"There is a large screen in our headquarters. This large screen can replace the role of the sand table. On the screen, all our troops can have a panoramic view."
Qin Guan began to introduce: "you can use reconnaissance satellites in the sky and surveillance aircraft on the battlefield. Many of them are remote-controlled and unmanned aircraft, which can transmit the pictures on the battlefield in real time."
"On our screen, from the whole army to a tank, all vehicles and positions can be displayed. The situation of enemy and our attack can be seen at a glance. Even when necessary, our headquarters can directly pass orders to a combat vehicle below."
"How is this possible?" major Yang, who was on one side, couldn't help interrupting when he heard Qin Guan's words.
Even major Yang doesn't believe it.
At present, the military command system of almost all countries is a tree. The orders of the superior need to be passed down layer by layer. If there is a problem at a certain node, for example, if the headquarters of a division loses contact, the division will lose contact, and if the headquarters of a regiment loses contact, the regiment will be unable to command.
We all know the disadvantages of this command system, but there is nothing we can do to improve it.
Radio?
The most common means in this era is radio, but it is not easy to command by radio because the channel is limited.
Generally speaking, a tank company is a cluster. Everyone's radio frequency is adjusted to the same position. In this way, when one tank speaks, other tanks can hear it. When fighting, it will be noisy.
The commander's command car of the tank company has two radio stations, one is in contact with the lower level and the other is in contact with the higher level. Therefore, the task of the company commander is even heavier. In the previous establishment of tank soldiers, a special radio soldier was even needed to do this.
The headquarters direct command of a tank car? How?
The distance of the tank soldier's radio station is only 20 kilometers, which is just enough for their internal communication distance. Only the tank radio station of the company commander has a transmission distance of more than 100 kilometers and can contact the superior.
So it needs two antennas.
For other tanks, just one antenna.
If the two antennas are directly separated in this way, the tank unit will lose contact with the superior as long as the two antennas are knocked out. Therefore, all tanks carry two antennas, one of which is fake for the command vehicle.
Now, Qin Guan said that major Yang, who was born in the army, would never believe it, which was beyond his scope of understanding.
"If we still carry out according to our current equipment, it will certainly not work. Therefore, our future army will be digital," Qin Guan said "In recent years, our computers have developed rapidly, and our microelectronics technology has developed rapidly. If we popularize advanced computers in the army and form a network, for example, each vehicle has a network terminal to directly contact the superior, our headquarters can directly issue orders to each terminal in the computer system, wouldn't it be ok?"
Qin Guan knew that it was difficult for the people in front of him to understand. They were not proficient in using computers. It was not easy for them to realize the great role of networking.
Now, Qin Guan can only say this. How to win the future war? Digitization, networking and informatization are necessary.
The tank troops of the Xiong people are quite terrible, so what? We can coordinate the overall situation and command. When the other party breaks in, we can directly command the chariots in front, insert them behind them and hit their fuel supply convoy, so as to collapse the enemy army in front.
There were such ideas in the past, but it was not easy to command because of the command system.
"Network?"
"Yes, connecting computers forms a network. Just like fishing nets, every node is a computer, and everyone can share data." Qin Guan continued: "you should know that the West has come to the forefront in this regard, and we are also catching up."
What's the use of a single machine? Networking can only work. Of course, Qin Guan knows everything about future generations and the direction of technological development.
"How do you know the location of each car?" just then, the No. 1 chief opened his mouth.
"Of course, it's a satellite positioning system. We are currently preparing to launch this project. In short, there are satellites in space and constantly send time information. As long as we can receive the information sent by three satellites on the ground, we can calculate the distance to the three satellites. We can know our position by three-point positioning."
Qin Guan continued: "this system, first of all, serves our submarines. Ballistic missile submarines sail underwater for a long time, and positioning is a big problem."
No. 1 chief nodded: "yes, what you said really opened everyone's eyes to fight the bear army through high technology, that is, fight mechanization with electronization and informatization?"
"Yes," said Qin Guan. The No. 1 leader can steer the whole country. Sure enough, this idea is very clear and knowledgeable. That's what he meant.
Mechanization has been developed for decades. Unfortunately, the domestic army has not been realized, and motorization has not been realized. However, Qin Guan put forward a plan for overtaking in curves, that is, informatization.
Now it's science fiction, but if it can be realized, the situation of the war will be completely different. The enemy and we are completely transparent. When fighting, we know ourselves and the enemy and win every battle.
"This must rely on advanced electronic technology, but once a nuclear war breaks out, I'm afraid all our equipment will fail?" major Yang asked.
This is also a doubt of many people. Those integrated circuits, no matter how strengthened, have very weak anti electromagnetic pulse ability. Once a nuclear war breaks out, these equipment will lose effectiveness.
Therefore, Xiong Guo is not willing to use too many integrated circuits. He would rather continue to use his own electronic tubes, which is to prepare for nuclear war.
"If nuclear war really breaks out, do we still need troops?" Qin Guan asked.
Many people do not want to understand this truth. Their army has perfect nuclear, chemical and biological protection capabilities. Even if there is a nuclear explosion in front, the army can rush in a few hours after the nuclear explosion.
However, if there is a nuclear war, does it still need an army?
It can be said that if you dare bomb my army station and kill tens of thousands of soldiers, I'm worried and stingy with nuclear bombs? Will certainly greet your big city!
Once there is a nuclear war, it is devastating. Greet each other's big cities and capitals directly. After that, the earth will perish.
"I can assert that nuclear deterrence will always be a kind of deterrence and will not become a real nuclear war. Xiong Guo's western 81 military exercise does not intend to use nuclear bombs. We should focus on the future conventional war, not this kind of nuclear war."
Qin Guan continued: "chief, let's use this exercise to show the world our new military theory and our ability to deal with large-scale invasion!"
