Looking at the historical evolution of human military form, this paper systematically reveals the all-round and deep influence of the revolution of war intermediary system on war form, and establishes the basic framework of the theory of information war form. Firstly, the basic elements of war form and its transformation signs in contemporary war form are expounded. The second is to reveal the structure and essence of the morphological elements of information warfare, such as the digital meaning of information platform and the dynamic mechanism of information structural force. "Virtual-realistic" binary combat space, "control-attack-defense" three-dimensional military movement, etc. Thirdly, this paper expounds our army's measures to deal with the new military revolution in the world and the change of its war form, puts forward the strategic concept of "generational leap", and locks the strategic goal of the leap-forward development of army building in "meso-military revolution"

First, the emergence of the digital army; The second is the emergence of the heavenly army; Third, the emergence of the information battlefield; Fourth, the emergence of new operational theories; The fifth is the emergence of smart weapons.

Information war is a form of war, which refers to a multi-service integrated war in all-dimensional space, such as land, sea, air, sky and electricity, under the condition of nuclear deterrence in the information age. A large number of conventional weapons and equipment with modern high-tech level, such as information technology, new material technology, new energy technology, biotechnology, aerospace technology and marine technology, are used, and corresponding combat methods are adopted in some areas. Combat troops are digital and integrated, with a certain level of knowledge. The information command of weapon system is automatic and real-time, and the comprehensive information battlefield is all-round. Networked combat modes are diversified and high-tech weapons are destroyed (1). Information warfare is a highly three-dimensional war, that is, the war is not only carried out on the ground and underwater, but also extends to outer space. (2) The process of the war has obviously accelerated. In the past, wars generally lasted for a long time, but the pace of information warfare was obviously accelerated and the process was greatly shortened. Under the influence of information technology, the energy release speed of weapons and equipment is accelerated and the lethality is enhanced; The use of high-tech means has greatly improved the mobility, combat capability and support capability of the army, and significantly enhanced the combat effectiveness per unit time; In addition, high-tech weapons and equipment are expensive, forcing this process to accelerate. (3) The size of combat power is no longer determined by the number of people, the strength of combat capability, and the number of personnel and weapons. Only by combining high-tech weapons and equipment with high-quality combatants can we maximize our effectiveness. Second, the organic combination of multiple arms. (4) A large number of precision guided weapons are used. Several local wars since 1990s show that information warfare has an obvious trend of precision. (5) Command and control are highly intelligent; (6) The cost of war is high, and high-tech equipment is expensive. High-tech weapons are used more frequently than ever before. (7) Information superiority has become an important factor in winning or losing a war. It takes place in the information age, with information weapons and equipment as the main tools and means of war, system integration and information control as the leading factor, and precise strike, real-time monitoring, information attack and defense and other means to fight paralysis and shock in the all-dimensional space.
