Chapter 228: Information Warfare
Is it a joke to know the location of each of your tanks, to know the location of each of the enemy's tanks? Hearing the answer of the major general beside him, Colonel Vyacheslav of the Transcaucasian Military District couldn't help frowning, he was the commander of the tank unit, and he didn't have the luxury of expecting to know exactly the location of each tank. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ogarkov was quite shocked in his heart, the major general officer in front of him summed it up too correctly! The right to information! Like air supremacy and sea supremacy, it has risen to a new height! Such a word, even I didn't summarize myself!
"Good!" Ogarkov said: "What's your name? Which military district? ”
"Andrei Vladimirvich Tolstoy." Andrei looked at the Marshal of the Soviet Union in front of him, puffed up his chest and said loudly: "I have been serving in the Far Eastern Military District. ”
Far Eastern Military District, Major General Andrey! Sure enough, it's a talent! Ogarkov naturally knows everything Andrei has done in the Far Eastern Military District, and it can be said that the new situation created by the Far Eastern strategy now is the credit of Andrei! Such a young commander actually has such a long-term vision and is at the forefront of everything!
"Major General Andrei, can you explain to us how we can accurately obtain the location of each tank in battle?" Ogarkov said to Andrei.
After all, now all the Soviet tank units are equipped with radio stations for communication, many practical ones are still old-fashioned radios, and the number of new-style frequency-hopping radios is not much, and you want to rely on voice to report the location of each tank? On the battlefield this is simply impossible.
"From the point of view of the prior art. The most straightforward way to do this is to install a radio beacon transmitter on every tank. Then in the rear, computers are used to analyze the data from each tank's beacon transmitter to determine the location. If in the long run. We would do well to build a global positioning system similar to that of the United States, using satellites in the air to determine the position of each of our combat vehicles. Andrei said: "I think that the global positioning system formed by the satellite network in the air will play a vital role in the future development of our army, and the first link of our information warfare is positioning, to determine the position of our own army, to determine the position of the enemy, and all these troops." It will be displayed on the terminal of the command headquarters under the information processing system of the electronic computer, and our commanders at the highest level of the campaign, through the advanced information command system, can even directly order a combat vehicle and a soldier to the front line. In this way, the combat effectiveness of our army will be completely changed. ”
Now, the chain of command of the Soviet Army. It's still tree-like, and the orders are passed down one level at a time, and I don't know how much time it will waste, and now. These suggestions put forward by Andre are the most original, even if they are the academy-level leaders present. It all feels so fresh.
However, it was quite to Ogarkov's liking! Ogarkov has been advocating for army reform. It has always been hoped that the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army will be increased by military reforms, and in future generations. It was not until '79 that he formally proposed: The rapid development of information technology with electronic computers as the core and the emergence of a large number of precision-guided weapons will certainly fundamentally break the old development model of the armed forces and promote and promote the occurrence of a new military revolution.
This set of theories did not stir up much waves in the Soviet Union, but it crossed the ocean, came to the side of the Americans, was taken seriously, the American army began to change, and it played a huge role in the Gulf War in 91.
Now, Andrei's description is equivalent to a deep revelation to Ogarkov.
"Our army has always won with firepower, for example, before the battle, we must carry out an artillery fire cover, if we have information superiority, for example, we can accurately know the specific coordinates of each of the enemy's fortifications, each combat vehicle, and assign targets to our howitzers, so that we can use one-tenth of the ammunition to complete the previous combat effect." Andrei continued: "The war of the future generations will be information-based warfare, and the firepower strike system with digital information technology as the core, precision-guided weapons as the backbone, and the electronic countermeasure system represented by electronic jamming equipment will become an important pillar of the army's survival and victory. Whoever controls the information wins the war. We must shift from the concept of winning by firepower to the concept of winning by information, and use the concept of winning by information to build the army and prepare for war. We should build a unit that is supported by computer technology and networked with digital communication technology, so that the troops can be transformed from individual soldiers to commanders at all levels, and all kinds of combat, combat support, and combat support systems will have the functions of acquiring, transmitting, and processing battlefield information. ”
Andre finished speaking, sat down, these are all later generations of Andre when he was idle, listening to Zhang Juzuo's introduction, as Shen Fei's test pilot, Andrei's understanding of the situation of the army is carried out through the bureau. And now, with these words, in the highest academic institution of the USSR Military Academy, in front of Marshal Ogarkov, who led the tide of military change, in front of the leadership of the academy at all levels, cadets at all levels, Andrei caused an earthquake.
New Military Revolution, Informationized Troops!
Ogarkov's eyes lit up, and at this moment, he almost decided that Andrei was the most suitable commander of the new unit he was looking for!
Ogarkov realized that a military revolution was coming, just like the mechanized warfare caused by the massive use of tanks in World War II, and that the continuous development of electronic technology would inevitably lead to a struggle in another dimension. However, Ogarkov has been alone.
The army is the most conservative, especially now that the Soviet Union has a huge army and a rigid system, no one wants to change. Ogarkov came to give a lecture at the Frunze Military Academy, the first person to give a lecture by a marshal, and he wanted to promote his own theory, and he also expected how much resistance he would face, even in his capacity as a marshal, he could not convince everyone present.
However, I did not expect that an officer of the Far Eastern Military District, who was not from the Army, but an officer of the Territorial Defense Force, actually proposed the right to information! Moreover, there are both theoretical and practical solutions! The Army personnel present were also able to see what a huge advantage it would be to give the commander a clear idea of where each tank was located! It can be said that the commander can use half of the previous tanks to achieve the best combat results!
Positioning, the most critical positioning! Andrey also proposed a solution, a global satellite navigation system!
Such talents must be transferred to their own side! (To be continued.) )
