The influence of military high technology on modern warfare is profound, mainly in the following aspects: First, the war is controllable. War is a continuation of politics. All politicians want the war to be carried out according to their own design, but the previous wars lacked controllability. It is often that once the war machine is running, it will not be transferred by human will, and the process and scale of the war are difficult to control. High-tech weapons and equipment are the means of war, which can effectively control the destructive power and make the war controllable, and become an effective tool for politicians to achieve political goals. The controllability of high-tech war is mainly manifested in the following three aspects: 1, and the purpose of attack can be effectively controlled: with the emergence of precision-guided weapons, precision strike has gradually replaced "carpet" indiscriminate bombing as the most important attack mode in war. Relying on the high hit accuracy of precision-guided weapons, combat missions that used to require multiple bombings can now achieve their goals with only one or two attacks, which can effectively avoid affecting non-military targets around them. 2. The scale of war can be effectively controlled: in the case of high-tech war, high-tech weapons and equipment have high precision and great power, and the operational flow has doubled. In order to complete a combat mission, it is not necessary to invest a lot of troops and weapons and equipment as before, and the scale of the war can be effectively controlled; On the other hand, the high hit accuracy of precision guided weapons can avoid hurting non-strike targets in the war to a certain extent, and can effectively avoid the extension and escalation of the war. 3. The course of the war can be effectively controlled: due to the wide reconnaissance range and long strike distance of the combat weapons, high-tech wars are no longer carried out from the front of the battlefield to the depth like previous wars. High-tech weapons have been able to directly achieve strategic goals by attacking important targets in depth, thus avoiding the protracted war, shortening the war process and ending the war as scheduled. Second, the battlefield is vast. As far as the space form of the battlefield is concerned, the extensive application of high-tech weapons and equipment in the war has greatly expanded the battlefield space. Local wars under high-tech conditions are characterized by high three-dimensional and deep depth, and the combat space is unprecedented. This mainly includes the following aspects: 1. Extending from local battlefield to global battlefield: Under the condition of high-tech war, the range and range of high-tech weapons and equipment are increased, and the long-range combat capability of weapons and equipment is unprecedentedly improved. The range of intercontinental missiles can reach tens of thousands of kilometers, and the strategic bombers of the United States, such as B 1, B2, Tu 160 of the former Soviet Union, have reached more than 1 10,000 kilometers. Although the actual contact area between the warring parties in a local war is very small, any corner of the world may become a part of the battlefield. 2. Extending from the air battlefield to the space battlefield: 1903, the Wright brothers invented the airplane, which opened the door to air combat. 1957, the former Soviet Union launched its first non-construction satellite, and mankind began to extend the tentacles of war into distant space again. In several high-tech local wars, military satellites have exerted great power. At present, space has become the most fierce field of military competition, and military powers regard controlling space as a necessary condition to win future wars. The United States and Russia have established an independent space force: the celestial army. 3. Extending from the tangible battlefield to the intangible battlefield: With the application of various electronic technologies in weapons and equipment, the electronic battlefield began to step onto the war stage. Electronic warfare is a struggle between hostile parties using electronic technology and equipment in electromagnetic field. Its basic contents are electronic reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance, electronic jamming and anti-jamming, electronic destruction and anti-destruction. Its purpose is to weaken and destroy the normal work of the other side's electronic equipment, so that its communication is interrupted, its command is paralyzed, its weapons are abandoned, its radar is blind, and finally its combat capability is improved. It is the nerve center of modern battlefield victory. Third, the system confrontation highlights that military confrontation has always been a system confrontation. In the high-tech war, this kind of confrontation is more prominent. With the development of high technology, the mutual restriction of weapon system "one spear and one shield" has been replaced by the new feature of "multiple spears and multiple shields". The exertion of weapon combat traffic depends not only on the killing power of its warhead, but also on the interaction of subsystems such as intelligence system, command and control system, communication system, information processing system, maneuvering system and protection system, which constitute the nodding system. The operational effectiveness of the whole combat system is no longer the simple sum of the effectiveness of each combat system, but the multiplication relationship that the whole is greater than each part, especially the product of the effectiveness of several key systems. In terms of weapons and equipment, any kind of high-tech weapons and equipment, no matter how advanced its technology, can't complete combat tasks without the cooperation of other weapons and equipment. In combat, with the wide application of high-tech weapons in the battlefield, all battlefields and military forces are no longer single operations, and joint operations characterized by multi-service and multi-space integration have leapt onto the war stage. Gone are the days when a single service decided the outcome of a war. Only by relying on the coordinated action of various services and weapons systems can we win the high-tech war. Fourth, the history of diversified combat styles shows that technology determines tactics, and what kind of military technology there will be. The progress of military technology and the change of weapons and equipment will inevitably promote the change of combat styles. In the high-tech war, with the extensive application of a large number of high-tech equipment, various combat modes have emerged: missile attack precision war, surgical acupuncture war, structural paralysis war, non-lethal soft killing war, command and control information war, all-round war integrating land, sea, air, space and electricity, in addition to environmental war, space war and psychological war. V. Command and Control Automation After World War II, due to the increasingly complex structure of weapons and equipment, the increasing number of arms and services participating in the war, the ever-changing battlefield situation, the unprecedented increase of military information and the increasing difficulty of operational command, it is difficult to effectively command various combat forces and modes in a very short time, and to exert the overall strength to complete combat tasks. Under such requirements, the development of modern science and technology, especially the development of reconnaissance technology, communication technology and computer technology, has promoted the establishment of the army's automated command system, integrated the army's command, control, communication and intelligence, and established the army's automation. This is also the familiar C4ISR system. From the perspective of operational support, the high-tech war is characterized by huge consumption. The main reasons are as follows: 1. The cost of weapons and equipment is rising. With the development of weapons and equipment in the direction of automation, intelligence and intensification, an advanced weapon and equipment often concentrates a lot of scientific research results, which is difficult, long-term and high-risk. Therefore, the cost of scientific research and production of high-tech weapons and equipment and the investment in purchasing high-tech weapons and equipment have greatly increased. For example, M 1 tank costs 2 million US dollars/vehicle, Patriot missile 165438+ 10,000 US dollars/vehicle, and F 15 fighter costs 50.4 million US dollars/vehicle ... 2. Personnel training costs are increasing: high-tech weapons and equipment are becoming more and more complicated in operation, maintenance, flexible use and operational coordination. Because of this, all countries in the world attach great importance to the training of military talents, so that the cultural quality of the army is constantly improved. 3. Increased consumption of battlefield materials: High-tech wars are also high-energy wars. Looking at several local wars after World War II, with the high-tech war becoming more and more obvious, its consumption is also increasing. Take the daily average consumption of materials by individual soldiers as an example. World War II was 20 kilograms, Vietnam War was 90 kilograms, and the Gulf War was 200 kilograms. The huge battlefield consumption shows that the high-tech war is backed by strong comprehensive national strength. Without a strong comprehensive national strength, military modernization is impossible; Without a strong comprehensive national strength, it is difficult to support a high-tech war.
