Integration of defense and civilian technologies, the integration of national defense technology and civilian technology is a common practice in market economy countries. National defense construction often reflects a country's scientific and technological level and organizational ability, and needs to concentrate the country's most elite scientific research and production forces. In the case of limited total resources, if the military and civilians are separated, the resources will be too inclined to the army, ignoring the general social needs, leading to top-heavy economic construction and national defense construction, and finally the economy will collapse because it cannot support too strong national defense. On the other hand, if a strong economic force cannot form the necessary national defense strength, it will also affect national security and the improvement of international status and influence. For a long time, the gap between China and western developed countries in national defense and military affairs is also closely related to the fact that the integration of national defense and civilian technology has not yet formed a perfect system and mechanism that fully adapts to the market economy environment.
It is a long-term glorious tradition of our army and an important embodiment of the people's war thought to include the army in the people and integration of defense and civilian technologies. Since the reform and opening up, with the transformation of the economic system from a highly centralized planned economy to a socialist market economy, and with the improvement of scientific and technological requirements for winning local wars under the condition of informationization, how the people's war thought adapts to the new economic and social development environment has become an important topic. After years of unremitting exploration, we have found a development path of integration of defense and civilian technologies with China characteristics. The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward that "we should establish and improve the scientific research and production system of weapons and equipment, the military personnel training system and the military security system, persist in building the army through diligence and thrift, and embark on a development path of integration of defense and civilian technologies with China characteristics." The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further emphasized that "we should stick to the development path of integration of defense and civilian technologies with China characteristics, adhere to the unity of enriching the country and strengthening the army, and strengthen the strategic planning, institutional mechanism construction and legal system construction of integration of defense and civilian technologies." These expositions not only pointed out the basic direction of integration of defense and civilian technologies's development, but also expanded the thinking and scope of integration of defense and civilian technologies's development, and put forward new reform and development requirements for coordinating economic construction and national defense construction.
To further improve integration of defense and civilian technologies's great article, we must fully implement the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee, accelerate the establishment of a mechanism of unified leadership, military-civilian coordination, demand docking and resource sharing at the national level, and promote the deep integration of infrastructure and important areas. Rational use of resources and control of the scale of military expenditure should not only "support the army with the people" but also "support the people with the army" to promote the coordinated development of economic construction and national defense construction. Focusing on improving the independent innovation ability of national defense scientific research and weapons and equipment, improving the national defense industrial system, improving the collaborative innovation system of national defense science and technology, reforming the system and mechanism of national defense scientific research and production management and weapons and equipment procurement, guiding superior private enterprises and high-quality social resources to enter the field of military research, production and maintenance, promoting the upgrading of military industry, and providing material and technical support for casting a "sharp weapon" for strengthening and rejuvenating the army. Reform and improve the policy system of cultivating military talents relying on national education, reasonably determine the training objectives and scale, and improve the efficiency of personnel training. Expand the scope and field of socialization of military security, reduce the burden of military "running society", and at the same time play the role of socialized security in stimulating domestic demand and promoting economic development. National defense mobilization is an important organizational form and bridge for the integration of national defense technology and civil technology. Deepen the reform of national defense education, improve the system and mechanism of national defense mobilization, optimize the scale, structure and layout of reserve forces, improve laws and regulations on peacetime requisition and wartime mobilization, and enhance the national defense potential to win future wars. Deepen the reform of the militia reserve system. Adjust and rationalize the management system and mechanism of air defense along the border, and improve the level of air defense construction and comprehensive management and control capabilities along the border.
