventional war military technology, and it is also the most classic contemporary conventional war.
Judging from China's current national conditions, compared with the above-mentioned modern conventional weapons and equipment technology, it is unrealistic for China to catch up in all aspects, but we can focus on several major aspects to seek breakthroughs or catch up.
Countermeasures for the development of conventional weapons and equipment in China;
1, continue to fully develop space technology.
This is the commanding height of all military technology development, and all military equipment platforms are subject to this commanding height technology. The militarization of outer space is the only virgin land on our planet. Although we do not advocate the militarization of outer space in a high-profile way, it would be a big mistake if we really think and do so. Space technology is one of the places where China has the greatest potential to catch up with the United States. Don't say you got it. As long as we don't lose to it, as long as we firmly grasp this commanding height, the United States will never dare to act rashly against China. Because space technology is the commanding height of all cyber warfare nodes, imagine that if the GPS communication satellite in the United States is destroyed, all long-range and precise strikes by the US military will be in vain.
Let's not talk about it, but slowly and steadily develop China's space technology.
2. Construction of large-scale conventional weapons platform
I am a supporter of "aircraft carrier", "strategic submarine" and "large military aircraft". These three weapon platforms are all conventional deterrent forces. As a superpower (you don't think so, but you don't think so), these three are indispensable. The first problem is to solve the problem of what is and what is not, not to ask how advanced the technology is. With such a weapon platform, the above-mentioned individual technologies are not advanced, and we can gradually improve and upgrade and constantly improve them. Because in today's information technology era, any advanced technology cannot exist forever and cannot be surpassed.
If we have an aircraft carrier now, I'm afraid its overall technology is not as good as that of the United States (you know, the hulls of several aircraft carriers in active service in the United States were also built decades ago). I think 10 years, its overall technology will be flat, as long as one or several technologies surpass it, we can compete with it.
3. Information network node attack technology.
We all seem to deify the information network war between Iraq and the United States in 2003. In fact, information network warfare also has its fatal place-if one or several nodes of each weapon platform are knocked out, the US troops on the battlefield will become headless flies and cannot find the north. For example, ballistic missiles hit aircraft carriers, anti-radiation missiles hit early warning aircraft, lasers hit satellites, cyber hackers and so on. Therefore, as long as we break through or surpass several technologies, we can break the myth of cyber warfare.
In fact, compared with Russia and even China, the single weapon platform of the US military has great advantages, and the biggest advantage is the system integration capability. Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of the information network combat power of the US military.
The military technology mentioned above is the first and most important development at present, which does not mean that other technologies will not be developed, but only in the process of catching up.
As a big country, it is ultimately necessary to achieve the balanced development of the overall military technology and pursue the overall confrontation of the system. At the same time, there must be several or several technologies to seize the commanding heights. With the commanding heights, you can not be controlled by others, you can not blindly follow others, and you will never lag behind others.
