Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 67: The Assistant

In the current war mode, information is about success or failure.

Among all the arms of the Red Police, no arms have this ability.It's not that Li Lan didn't think about it before, training by herself, but it takes too long.Today, all three new arms have such capabilities.At the same time as an accident, it was naturally full of surprises.

Informationized warfare is a form of warfare. It refers to the integration of multiple services and arms in a full-dimensional space such as land, sea, air, space, and electricity under the conditions of nuclear deterrence in the information age. In modernized warfare, a large number of conventional weapons and equipment with contemporary high-tech levels such as information technology, new material technology, new energy technology, biotechnology, aerospace technology, marine technology, etc. are used, and corresponding combat methods are adopted in local areas. , Wars with a relatively limited scale of ends and means.

In the 21st century, the rapid development and widespread application of high technology has promoted the development of weapons and equipment and the evolution of combat methods, promoted the innovation of military theory and the transformation of the establishment system, and thus triggered a new military revolution.Informationized warfare will eventually replace mechanized warfare and become the basic form of future warfare.Informationized warfare refers to a war that takes place in the information age, based on information, and using informationized weaponry as a tool of war.Information-based warfare will not change the nature of war, but war directors must consider the outcome and consequences of the war. In strategic guidance, they must first pursue how to achieve the strategy of victory for the “soldier without fighting”. Traditional warfare at the cost of physical destruction is bound to be greatly restrained and restricted.

Information in information warfare refers to all facts, processes, states, and methods related to the enemy’s army, weapons, and operations that are directly or indirectly received and understood by specific systems.As far as the degree of dependence on information is concerned, no war in the past is as good as an information war.In traditional warfare, the two sides pay more attention to a comprehensive contest based on material strength.For example, mechanized warfare is mainly manifested as a contest of steel, which is a full-scale competition in the production capacity of the entire country's machinery industry.Information warfare does not exclude the contest of material power, but the more important thing is the contest of knowledge, which is the competition of innovation ability and innovation speed.Knowledge will become the main source of the destructive power of war. "The effect of an ounce of silicon in a computer may be greater than a ton of uranium."

Firepower, maneuverability, and information are important components of modern military combat capabilities, and information capabilities have become the primary indicator for measuring combat capabilities.Information capabilities are manifested in the aspects of information acquisition, processing, transmission, utilization, and confrontation, which are manifested through contention and control of information superiority.Information superiority, in essence, is to prevent the enemy from understanding one's own situation while understanding the enemy, which is a dynamic confrontation process.It has become a prerequisite for the struggle for air supremacy, sea supremacy, and land control, directly affecting the process and outcome of the entire war.Of course, people will always be the masters of information warfare.The planning, organization and command of wars have evolved from a completely human-oriented approach to a combination of man and machine that increasingly relies on technical means. The requirements for the quality of military personnel are also higher.From the competition for information superiority to the final transformation into decision-making superiority, more is the competition of knowledge and wisdom.

I often hear nouns such as digital artillery.What is a digital force? It is a highly network-integrated force with combat units (weapon platforms), equipment systems, individual equipment and command systems.But this is not an informationized force.There is also an intellectualization.It means that combat and support personnel have new scientific and technological knowledge and can master and operate various information equipment and systems proficiently.

Such a digital force armed with knowledgeable personnel is a preliminary informationized force.

In the future, Li Lan wants to fight against the world's powerful countries. If there is no informationized force, the war will also evolve into an asymmetrical war, and he is an absolutely weak side.

The first step is to informatize weapon systems. The informatization of weapon systems is what we usually call intelligence.This is an overall concept.These include hard kill, soft kill and new concept weapons:

Hard kill-precision guided weapons and remote sensing weapons (not traditional weapons) relying on information technology that directly kill, destroy and ensure destruction.Representative weapons: precision guided bombs such as lasers, military drones, and a new generation of cruise missiles.

Soft kill-a means to penetrate, interfere with, and suppress the enemy's information system.It is designed to destroy the enemy's source, sink, channel, and separate the enemy's communication and command system.Blind the opponent's precision guided weapons.Representative weapons: hacker weapons and computer viruses.

New concept weapon-a new combat unit different from traditional weapons designed based on high-tech means and information technology for the purpose of new damage mechanism.Representative weapons: directed high-energy particle weapons.Kinetic energy electromagnetic weapons, micro-electromechanical nano-weapons and robots.

Have a complete and advanced intelligence command system.Real-time remote reconnaissance and early warning, timely and rapid update of intelligence, real-time command network, and integrated battlefield control.Combat commands can reach individual combat units directly.The communication reaches the almost unimpeded standard, and the individual unit battlefield positioning of the omni-directional weapon platform is possible.The previous pagoda-style step-by-step command system will no longer exist.

The tactical data link covering sea, land, air, and electricity is connected to individual soldiers, and the battlefield information on the combat computers of individual soldiers or grassroots commanders is updated in time to facilitate the clear update of the battlefield tense.Ensure the transfer of direct command in special circumstances.The traditional concepts and customs of combat areas are no longer useful.Information warfare is seamless connection, high three-dimensional, large depth, and full dimension.

But Li Lan has a long way to go to fully realize these.He doesn't want to develop for a lifetime, and he is still fighting the wars of non-mainstream countries. Information development is the necessary way.

"Assistant, you said how long it would take for us to organize an informatization force from scratch." Li Lan couldn't help asking his assistant.

"Starting from scratch, it is estimated that it will take about 30 years to bring all troops into full informatization."

"Thirty years?" Li Lan struggled for such a long time.

"From scratch, thirty years, why did the commander ask such trivial questions."

"Why do you say that my problem is Xiaobai? Wouldn't the army not be informatized in the future?" Li Lan scratched his head and said.

"The existence of the base is inherently highly informatized. It is much more advanced than the informatization system currently possessed by the world powers and the new systems in research and development. Also, the commander has seen any informatization system that exists like me. ?"

The assistant's answer made Li Lan stunned. He had never thought about the base.However, Li Lan suddenly felt a slight difference in the assistant's answer.The assistants used to be very simple to ask him one question and one answer, but now that he has such a humane answer, Li Lan is completely messed up.

"Assistant, do you have more advanced intelligence?"

"The opening of the base to the commander's authority allows the commander to master more functions of the base. In order to better serve the commander, the base will also allow assistants to gain more knowledge when the commander's authority is upgraded. Only then can you continue to be the commander’s assistant, help the commander use the functions of the base, and answer questions for the commander."

"Illusion, it must be an illusion." Listening to the assistant's answer carefully, I don't know why, Li Lan suddenly felt the original dull electronically synthesized sound, and now there is a touch of human touch, a very inexplicable feeling, even he doesn't know it. Why do you feel this way.

"It's not an illusion. The assistant is an intelligent program. It is normal to have a certain degree of intelligence."

"Is that my authority will continue to upgrade in the future, you will become more intelligent, will you have the same thinking and judgment as normal people, and even have feelings." I don't know why, Li Lan thinks of the future of the United States. Science fiction movies, those electronic life that generate self-thinking ability, always have lingering fears.

"The information is insufficient to answer. However, the commander can rest assured that the intelligent program originates from the base. The most important thing is to always be loyal to the commander. The assistant has no right to disobey any command of the commander. The existence of the commander is the basis of the existence of the assistant. If the commander does not need an assistant someday, the assistant will disappear completely."

"There is no absolute in the world, who can guarantee what will happen in the future?" Li Lan thoughtfully.

"This is absolutely true. According to the database, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, who knows what will happen in the future. You just talked about informatization, how should we establish it?" Li Lan didn't want to go into this topic, the issue of army informatization, he was more interested.

"In the major war projects that have been opened recently, there is a data link system, which can transmit information about the troops to the base in real time, or the base can establish a subsystem and re-establish a comprehensive command organization to connect various data. Chain, transfer commands and real-time information on the battlefield.

However, the establishment of an informationized force requires soldiers who can master this aspect to maintain and use. Moreover, this data link system requires the commander to have a certain scale of land, sea, air and space equipment before it can be opened. benefit.The base is competent enough."
