With the help of sensitive and efficient digital communication network, the digital battlefield from the rear senior command organization to the front individual soldier, from the long-range combat troops to the mobile combat department (unit), from the strategic space reconnaissance satellite to the tactical weapon platform will be integrated into one, realizing fast and convenient information exchange and information sharing, making the battlefield highly transparent. According to foreign reports, in an exercise to test the construction of "digital battlefield", the US military could not hear the noisy voice in the command post, nor could it see the huge battle map hanging on the wall. Instead, there are more than a dozen large computer screens. The commander can clearly see the fighting situation of the warring sides from the display screen, and the "fighting" scenes such as tank clusters, ships and eagles, and even individual actions are vivid. These battle images were originally shot at the "battle scene" and sent back by many miniature camera stations through communication systems. These miniature camera devices are installed on unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, tanks and armored vehicles, or in front of the helmets of "electronic warriors". They convert the captured image signals into digital signals and send them to the headquarters in real time through the communication system. The computer control and processing center in the headquarters automatically plots and displays the battle situation of the enemy and ourselves according to various image information from all directions, and transmits relevant information to all combat units in time through the information network. As a result, all kinds of weapons controlled by electronic computers fired "long-eyed" shells and hit the enemy accurately, while the American troops close to the enemy were safe and sound. Military experts pointed out that the transparency of the future digital battlefield and the accuracy of combat weapons, although not 100% accurate, are at least one order of magnitude higher than the Gulf War.

With the digital communication system as the link, the digital battlefield can greatly enhance the interoperability between various combat platforms on the battlefield, which is conducive to joint operations and cooperative operations, which was a very headache for the US military in the past. 199 1 Gulf War, the loss of multinational forces led by the US military 148 people. Due to the imperfect cooperative communication between arms, there is a problem with the friend-or-foe identification device, and the accidental injury phenomenon is serious. 1/4 casualties were not killed by Iraqi guns, but by their own gunfire; 1/6 The injured person is an accidental injury; Four fifths of the heavily damaged armored vehicles were hit by American tanks and planes. One of the most serious "accidents" was that an American fighter accidentally injured an armored car of the British army, killing all nine people on board. After the war, it was confirmed by the investigation of the US Department of Defense that it was difficult for the headquarters to fully grasp the ever-changing battlefield situation because of the lack of effective communication between the three armed forces.
