Information-based warfare refers to paralysis and shock operations that take place in the information age, based on information, with information-based weapons and equipment as the main combat tools and means, with system integration and information control as the leading factor, and by means of precise strike, real-time control and information attack and defense. In a full-dimensional space. Compared with traditional forms of warfare such as mechanized warfare, information warfare has the following six characteristics. Tools of War-Information-oriented tools of war determine the form of war and what kind of tools of war there will be. The war tools in the information age are mainly information weapons and equipment, and the main feature of information weapons and equipment is to realize the informationization, intelligence and integration of weapons and equipment. Energy structure Energy structure and energy release mode are the basic elements that determine the killing mechanism of weapons. From the perspective of energy composition, in the information war, war energy has changed from traditional physical energy such as physical energy, chemical energy, electric energy, electromagnetic energy, mechanical energy and nuclear energy to intellectual energy. Intelligence is the dominant energy in information warfare, which produces efficiency by controlling other physical energy. In the information war, the forces, platforms and weapons in the mechanical age still play an important role, but the structure of energy release has changed. Electronic information equipment has changed from auxiliary and supporting equipment to leading equipment, infiltrated and integrated into power, platform and weapon in a systematic way, and accurately controlled the timing, mode, quantity and proportion of energy and energy release, so as to achieve the goal of minimum investment and maximum benefit. Efficiency standard Mechanized warfare mainly emphasizes the accumulation of quantity and scale, while information warfare emphasizes the control of quality on efficiency. Traditional warfare mainly achieves the purpose of killing and destroying through firepower destruction. In the information war, information technology can not only integrate a variety of different energy and weapons and equipment, but also effectively control the efficiency of energy release, with more accurate control results, and achieve great combat results through less energy release. Therefore, in terms of combat damage efficiency, the charge is no longer emphasized, but the principle of accuracy and effectiveness is highlighted. The accurate and efficient measure is the cost-effectiveness ratio. Efficiency-cost ratio refers to low investment and high income in war, which can usually reach more than 1: 10. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to improve the hit accuracy of weapons. Combat power-the whole cohesive system against C? After the ISR system, information warfare equipment, precision guided weapons and information warfare platform are seamlessly connected through the global information grid, an all-dimensional, all-weather and all-weather integrated and real-time combat system will be formed. In such a combat system, the concepts of greed, comprehensiveness and advanced in traditional warfare will have no meaning, because variety, scale and performance are no longer the key elements to improve operational efficiency, while system integration and horizontal integration become the most critical elements. No matter how many kinds of weapons and equipment, no matter how large the scale and good the performance are, if they cannot be integrated into the system, they will not be able to play a role. Instead of forming combat effectiveness on the battlefield, it will become an easy target. The informationized battlefield is the battlefield against the integrated system, and the party with a perfect informationized combat system can control the means of combat, flexibly choose targets and control the process and rhythm of the war. Without the corresponding information-based combat system, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness without a leader, scattered sand and a large number of souls. In the mechanized war of power cohesion, the war power is mainly manifested as material power. In the information war, intelligence and knowledge are in the core and leading position of power cohesion, and the cohesion of combat power mainly depends on information control. From the perspective of strength, information-based weapons and equipment have become the dominant factor, and the status of traditional mechanized combat platforms has declined. The cohesion of power must be carried out on the premise of mastering the advantages of power control, especially seizing and controlling the advantages of information and air and space. Only in this way can we ensure that the required troops can be adjusted and maneuvered to the exact position and direction at the exact time and hit the target accurately. In the information war, the art of command and military strategy are still very important, but the key points are two aspects: first, the strategic arrangement, wits and strategic deception of the warring parties; The second is the automatic command and control at the level of campaign tactics.
