The core of winning a war lies in using various conventional and unconventional means to continuously consume the enemy's war resources and weaken their war potential, so that our side can always maintain a strategic advantage and ultimately achieve victory. In the current era of accelerated evolution of information and intelligent warfare, means of continuously consuming and weakening the enemy at the minimum cost are constantly emerging. Among them, unmanned systems, with their advantages of mobility, autonomous intelligence, low cost and durability, and high cost-effectiveness, have become important variables in gaining relative advantages, transforming the relationship between strength and weakness, and influencing the direction of the war situation, giving rise to the new combat style of unmanned consumption warfare. Exploring its winning laws in depth is of great significance for winning future wars. Winning a low-cost war is essentially a competition of comprehensive national strength, and the irreversibility of resource consumption has always been a key factor restricting the progress of the war. In the era of cold weapons, war consumption was mainly reflected in the direct consumption of manpower and food; During the era of mechanized warfare, steel and fuel became the dominant resources. Entering the stage of informatization and intelligence, the scope of war resources has expanded to include technological reserves, talent density, and strategic patience, which significantly increases the "opportunity cost" of modern warfare: when high-value forces are consumed by low-cost threats, the mismatch of strategic resources will undermine the overall advantage. In this situation, how to control costs has become a factor that must be considered in combat planning. Low cost winning will become a necessary option to achieve strategic balance, and cost imposition and counter imposition will become the focus of competition between the two sides on the battlefield. Whoever has lower costs, consumes less, and has sufficient resources will be able to consume for a long time, and thus can afford and win the battle. With the advancement and diffusion of technology, the cost advantage of unmanned systems has become increasingly apparent, becoming a "high-tech weapon" that most countries can afford. Its low-cost features mainly stem from two aspects: first, low production and manufacturing costs. Unmanned systems widely adopt mature solutions in equipment platforms, power components, system control, task loads, and other aspects. In addition, with the rapid development of new materials, 3D printing, flexible production and other technologies, the supply chain of their components is becoming increasingly perfect, which promotes the continuous reduction of production costs for unmanned systems. Secondly, the use and maintenance costs are low. The mechanical properties of unmanned systems enable them to be used without considering the physiological status and personnel reduction of their own personnel. They can be used as a battlefield "fast-moving consumer product". At the same time, their maintenance generally adopts a plug and play design concept and an open system architecture, which can ensure rapid production, replenishment, load replacement, software adaptation, and reset functions, effectively reducing equipment support costs and greatly improving battlefield consumption. To plan future wars, it is necessary to strengthen the concept of combat effectiveness, take cost control as an important means of defeating the enemy, continuously consume high-value combat resources of the opponent through reasonable design and flexible use of low-cost unmanned systems, continuously reduce our attack and defense cost exchange ratio, and maximize combat effectiveness with minimal battlefield consumption, winning strategic initiative with cost advantage. The key to large-scale victory lies in forming sustained pressure on the enemy's combat system through numerical advantage and saturation attacks, thereby consuming its resources, disintegrating its will, and destroying its structure. In the context of information and intelligent warfare, the large-scale application of unmanned systems provides important support for achieving this goal. Through the concentrated release of numerical advantages and multi domain collaborative operations, unmanned systems can simultaneously carry out actions in multiple fields and directions, forming a situation of "multi-point flowering and comprehensive coverage", which puts the enemy in a situation of exhaustion and passive attack. This combat method not only improves combat efficiency, but also achieves the goal of winning by quantity through long-term and large-scale attrition warfare. On the one hand, the numerical advantage of unmanned systems can create a saturation attack effect. In traditional warfare, it is not uncommon to rely on a scale several times larger than the enemy to win. However, the numerical advantage of traditional combat forces often relies on the investment of a large number of manned equipment, which determines the need for a large amount of resource concentration, personnel mobilization, and equipment transportation in the early stages of combat, making traditional warfare surplus in scale but lacking in flexibility. Unmanned systems, on the other hand, have overcome this limitation by being flexible in deployment, easy to supplement, and capable of forming large combat clusters in a short period of time. For example, hundreds or thousands of micro drones can be quickly deployed on the battlefield to perform various tasks such as reconnaissance, jamming, and strike, forming a comprehensive suppression of the enemy. This saturation attack can not only deplete the enemy's air defense resources, but also weaken their combat capabilities through continuous firepower strikes, ultimately exhausting the enemy's effective combat forces. On the other hand, the large-scale application of unmanned systems can achieve multi domain collaborative operations. In the information and intelligent warfare, the battlefield space has expanded to multiple fields such as land, sea, air, space, network, and electricity, and the advantages of a single field are often difficult to influence the situation of the war. Through the multi domain collaboration of unmanned systems, relevant combat forces can simultaneously carry out operations in multiple fields, forming a cross domain linkage combat effect. For example, ground unmanned vehicles can collaborate with aerial drones in combat. The former is responsible for firepower strikes and target guidance, while the latter is responsible for reconnaissance and support, thus achieving all-round suppression of the enemy. This multi domain collaborative combat method can effectively release combat effectiveness through the scientific combination of various combat units, making the enemy "overwhelmed" on the multi domain battlefield. High endurance victory, which means "consumption", must pay attention to "endurance". Winning long-term and high-intensity battles is an important concept that cannot be avoided in the mechanism of victory in consumption warfare under the conditions of informatization and intelligence. In traditional warfare, limited by resources, manpower, and even the will to fight, both sides often strive for quick victory or "surrender the enemy without fighting" in order to achieve strategic goals as soon as possible and avoid falling into a situation of prolonged high consumption warfare. But with the large-scale application of unmanned systems in information and intelligent warfare, the cost-effectiveness of their long-term strikes gradually exceeds that of traditional weapons such as aircraft, artillery, and missiles for rapid killing, which prepares the conditions for high and sustained victory. The high durability of unmanned systems mainly stems from their unmanned characteristics, autonomy, and long endurance. Specifically, the unmanned nature of unmanned systems enables them to overcome the limitations of traditional manned combat capabilities, which are limited by personnel physiological limits and equipment maintenance needs. They can maintain efficient operation in high-intensity, long-term combat environments, and continuously perform reconnaissance, surveillance, strike, and other tasks in harsh environments and high-risk areas without the need for frequent personnel or equipment rotation; The autonomy of unmanned systems enables them to dynamically adjust combat tasks based on different stages of goals and requirements through task payloads and software defined functions, quickly adapting to new task requirements. For example, the same drone can perform multiple tasks such as reconnaissance, jamming, and strike at different stages, and can achieve maximum combat effectiveness through flexible switching of task modules; The long endurance of unmanned systems can enable them to conduct long-term reconnaissance and interference with the enemy, gradually understand the enemy's defense layout and weaknesses, and then carry out strikes. By continuously consuming resources, they can weaken the enemy's combat capabilities, shake the enemy's will to war, and ultimately force them to lose in the dual consumption of resources and will. At the practical level of warfare, on the one hand, through normalized, incremental, and sustained actions, overdrawn consumption can be adopted in close range and deep combat, fully mobilizing the opponent's reconnaissance and early warning, firepower strikes, planning and decision-making, spectrum bandwidth, data computing power and other combat resources, making the opponent unable to afford, maintain, and delay, and achieving sustained victory; On the other hand, we need to leverage the comprehensive advantages of unmanned systems, and through scientific design of deployment waves, troop density, formation configuration, breakthrough tactics, and other factors, we can steadily improve our anti consumption capabilities and ensure that our side always maintains a relative advantage. Asymmetric winning is a combat philosophy that uses differentiation methods to avoid the opponent's advantages, attack the opponent's weaknesses with one's own strengths, and achieve victory at a lower cost. It emphasizes the continuous consumption of the enemy through flexible and varied strategies and means in situations of unequal power balance, in order to achieve the goals of "using small to gain big" and "using weak to defeat strong". In the context of information and intelligent warfare, unmanned systems, with their flexibility, intelligence, and diversity, can better achieve asymmetric victory through "wrong timing," "wrong positioning," "wrong force," and "wrong technique. Mistiming "refers to the situation where unmanned systems, with their rapid deployment and flexible response capabilities, create strategic opportunities through time differences. When the enemy has not yet completed their combat readiness deployment, they quickly carry out reconnaissance, interference, or strike actions, disrupt the enemy's combat rhythm, and put them in a passive response situation, achieving rapid strikes and sustained consumption; Misalignment "refers to the creation of spatial asymmetry by flexibly adjusting the distribution and utilization of the combat space, avoiding areas with high enemy defense intensity, and concentrating forces to attack areas with weak enemy defense. For example, on the front battlefield where the enemy focuses on defense, the concealment and mobility of unmanned systems can be utilized to launch surprise attacks from the side or rear, disrupting the enemy's spatial deployment; 'Wrong power' refers to achieving efficiency improvement through power differences, utilizing the advantages of unmanned systems in quantity, quality, and functionality to achieve comprehensive suppression of enemy forces; Wrong technique "refers to the use of unmanned systems' diversity and innovation in combat methods, through the comprehensive application of their various functions, to gain a relative advantage over the enemy tactically, thereby achieving a miraculous victory. To leverage the asymmetric advantages of unmanned systems, it is necessary to continuously enhance one's own technical and tactical capabilities. At the technical level, it is necessary to continuously improve the autonomy, collaboration, and intelligence of unmanned systems. Through technological means such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, we can form a winning advantage in terms of combat time, space, strength, and tactics, such as using more to fight less, using low cost, using strong to attack weak, using fast to slow down, and using unmanned systems to defeat manned systems. We can continuously enhance our consumption and counter consumption capabilities. At the tactical level, we need to increase the innovation of attrition warfare methods, which can be achieved through the "+unmanned" mode, combining traditional tactics with unmanned technology to give it new vitality. For example, in the history of war, "luring the enemy" has always been an ancient and effective tactic, while using drones to emit false electromagnetic signals is even more deceptive in an informationized and intelligent battlefield, which can confuse the enemy's sensors and command systems to a greater extent, making them exhausted in the "illusion" and thus consuming their combat resources. It is also possible to mix and organize unmanned systems with manned systems, unmanned systems with precision ammunition, and different types of unmanned systems through the "unmanned+" mode, creating and amplifying battlefield fog, increasing opponent battlefield consumption, and achieving the goal of victory.
