A certain land aviation brigade has built a digital training ground, achieving "pre flight rehearsal, mid flight monitoring, and post flight review" for flight training, effectively shortening the pilot training cycle; A certain unit of the People's Armed Police actively introduced technological means such as smart shooting ranges and VR simulation training, creating a realistic battlefield environment and rapidly improving the professional abilities of officers and soldiers; At the training site of a certain unit, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are soaring in the sky, breaking through obstacles and defenses, and unmanned vehicles are galloping on the battlefield. The battlefield attack and defense methods are more diverse... Currently, the entire army is keeping up with the changes in technology, war, and opponents, constantly infiltrating technological innovation into military training and preparation, fully leveraging the important empowering role of technology. War is a confrontation of power and a competition of technology. President Xi emphasized the need to strengthen the construction of simulation, networking, and adversarial methods, explore training methods such as' technology+'and' network+', and significantly improve the technological content of training. As the most active and revolutionary factor in military development, technology, as the core combat capability, not only changes the mechanism of winning wars, but also fundamentally transforms the forms, means, and methods of military training. Practice has proven that making good use of technology as a sharp blade can create a combat environment similar to actual combat, create a more realistic combat experience, and comprehensively improve the quality and effectiveness of military training and combat capabilities. Currently, a new round of technological revolution, industrial revolution, and military revolution is rapidly evolving. The degree of informatization in modern warfare is constantly improving, and the characteristics of intelligence are becoming increasingly apparent. The role of science and technology in military training and preparation is also becoming increasingly prominent. In recent years, various combat methods such as unmanned combat, cognitive attack and defense, intelligence crowdfunding, and troop deployment have emerged one after another. Combat styles such as aerial "bee swarms", underwater "fish schools", and land "wolf packs" have emerged one after another, all of which rely on the support of science and technology. It can be said that whoever has scientific and technological advantages has the advantage on the battlefield. To win the future informationized and intelligent war, the urgent task is to deeply implement the strategy of strengthening the military through science and technology, and use technology to empower and improve the quality and efficiency of military training and preparation. To empower technology, we must first win the battle against key core technologies. The key core technology is a national treasure, an important foundation for the comprehensive strength of a modern country, and the most direct core combat capability of the military. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that "the true core and key technologies cannot be bought with money, relying on imported weapons and equipment is unreliable, and taking the path of importing and imitating is not far." We must adhere to the strategic basis of independent innovation, focus on being able to fight and win battles, make every effort to tackle "bottleneck" technologies, focus on filling gaps, breakpoints, and bottlenecks, and continuously improve the contribution rate of science and technology to military training and preparation. We must focus on the development of strategic, cutting-edge, and disruptive technologies, accelerate the upgrading and intelligent development of weapons and equipment, vigorously develop new types of combat forces, promote the acceleration of the improvement of new quality combat capabilities, create more strategic "iron fists" for defeating enemies, firmly grasp the initiative in military competition, and win new advantages in military development. Technology empowerment should focus on the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements. Technological achievements are the first way to solve the problem of "from scratch", while transformation and application are the second way to "empower technology". Nowadays, a large number of new weapons and technologies have been put into use, providing us with a better material and technological foundation to win wars. Each unit should focus on the needs of command training, live combat, equipment operation, and other aspects, fully utilize cutting-edge technological achievements such as intelligent technology, develop intelligent simulation and network combat training systems, and quickly change the relatively small scope and low level of simulation training. Intensify the intensity of simulation, networking, and intelligent training, while reducing the cost and risk of confrontation, and improve, refine, and strengthen the weapons in hand. Utilize means such as combat experiments and military chess simulations, actively engage in independent confrontation, promote innovation in combat training supported by technology, and use technology to drive the generation of new quality combat capabilities, comprehensively improving the ability to win in the new era. Technology empowerment requires efforts to enhance the technological literacy of officers and soldiers. No matter how good the violin is, the key still depends on the player. "Officers and soldiers are always the masters of technology, the core of various elements of combat effectiveness, and the key to winning future wars. Whether it's tactical application or equipment operation, it ultimately falls on the shoulders of the officers and soldiers. To achieve technological empowerment, it is essential to endow the vast number of officers and soldiers with more technological literacy. All levels should take improving the scientific and technological literacy of officers and soldiers as a fundamental task, vigorously disseminate scientific spirit, popularize scientific knowledge, help officers and soldiers strengthen their learning and understanding of modern technology, especially military high-tech knowledge, enhance their scientific and technological cognition, innovation, and application. Guide officers and soldiers to actively participate in scientific and technological training activities, closely monitor the training of strong opponents, aim for future battlefield learning, and ensure that their own scientific and technological qualities always keep up with the development of the times and meet the needs of the battlefield. Party members and cadres at all levels, especially leading cadres, should take the lead in setting an example, be pioneers and role models in the tide of strengthening the military through science and technology and training through science and technology, strive to become leaders in learning high-tech knowledge, guide the practice of strengthening the military through science and technology, and understand how to control information-based and intelligent warfare. Whether an army can win future wars does not depend on the time span from the previous war, but on the level of understanding and preparation for the next war. Modern warfare, technology comes first; It is timely to strengthen the military through technology. Persisting in empowering technology to improve the quality and efficiency of military training and preparation, accelerating the transformation of technological capabilities of weapons and equipment into combat effectiveness, and transforming technological advantages into capability and combat advantages, we can promote a new leap in the construction of military combat effectiveness and ultimately obtain the "passport" to future victories.
