Through the comprehensive analysis of recent wars, I think the development trend of information warfare can be summarized by "one center, eight characteristics". That is, information control is the center, and it is characterized by integration, networking, accuracy, real-time, multi-dimensional, limited, socialized and unmanned. The so-called information control right refers to the right to obtain, use and control battlefield information by using battlefield awareness system, communication system, command and control system and fire attack system with information technology as the core. The right to control information dominates the initiative to compete for air superiority, sea superiority, land superiority and sky superiority. Without information control, war has no control and initiative, so it can only be fought passively. Therefore, the struggle between information attack and protection will run through the whole war, and it is the center of contention between the warring parties. Because the information battlefield has broken the single battlefield pattern of mechanized wars such as land battlefield, sea battlefield and air battlefield, the war has become a contest of combat systems. In the overall contest of this system, the initiative of any battlefield can't control the whole battlefield situation. Whether it is land battlefield, war battlefield or air battlefield, it is necessary to rely on the overall combat system to coordinate operations. As the battlefield initiative of leading and communicating with each other on the battlefield of land, sea and air, the right to control information will obviously become the focus of contention between the warring parties. Integration is the inevitable result of extensive cross-infiltration of information technology. In information warfare, G4ISR system, information warfare equipment, precision guided weapons and information warfare platform are the main weapons and equipment, which are seamlessly connected through the global information grid to form an all-round, all-weather and all-weather integrated and real-time combat system. Mainly reflected in two aspects. The first is the integration of combat systems. In the information war, all kinds of barriers that hinder the enjoyment of information and the optimal integration and utilization of resources will be broken, material strength and spiritual strength will be integrated, six systems of reconnaissance and early warning, command and control, maneuver, strike, protection and guarantee will be integrated, and the combat capability will increase exponentially. The second is the integration of combat operations. The use of various services and arms is entirely based on the ever-changing battlefield situation. The task is adjusted at any time, the energy is aggregated at any time, the situation is judged at any time, the military action cycle is getting faster and faster, and the combat effect is multiplied. As long as the right information can be transmitted to the right person and weapon system in the right form and in the right place, it doesn't matter who wears the clothes of which service. Networking means that the warring parties will mainly rely on network power for command, control, communication and monitoring, and the operational focus will be strategic nodes with pivotal significance. The most prominent representatives are GIG (Global Information Grid) and GCCS (Global Command and Control System), as well as a large number of various tactical Internet. Precision means that the warring parties will focus on precision operations, and the development of weapons and equipment will develop in the direction of precision. With the rapid development of microelectronics technology, guidance technology and engine technology, the hit accuracy of future precision-guided weapons can achieve zero deviation, the strike distance can reach tens of thousands of kilometers, the flight speed can reach Mach 8 to 10 or even higher, the anti-jamming ability and all-weather combat ability can be further improved, the performance can be more perfect, and the strike efficiency can be more excellent. Real-time refers to an army with information superiority, which can not only find all the important targets in the combat space in time, but also enable all the participating troops to enjoy the combat information in real time, and even carry out coordinated and joint operations. The speed of ballistic missiles reaches Mach 15, and the speed of tactical missiles reaches Mach 3-5. However, faster than them are the speed of light and electromagnetic waves. Once laser weapons and electromagnetic weapons with a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second are put into use, seeing them is equivalent to being destroyed. The advantages of real-time information have been transformed into time and space advantages, quality advantages, decision-making advantages and action advantages. Multidimensional: The application of information technology with computer technology as the core in the war has added another dimension to the battlefield space: information space. Information space is a brand-new space, which includes electromagnetic space, cyberspace and psychological space, and permeates all battlefield fields of land, sea and air. Armed forces with information technology advantages will launch non-contact or contact military strikes in land, sea, air, space and electricity. Restriction means that the war is controlled by political factors to a greater extent, and the target, scope, scale, degree and rhythm of the attack, as well as the beginning and end of the war, are all restricted by political purposes. Socialization means that professional soldiers will be the main force of the war, but factors such as nonlinear battlefield, asymmetric confrontation and non-contact combat will prompt social forces related to military struggle to participate in the war directly or indirectly, and they may use non-military actions such as cyber attacks, virus invasion, psychological warfare and financial warfare to serve the war. Nobody: The United States has a report entitled "Strategy and Tactics of 2 1 Century", and one of its conclusions is striking: the core weapon of the 20th century is the tank, and the core weapon of 2 1 century is the unmanned system. Facts seem to confirm this conclusion. At present, all the military powers and powers in the world are developing automatic control weapon platforms, such as all kinds of drones, unmanned vehicles, unmanned ships and intelligent robots. The development trend of the above-mentioned information warfare may be unbalanced, some develop rapidly, some develop slowly, some can be realized completely, and some may not be satisfactory, but it will change the information warfare in the primary stage studied and faced today sooner or later. When a new wave strikes and new changes take place, we must first emancipate our minds and "change our minds" in order to understand and control the "fierce horse" of the drastic changes in war.
