Summary

Machine summary

An unnamed Information Support Force unit has deployed a self-developed 'fiber-optic radar' integrated system to monitor defense fiber-optic cable lines spanning hundreds of kilometers, replacing manual foot patrols with automated real-time fault localization, vibration classification across more than a thousand environmental profiles, and tiered early warning against construction activity, geological hazards, and cable aging. The article documents a concrete infrastructure-protection problem the ISF inherited when it absorbed communications functions: legacy cable networks buried deep underground were effectively unmonitorable between breaks, creating latent risk to the 网信畅通 (unobstructed network and information communications) mission the force is explicitly tasked with guaranteeing. The framing around autonomous development and proactive early warning fits the ISF's broader push to reduce dependence on manual methods for rear-area communications assurance, though the unit's designation, the cable network's geographic scope, and the system's current deployment scale all remain unspecified.

信息支援部队某部利用科技手段提升光缆维护效能—— 数据链路迎来“智能哨兵” ■赵梓涵信息支援报记者宋心玥深秋，信息支援部队某部值班室内，“光纤雷达”一体化系统大屏突然弹出一条告警信息：“某地区光缆线路受到干扰！” 光缆维护班班长李正东打开手持终端，受干扰线路的坐标、埋深、走向等数据在屏幕上清晰呈现。确定目标位置后，他迅速召集人员赶往故障点位。 “系统数据同步传输到终端，精准定位不再是难题。”谈及这套系统，李正东感慨地说，“以前排查故障靠经验判断，现在有了‘光纤雷达’一体化系统，相当于为数据链路引入了‘智能哨兵’。” 该部维护的国防光缆线路达数百公里，过去巡查维护光缆主要靠官兵“铁脚板”走、“老经验”查，但因光缆深埋地下，出现问题只能逐段摸排，不仅效率不高，还容易影响信息传输。为此，该部自主研发出“光纤雷达”一体化系统，可自动采集光缆数据，实时生成线路图谱和诊断报告。面对外力施工、地质隐患、线路老化等风险，该系统还能实现精确定位、快速识别和分级预警。 “科技手段的应用，让我们巡查线路更加主动。”光缆技师、二级军士长文振明说，“有了这套系统，我们不等断线告急，就能提前预警风险。” 李正东乘坐巡线车抵达故障点位后发现，原来是几名地方工人在“国防光缆”标识牌附近施工。确认光缆安全后，他们现场测试，用铁镐敲击标识牌旁边的地面，手持终端立即显示震动波形并发出预警信息；车辆驶过光缆地段时，手持终端没有弹出告警。李正东告诉笔者，系统内置了上千种复杂环境震动模型。光缆受到震动时，系统便会自动比对，智能判断是环境背景震动还是威胁性施工震动。“‘智能哨兵’的全天候守护，为确保网信畅通夯实了根基。”李正东说。
