Up to now, although no war can be called a complete information war and no army can be called a real information army, no one can deny that information will be the key to success in the future battlefield. The process of war will begin with information and end with information, and the end of war will be information and defeat. The drumbeat of information war is ringing in the starry sky of the 21st century. -

Informatization is a difficult trek from "steel civilization" to "bit civilization", and it is a dynamic, technical and social process. The informationization of the army is a process in which information technology is widely used in various fields of the army, weapons and equipment are developed and transformed, information resources are developed and utilized, elements of the army are aggregated and reorganized, system capabilities is improved, and the reform and development of the army are promoted. % d8 S, W, N+ c, P
The meeting between human beings and informatization and the connection between the army and informatization are not man-made designs, but historical necessity.

Since then, every 15 years or so, the world has undergone a change due to the update of the computing model: large computers appeared around 1965, personal computers were popularized around 198, and the Internet revolution occurred around 1995. In the late 2th century, the integrated circuit technology was refreshed every 18 months, the micro-processing speed was increased by nearly 1 times every year, and the network scale increased geometrically. The rapid development of information grid, cloud computing, Internet of Things, mobile broadband, smart earth, etc. not only indicates the opening of a new 15-year cycle, but also breeds a storm of information revolution. , i$ I$ _1 ^( @1 @; Z( W7 C- h
) It is even harder to imagine that computers, which were originally only used for scientific calculation, will actually become "grave diggers" in mechanized wars and "pregnant women" in information wars, and under the contrast of high-tech groups such as microelectronics technology and precision guidance technology, after half a century of rough waves, they directed earth-shattering war dramas in the afterglow of the 2th century.

At the beginning of reform and opening up, the Central Military Commission decided to implement a strategic change in the guiding ideology of army building and take the road of elite soldiers with China characteristics. In 1978, in order to change the backward situation of command means, the Central Military Commission made a decisive decision and started the command automation construction of our army. At that time, Comrade Deng Xiaoping profoundly pointed out: "It is necessary for us to modernize our command system, look at others' own backwardness and find the gap. Can we just rely on the phone to start a war as usual? To gradually realize the modernization of the command system, don't delay it for too long! " At the end of 198s, the construction of our army's command information network, database and command and control system of command post began to take shape.

Comrade * * has a keen insight into the development trend of world military reform, presided over the formulation of military strategic guidelines in the new period, and clearly put forward that the basic point of military struggle preparation should be to win local wars under modern technology, especially high technology. In 1993, the CMC made a series of major arrangements, such as actively promoting military reform with China characteristics and implementing the strategy of strengthening the army through science and technology. In 1995, the Army Command Automation Construction Committee was established, which further strengthened the organization and leadership of the command automation system construction, and started a number of weapons and equipment construction projects with high information technology content and key military-civilian joint construction projects. At the end of 199s, our army made great progress in the construction of command and control, intelligence reconnaissance, early warning and detection, communication, electronic countermeasures and other operational information support systems. , l; G.C.

) Entering the 21st century, the strategic goal of our army's construction is put forward, which makes information construction step into the fast lane of scientific development. In the face of the all-round development of the new military revolution in the world, President Hu clearly pointed out that it is necessary to promote the transformation of our army's military form from mechanization and semi-mechanization to mechanization and informatization-led compound development, and emphasized that improving system capabilities based on information system should be the fundamental focus of military struggle preparation. The CMC has established the strategic goal of "building an information-based army and winning an information-based war" and put forward the road of compound development of mechanization and information. After that, leading information management institutions were set up one after another to carry out the comprehensive integration of information systems, accelerate the pace of information weapons and equipment construction, and promote the continuous development of our army's information construction.

The birth of every advanced technology means the beginning of a military revolution. From cold weapons, hot weapons, thermonuclear weapons to current information weapons, this irrefutable development law has been interpreted. Facing the challenge of information war, all the world's military powers are striving to reshape the joint culture, operational theory and social psychology while stepping up innovation technology, and guide and promote the transformation of military capacity building from coping with crisis to shaping the future, from threat-based to capability-based, and from focusing on process to focusing on effect with both soft and hard hands.
