What does logistics support look like in the age of intelligence

At present, intelligence is infiltrating into all aspects of social production and life, and the form of war is continuously evolving in depth into information and rapidly developing into intelligence. These profound changes in science and technology and the military will inevitably have a profound impact on logistics support. In the future battlefield, people, equipment, and objects are ubiquitously interconnected. Various types of operations and support entities are integrated into one. Intelligent support platforms dominate all logistic support activities. The new logistic support model of Internet of Everything and intelligent drive support is beginning to emerge and appears. The new trends of integrated energy storage, combined energy accumulation, and accurate energy release are likely to fundamentally change the future battlefield logistics support model.

Build precise intelligent guarantee

    Precise and intelligent guarantee is essentially based on emerging cutting-edge technologies such as information network technology and AI technology. In accordance with the "accurate" exchange of time, space, and efficiency, it strengthens the "zero budget", "zero inventory", and "zero injury and death" guarantees. Philosophy, accurately predicting the need for support, using support forces, releasing support effectiveness, regulating support actions, implementing support assessments, and achieving timely, appropriate, appropriate, and applicable support goals.

    The core of precise and intelligent security is to focus on removing the "two fogs" of security, and to solve the problem of "number" of security. To achieve precise and intelligent security, the fundamental path is to change from quantitative scale to quality efficiency. The key is to optimize the multi-level and multi-professional operation in the traditional mechanization era, and adjust it to the flat, networked operation in the information age to form a standardized and repeatable operation. Low-cost protection of new business formats. Through the information-based transformation of combat and support equipment, the burdensome “physical” and “mechanical” support has given way to “brain power” and “intelligent” support; through “digital earth”, “Internet of Things”, “cloud computing”, and “ Emerging technologies such as "virtual reality" precisely control the consumption of war and budget within a certain range, making it a "clear" war; through the integration of command information system, military logistics information system, and individual information system, Build a battlefield intelligent Internet of Things, precisely control the core process of "what to ask—what is where—where to give how to evaluate", to realize the automatic perception of "personnel flow", "equipment flow", and "material flow". Real-time acquisition, accurate control of equipment and supplies in storage, in operation and repair, and intelligent monitoring of the status of the mission, greatly improving the rapid response ability, battlefield adaptability, and situation awareness. In the future, intelligent support does not need a large amount of inventory and preset pre-storage. Through the intelligent simulation system, the combat demand side and the supply side can be effectively docked to avoid inventory costs and time costs. Logistics support agencies can handle business like mobile phone "WeChat", supply equipment like "courier", arrange vehicle trips like "didi", and organize treatment and maintenance like "registered" hospitals.

    Precise and intelligent support has fundamentally solved the “demand fog” and “resource fog” that existed in previous wars, to achieve precise perception, precise planning, and accurate distribution, and to quickly meet the real-time requirements arising from changes in combat missions, combat environments, and combat situations; Eliminate the ever-expanding "logistical snowball" in the era of mechanized warfare, optimize the composition of the logistics support force system, and more closely match the "tooth and tail" ratio, so that "long tail, low efficiency, and difficult to hide" no longer become a problem for commanders ; Change the traditional protection thinking based on "sufficient guarantee" and regardless of cost, reduce the large-scale ineffective investment and excessive redundancy of people, property, and materials, and make the extensive protection of "better and better" "just in case" a thing of history.

   Construction of Global Wisdom Guarantee

    The global Zhida guarantee is essentially the use of advanced transportation and delivery platforms and AI technology. According to the idea of ​​knowing the needs of the guarantee, the resources visible, and the controllable actions of the safeguard, it can intelligently coordinate the support task, intelligently plan the support path, and intelligently respond to the security situation. Create an intelligent military logistics, unmanned transportation platform, and three-dimensional transportation delivery system to achieve free access in physical space and cyberspace, and achieve the goal of no dead ends, omissions, and seamless protection in the entire region.

    The core of Zhida security in the whole world is to focus on overcoming the space-time obstacles of security and solving the problem of “roads” for security. The key to realizing Zhida support in the whole world is to solve the problem of barrier-free access to the support channels while solving the problem of intelligent logistic support command and control. On the one hand, in the tangible transport delivery channel, we must vigorously develop strategic, campaign, and tactical transport delivery equipment with strong maneuverability, good protection performance, and high intelligence, especially unmanned vehicles, drones, and unmanned boats. And other unmanned intelligent transportation equipment to combine distance, middle, and near distances, large, medium, and small tonnages, land, water, and air combined to form a near, far, and more basis based on security needs. Low, high and low transport delivery capacity, various transport delivery tools can be comprehensively used and seamlessly connected. On the other hand, in the intangible support channel, the information network is used to enrich the protection of time and space, and implement remote support that is not limited by time, space and area. For example, relying on the electronic payment system, across multiple levels, the army can provide all-weather, all-time-space, and direct funding support; through the "telemedicine system" real-time high-definition video images, doctors in the rear can remotely control the scalpel. Operate for the wounded and sick thousands of kilometers away, and achieve the treatment time limit of "1 hour of gold, 10 minutes of platinum"; through the "remote vision system", experts from weapons and equipment manufacturers thousands of miles away can provide long-range combat damage equipment Technical support helps frontline support forces to quickly “diagnose”, quickly “prescribe”, and “regenerate” war-damaged equipment.

    The whole world's Zhida guarantee can break the inertia thinking of "not transporting food for thousands of miles", "exchanging space for time, and seeking speed as fast as possible", and make "supply more important than combat". And anxiety, so that the troops can truly feel that "where the battle is, the logistics can be guaranteed." It can overcome the space obstacles faced by long-distance transportation support and break through the "last mile" support bottleneck that always exists in mechanized warfare. Fearless of mountains, rivers, and gunfire, it shows a "safe, efficient, and sustainable" situation of logistical support throughout the battlefield.

Promote the Convergence of Smart Protection

    The integration of intellectual security guarantees is essentially to connect the "resource cloud" and "demand terminals" to form a "safety network", following the ideas of "not owned by me, but used by me" and "share + custom", drawing on local sharing Economic concepts and methods, relying on intelligent sharing platforms such as cloud reserves, cloud computing, and cloud services between the military and the field, and between the military, to establish an integrated and shared guarantee mechanism, promote the unified construction of military and civilian resources, and break the boundaries of military and land divisions and the barriers of interests. Change the status of "close but not close", implement intelligent military-civilian integration, joint service of the three armed forces, regional sharing, and realize resource sharing, technology sharing, and information sharing.

    The core of the integration of intelligent security protection is to focus on the activation of security resources and solve the problem of securing cloud "banks". The key to realizing integrated intellectual security is to make the multiple elements of security flow quickly and smoothly, so that people can make the best use of their talents and materials. The current era is not only the era of "Internet +", but also the era of "Internet home". The integration of all things is agile and intelligent platforms dominate the drive, making it fast and easy to ensure the smooth and smooth flow of elements. First, between the military and the field, a resource-sharing fusion based on the information network as a platform, a point-based fusion with emerging technologies as the core, and an innovative fusion system centered on high-tech talents, to strengthen the consciousness and ability for the military to serve the war In order to reduce the costs and shrink the stalls in using sufficient resources and local resources to do a good job in logistics support. For example, focusing on a wide range of intelligent battlefields, multi-arms and arms cooperation, multi-platform collaboration, multi-field victory, diversified protection needs, and oceans and sky as important battlefields for intelligent wars. Their capricious and unpredictable natural conditions directly Restricting the effectiveness of logistical support, we can use civil meteorology, hydrology, and remote sensing geographic information to build a military and land resource sharing and common security system, to comprehensively analyze, process and forecast hydrological, meteorological, geological, and geographical data Provide necessary geographic and weather information support for military operations and support activities. The second is to strengthen the joint logistics support among various military services, abandon the "big and complete" support idea, break the traditional closed form of "self-contained system, segmented, and separate wars", and build a "three military joint logistics cloud", Promote the transformation of joint logistics support to "active linkage, comprehensive linkage, and full-range linkage", implement universal support integration, and fundamentally improve military economic benefits. The third is to implement regional sharing between the troops, abandon the "small but complete" support idea, break the closed state of "single family, independent, and non-interaction", establish a "military resource sharing network", and optimize regional shared support resources. Reduce the uneven protection of resources, drought, and floods, and idle waste.

    The integration of intellectual security guarantees can make "share + custom" guarantees the norm, which can not only achieve the joint construction and co-funding of resources among various services, but also a larger scope, higher levels, and deeper levels between military and military Integration, promote the coordinated development of military and economic development in emerging fields, change the clearly defined "one acre and three points" into an open and shared "cloud storage resource bank"; change "my is mine, yours are yours" " The "small pattern" is the "big pattern" of "my is also yours, and yours are mine." The "small guarantee" of small units is changed to the "big guarantee" of the entire army and society. The phenomenon of lingering levels, prominent structural contradictions, and serious waste of resources has achieved a leap in support capabilities and methods. (Hu Yushan, School of Joint Service, National University of Defense)
