against the face of an increasingly unbalanced pattern of open space, enhance the “Marine of the King” on the air combat capability, both the immediate survival needs of the battlefield, but also the Army fighting capacity building needs attention of a new direction.

21 century, the high-tech weapons and equipment gathered in space, ground and air forces imbalance has become increasingly prominent. How to reverse the passive situation of air defense, armored and mechanized units carry out the task has become a top priority.

fighting construction of a new trend

battlefield center of gravity “floating on a” pull. The rapid development of science and technology, space weapons, the number of quality soaring, battlefield focus to drift space, the war power must have three-dimensional combat capability, ground forces must have air and space attack. Armored and mechanized units “way forward” in the traditional combat mode, showing a weakness in the information age. Armored and mechanized units need to be strengthened in parallel with solid-strong combat force, but also need to increase focus on the construction of air combat as to fill the weak.

combat structural optimization of traction. Industrial age, the basic pattern of operations along the horizon, assault, military combat force is parallel to generate attacks on the main theme. Information age, the battlefield is vast, three-dimensional multi-warring forces, weapons array bit interleaved multi-dimensional, three-dimensional attack is a war strength of the basic requirements. Armored mechanized fighting structure has always been flat, raised only to the space in order to meet the needs of the battlefield airborne gravity; always lying in the fighting, and only then assigned to a lever on the air, it may not be natural enemies of the worries, vertical and horizontal on the information battlefield.

the birth of the local practice of war. Throughout the recent local wars, the overall performance of the system based on operational information systems capabilities, embodied for the discovery that the ability to destroy the three-dimensional attack. The armored and mechanized units of military force to combat a serious shortage of space, a certain sense, has become the combat capability of the short board. Strengthen the “Marine of the King” on the air combat force, both to improve the combat capability of the inherent requirement for winning the information war era issues.

concept of change is key

change “center of gravity in front of the war” concept. “After the enemy before me” “After the first security crisis”, was a battlefield for thousands of years the basic form. But today’s battlefield, fighting the uncertainties increase the focus, “target” type of center of gravity no longer exists. Especially in the short-range precision-guided weapons, far from the extensive application of the threat has become the head of ground forces into the battle of the “gate of hell.” “King of Land Warfare,” Falcon’s face looking down, to achieve in the hail of bullets in the dash, the energy must also take into account the operational overhead.

change “a tree of high security” concept. Air weapons can not see the concept of security, limiting the armored and mechanized units of the air strike capability development; horizon assault is the core concept of fighting, more so-to-air combat effectiveness of armored and mechanized units is always in the protection level. Practice shows that modern warfare, armored mechanized units urgent need to change “a tree high” security concept, with “active listening that is able to intercepting and found that you can quickly destroy” the air combat, in order to expand the battle space.

changes “dependent external defense” concept. Although the information battlefield joint operations, but in some local and special conditions, the timing of force is still a lot of independent operations. Even in the large-scale joint operations, the local air defense, air time, also asked the head of the army to ensure security. Armored and mechanized units must change dependent on the concept of air defense force, while strengthening and enhancing the platform for a single combat air strike capability, force the other to enhance information systems-based system-to-air combat force, in order to improve co-operation with the air defense forces .

in the “fulcrum” on strong as

build a strong arms “fulcrum.” One is to increase car-to-air combat force. Performance by increasing air weapons, air weapons development capabilities, such as new types of path-to-air weapons, the tank-to-air fire weak status been fundamentally reversed. Second, members have to set the air combat capability. As the carrier member was equipped with high-performance air-to-air missiles or other light weapons, can achieve cycle-to-air combat capabilities span upgrade. Third, the development of new-to-air weapons and platforms. Armored and mechanized units only constantly develop fielding a new-to-air combat weapons, in order to ensure its “way forward” carry out combat missions.

integrated organizational structure “fulcrum.” Structure determines function. Armored and mechanized units in the fusion and cell-to-air combat platform is undoubtedly enhance air combat capability of the basic path. One is to strengthen the end of synthesis, from the class, row level to achieve the integration of ground-strike capability, so that tanks, infantry fighting vehicles or armored vehicles, antiaircraft “three war one” establishment, is to improve its air combat capability effective way. Second, adjusting the system compiled structure. Compiled in the current armor, guns accounted for the proportion of land is to improve the long-range fire strike capability. Information conditions, with the precision-guided firepower, especially armored vehicles from their firepower increases, diminishing the role of ground artillery. Integration of ground artillery and tanks, armored vehicles as a whole, while increasing the anti-aircraft and anti-lead forces, should be the “King of Land Warfare,” construction and development of the basic trend. Past a group of a division, a brigade a battalion of artillery establishment, has been difficult to meet the needs of today’s air combat. Third, increase the new air defense forces.

build military training “fulcrum.” Upgrade-to-air combat force, inseparable from the scientific and military close combat training. One is to strengthen the training base. Air and space weapons in the air-ground realistic combat simulation and training on the real trick, and the military-to-air combat capability to generate and increase real. Second, build a training simulation platform. High-tech air situation, a large training costs, and some subjects are unable to set realistic simulation more difficult. Air Force simulation training from developed countries, the present situation, the virtual reality simulation for trainees to provide a variety of difficulties, at risk, such as high-risk situation desperate to improve the handling of hazardous emergency incidents.

enhance the operational theory “fulcrum.” Mechanical conditions, armored mechanized war theory is to deal mainly with the anti-land Corps assault assault, “defeated the Front” is the operational theory of the axis, along the horizon saw the basic features of the theory of combat. Information battlefield, the direction of three-dimensional threat, especially air and space threat intensifies, the theory must break the plane operational requirements demand response model, based on “the threat of three-dimensional, three-dimensional war, joint operations,” re-build, and explore practical ways and means of warfare of different weapons to explore the system based on information systems strategy of the air explore bundled with other branches of the air program of action, so that perfect pair of head of the air operation to ensure safety.
