Beidou system to protect the People’s Liberation Army development steering precision attack by the human wave tactics.

Tri-Service Common Data Link, new equipment, so that the various branches of the People’s Liberation Army said goodbye to the era of “go it alone”. The foreign media that China has now begun to take the various armed services, information technology, network warfare capability.

the 21st century battlefield surging flood of information from the previous local wars, who have mastered the control of information will come to touch the key to the door of victory. In recent years, concerns that China’s military modernization, western media focus on “tangible” combat platform, ignoring the progress of the People’s Liberation Army in the field of information technology. Indeed, the complexity of information warfare, so that it is often beyond the scope of public awareness, but according to official disclosure sporadic, the outside world can still piece of a jigsaw.

combat forces by the combat force multiplier

according to a Canadian “Han and defense review,” the magazine said, the PLA information warfare attention, showing signs as early as after the Gulf War in 1991. In a war that lasted two months, the U.S. military for the first time the use of a data link to link up the various branches of the military advantage of the formation of the system has completely overwhelmed the Iraqi army to defeat the Iraqi army known as one million extremely weak casualties. This “asymmetrical” war to the Chinese greatly inspired since then, the PLA began to invest the huge amount of resources the development of the Tri-Service Common Data Link. Over the years, “Armed Forces Common Data Link has burst on the scene towering.

Han and editor-in-chief Andrei Chang, combination in the article, said the data analysis, the PLA army, air force, navy and the Second Artillery are equipped with information technology pilot forces, such as The main battle tanks and field artillery of the Army, the Air Force’s new fighter, the Navy’s new ships, as well as the Second Artillery Corps, ballistic missiles are equipped with a Tri-Service Common Data Link. Careful observation of the Chinese official media reported that military training can often see the Common Data Link has become the Force “force multiplier” joint combat capability of the People’s Liberation Army in the information technology conditions to be enhanced, and gradually change the various branches singles Dudou situation.

For example, in a naval cross maneuvers, the North Sea Fleet destroyer entered the East China Sea, joint training with the East China Sea Fleet of vessel formation. The drills focus on the North Sea Fleet destroyers as a fleet command ship, early warning surveillance plane in front to collect data link system to the “enemy” information, an endless stream real-time transmission to the carrier-based operations command center, the formation of heads of real-time target information, command destroyers and frigates from various units, joined together to launch BVR missile attack …

in Shenyang Military Region held a joint ground and air exercises in the ground attack group attack in depth, when suddenly the fire interception, the front commander immediately start to carry data link terminals, data transmission directly to guide the air standby cluster implementation support. Less than 10 seconds, the pilot sent back and targets have been confirmed, “the feedback, but also after a few seconds, the two fighters threw precision-guided bombs, destroying the enemy firepower. It is said that the integrated command platform set up an interoperability “bridge” between each unit of the People’s Liberation Army joint battle group, to achieve real-time data information between the different weapons platform transfer, exchange, and recognition. “Chinese and” thus believe that China has now begun to take the various armed services, information technology, network warfare capability.

accelerated to catch up with the advanced level of NATO

the past two years, the news for the U.S. Navy anti-ship ballistic missile, the total of international military media interest. “Han and also the latest articles point out that the People’s Liberation Army in order to solve the problem of targeting, specifically developed for the Second Artillery Corps tactical data link it with other services data link networking, transmission of information received by the Navy and Air Force reconnaissance platforms to missile base, and then analyzed and processed, in order to accurately locate enemy ships implementation and lay the foundation for the launch of the follow-up attack.

In fact, the U.S. Naval War College earlier contained the text pointed out that the People’s Liberation Army in order to effectively combat the activities of the high seas aircraft carrier, only long-range missiles is not enough, a prerequisite is to be able to on the aircraft carrier battle groups to the implementation of the continuous tracking and positioning. To this end, China is not only the development of anti-ship ballistic missiles, remote attack aircraft, general and specific data chain, also make great efforts to develop the satellite over the horizon radar and high-altitude long-endurance reconnaissance UAV, and advanced surveillance equipment and the Tri-Service Common Data Link and the Second Artillery data link network, relying on a comprehensive means of reconnaissance and surveillance to keep track of the aircraft carrier battle group.

should face up to is that China has made great progress in the field of information warfare, there is still a gap compared with the NATO. Some analysts said the data chain is still in the initial stage of the PLA, the data capacity, anti-jamming, software, human-machine interface, transmission speeds are inferior to similar products in the West, nor the reliability of the combat is essential for excellence. In addition, the Chinese armed forces, including the data link model of the Second Artillery Corps is a bit bulky, a combination of domestic and imported, and how different standard equipment integration is not a small problem. In contrast, the use of NATO data link for decades, and have long been standardized.

But foreign media also acknowledged that since China has realized the importance of the data chain, enhance the combat capability of information technology, and continue to be significant investment in the development and application of related equipment, the gap at the technical level with NATO must be gradually reduced.
