"Network system": The core of modern military informatization construction

Information construction is a huge and complicated system engineering, it is not a simple technical problem, not a simple theoretical problem, but a profound change involving technology, theory, concept, management and social aspects. From the experience and lessons of the information construction of foreign armies and the problems exposed by our army in the practice of information construction, the idea of "net system", which is put forward in this paper, is a useful exploration to solve the problem of "chimney", which is published for the readers ' reference. --Editor

With the storm of the new military revolution in the world, the tide of information construction is roaring and surging in the World military field. In response to the challenge, many countries ' armies are accelerating the transition to an information-based army. However, from the current situation of military information construction in various countries, the old idea of mechanized war and the mode of thinking in industrial times have become shackles on the way forward. Therefore, the "network system" will become a normative information construction of a scientific idea.

New concept of "network system" information construction

The military informatization construction is the most complex and dynamic system engineering in the military field at present. The core of the idea of "network system" is to organize the information construction of the army according to the systematic integration method of "unified planning, centralized management, system construction and application promotion", and to solve the problem of "low benefit, low level, lower scale and low-level", and realize the system integration of information construction.

"NET", from the system, it is under the centralized and unified leadership, integration, optimization of the system, the formation of an integrated function of clear, specific, efficient operation of the information construction leadership system; Technically, it is the use of more mature information technology, especially the command automation technology, digital technology, network technology, In the unified technology system and standards to achieve network integration and resource integration, battlefield awareness, information processing, comprehensive attack, command and control, support and other factors linked to achieve the integrated integration of the operational elements; from the specific content, is the operating platform, information resources, The accusation system and the combat system are unified by the network. "Unified" operating platform, that is, to command Automation network as the backbone of the existing military units at all levels of various local area networks, operating systems for integrated transformation, so that compatible interoperability, and gradually realize the integration of multiple networks. "Unified" information resources, is on the basis of the unified network, according to military information resource type, important level and its demand for different users, the established information resources, such as combat database, information database and so on optimized configuration and resource integration. The system of "unified" accusation is to transform and perfect the Combat Command and control system of the existing combat unit, to realize the integrated seamless link, and to establish the automatic accusation system to meet the demands of operational command. The system of "unification" is based on the communication of information, the three-level command and control system, the combat system, the security system and the combat units are built into a large system, from the strategic overall to build an integrated combat system, and comprehensively enhance the overall combat capability of the Army.

The trend of informatization construction of "taking net Jian"

"Network System" is the general law of information construction. It is an important feature and trend of social informatization to develop and develop application network with information technology as the important support. The information army is a subsystem in the information society big system. The development of national defense and military construction, it should also take the information technology as the support, make full use of the advantageous condition and the result of the national informatization, construct the modern warfare system with reasonable structure, complete function, rapid response, and can give full play to the arms joint combat efficiency and the national war potential; the organization mode, management mode and The operating mechanism is beneficial to the drawing of experience. For example, China's information construction was initially led by the industry technical department, and later developed into the Department of State Council leadership, and currently under the direct leadership of the Premier. Such a leadership system for the military information construction also has a good reference significance.

"Network System" is the objective requirement of information warfare. Information warfare is a war of land, sea, air, sky and electricity, which takes the equipment platform of mechanized warfare as the main carrier, takes the information weapon as the support, takes the informational network as the center, and seizes the information superiority as the target. The development trend and system integration thought of weapon equipment informatization and information System network are the essence of realizing military informatization and winning information warfare. The U.S. military has put forward the concept of "system integration" and "Network Centric warfare" theory. The U.S. military believes that system integration is the integration of information technology, the original separation of weapons and equipment, information systems and functions of the horizontal integration, constitute a higher level of the system, forming a far greater than the functions of various elements or subsystems of the new system, to achieve the complementarity and multiplication of combat capability Network Centric warfare is based on a highly intelligent integrated information network with computer system as its core, which will "sweep" the battlefield elements. The characteristics of information warfare and the information practice of foreign armies enlighten us: to establish and perfect the integrated information platform, integrate information resources comprehensively, and then take the network as the link, all kinds of information weapon equipment "unified" as organic whole, is the key to realize information transformation. Therefore, only by "network" thought planning the military information construction, the implementation of the information System management, can eliminate the interoperability between the "barrier", to achieve effective integration of combat effectiveness.

"Network System" is a strategic measure to promote military reform with Chinese characteristics. In order to meet the challenge of the new military reform, our army takes informatization as the development direction and is pushing the transformation from mechanization to informatization. On the strength structure of the army, the mode of the task-type, ability-type and mixed-type joint forces is changed to all the arms, and in the method of combat, the coordinated operation of single arms is transformed into the joint operation of Arms. Therefore, to promote military reform with Chinese characteristics and accelerate the process of information construction in the army, it is necessary to set up the idea of "net system" which is the main content of systematic integration, to do well the top design, to grasp the construction of the army from the height of the social system, and to plan the construction of the subsystem and subsystems from the height of the large military system. Combat theory, command and control and other aspects of the reform, do a good job in all aspects of integrated integration, to achieve a variety of combat platforms, combat elements of integration and integration to maximize the formation of the overall resultant force.

"Network System" to remove the sword of information barrier

Countries in the information construction before the beginning of the common problems are: "Fragmentation, co-ordination", "repeat investment, low level wandering", "different standards, compatibility difficulties", "every family ignition, household smoke." Because of the influence of traditional idea and interest relation, these problems have become the stubborn disease of information construction. Therefore, we should use the "net" this sword to remove the shackles of information on the road, thus forming a vertical integration, horizontal coordination, the overall linkage of the benign operation mechanism.

One is from the ideological "unification". To carry out the idea of network-centric, according to the idea of "building war consistent, sphere, and people loading interaction", the idea is unified into the system integration with network as the core;

The second is from the system "unification". The information construction involves many departments, covers a wide range, has the very strong system coordination and the whole linkage, should consummate the organization leadership system at all levels according to the system integration thought;

Third, from the functional "unified", the leading organization of information construction at all levels should strengthen the overall planning and guidance of information construction, according to the different tasks, different specialties and different conditions of equipment, make clear the construction goal, the organization construction pilot, the appraisal construction quality, the stratification, the stage, the classification, has the focus organization construction. and adhere to the unified planning, unified technical system, the construction of supporting, compatible, shared information system;

Four is from the plan "the Unification". The unified information construction and development plan should be formulated as soon as possible, the content, method and target system should be defined, and the guiding principles of clear framework and easy operation for each branch system and basic unit should be provided.

Five is from the standard "unification". Aiming at the need of integrative joint operation, unifying the whole army's structure system and technical standard, according to the Unified Information system technical standards, the compatible standard of information system and the informatization weapon equipment, and the standard of the standards of the data security, the new information warfare platform is constructed, which lays the foundation for integrated system integration and integrated

Six is from the resources on the "unified". Should be within the military scope, the troops limited manpower, financial, material resources such as centralized optimization allocation and deep potential. At the same time, make use of the intelligence and technical superiority of local scientific research institutes, inject new vigor and vigor into the information construction of the troops. The information construction mainly concentrates on the three major fields of command automation, main battle Weapon equipment informatization, support and informationization. Command automation is the key link of advancing military informatization. Therefore, should take the command automation as the focal point, take the system integration as the core, consummates the information construction the whole frame, realizes the intelligence reconnaissance, the early warning detection, the command control and so on information system and the weapon platform link, constructs gathers the information collection, the transmission, the exchange and the processing Command and control system capable of commanding and controlling the entire battlefield area of responsibility and related space.
