Pay attention to the development trend of battlefield optimization

2025-02-21   

Since ancient times, battlefield gathering has been regarded as an important combat principle by many military strategists. The Art of War by Sun Tzu states: "There is no such thing as a surplus of troops, only Wujin can be strong enough to fight, anticipate the enemy, and recruit people." The term "strong enough" emphasizes the concentration of superior forces to form a combat advantage. Comrade Mao Zedong also put forward the important military law of "concentrating superior forces and annihilating the enemy from all sides". Nowadays, the idea of concentrating superior forces has been extended to the idea of gathering strengths. In the information and intelligent warfare, with profound changes in combat forms, combat styles, combat forces, etc., battlefield optimization also presents new characteristics and laws. Transitioning from 'quantity' aggregation to 'quality' aggregation. In traditional warfare, emphasis is placed on winning by numerical advantage, emphasizing the principle of "fighting with more and less", and striving to form a combat advantage through military superiority. Although most armies also attach great importance to advantages such as the quality of personnel and weapons and equipment, overall they still emphasize suppressing the enemy with absolute quantity differences and place less emphasis on quality advantages. In the future of information-based and intelligent warfare, with the development of high-tech such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, the operational advantages that can be transformed from numerical advantages in actual combat are becoming increasingly unclear. On the contrary, there is an increasing emphasis on "not having too many soldiers, but on precision", and precision warfare that focuses on quality advantages is becoming an important style. Nowadays, many countries are streamlining their military size, emphasizing the optimization of their military organization system, the development of emerging military branches and combat forces, upgrading weapons and equipment, and promoting the transformation from quantity and scale to quality and efficiency, in order to further enhance combat effectiveness. Transitioning from "centralized" aggregation to "decentralized" aggregation. In the traditional era of cold weapons, due to relatively outdated weapons and equipment, the combat forms were relatively single, and there was a strong emphasis on concentrating forces to form a joint combat force. In the era of hot weapon warfare and mechanized warfare, with the development of science and technology, the range of weapons and equipment has increased, their mobility has further enhanced, and combat forces have gradually become more dispersed. In future warfare, the combat domain covers various fields such as land, sea, air, space, electricity, and network. While pursuing the establishment of combat advantages through concentrated combat forces, the demand for decentralized deployment of combat forces is becoming increasingly high. The increase in the dispersion of combat forces, on the one hand, increases the concentration of "battlefield fog" and increases the difficulty of enemy strikes; On the other hand, it is possible to scientifically and reasonably allocate and integrate dispersed combat forces, achieve local concentration, and achieve local combat advantages. Transitioning from 'holistic' aggregation to 'immediate' aggregation. In traditional warfare, both sides usually engage in overall confrontation after a certain period of preparation in order to form an overall advantage, and the aggregation of advantages has a strong time lag. Informationized and intelligent warfare will accelerate the pace of combat and increase the intensity of operations. The confrontation will be a high-intensity and intense confrontation between the entire region. Once the war begins, there is very little time left for both sides to prepare for the gathering of advantages. Quick can catch the fighter jet, late can easily lead to variables. In the future battlefield, there is an increasing demand for real-time optimization and rapid utilization of resources. It emphasizes the efficient concentration of various advantageous forces at critical times and nodes when necessary, and plans, organizes, and regulates operations simultaneously. Once the combat objectives are achieved, it quickly disperses and conceals, waiting for opportunities to form new combat advantages. (New Society)
