Summary

Machine summary

A PLA doctrinal essay by Cheng Song and Song Yongjian argues that modern warfare requires concentrating superiority (聚优) not through physical mass but through three integrated mechanisms: system-of-systems networking for shared situational awareness, cross-domain kill chains using OODA-loop compression, and terminal autonomy (末端自主) that delegates decision authority to front-line units via edge computing and tactical cloud. The piece documents how PLA theorists are formalizing the tension between centralized intent and decentralized execution—a persistent command-and-control problem the force has not resolved—by reframing it as a technical solution rather than an organizational one. The framing points to institutional pressure to justify AI-enabled autonomy at the tactical edge as a doctrinal imperative rather than an experimental option, though whether any specific unit or platform has operationalized these concepts remains unstated.

善聚优者胜 ■程松宋永健《孙子兵法》有言：“我专为一，敌分为十，是以十攻其一也，则我众而敌寡。”现代战争中，战场态势实时共享、决策周期大幅压缩、作战力量分散配置，战争全域性、联动性、时敏性、复杂性持续攀升。面对这种情况，唯有紧盯科技之变、战争之变、对手之变，因时、因地、因情灵活聚优，发挥体系对局部、全域对单域、灵活对机械的优势，方能最大限度释放作战效能、牢牢把握制胜优势。体系汇能，聚势制胜。现代战争的战场空间已从传统作战域向新型领域拓展，体系较量更加凸显。聚优不仅追求兵力物理集中，更强调依托作战体系统筹全域资源，做到先敌一步快速反应，推动体系优势加速转化为战场胜势。一方面，要构建互联互通网络，奠定统一调度基础。围绕打通各作战领域力量协同链路，构建智能赋能的互联互通网络，按需快速建立局部协调行动网络，压缩决策层级和时间成本，实现稳定可靠、高速准确的信息流转与交互。另一方面，要强化战场感知能力，支撑战略精准研判。综合运用陆、海、空、天、电、网等多领域的各类侦察感知手段，构建全天候、全维度的战场感知优势，为各作战行动相互补充、作战单元相互配合提供依据，确保决策判断及时准确。跨域融合，聚效制胜。在高强度、快节奏的现代战场上，只有畅通各作战单元之间的协同配合，在最短时间内集聚效能，才能占据作战主导地位，赢得先机主动。一方面，要动态编组作战力量。借助智能技术，实时动态分析敌情、我情和战场变化，依据任务需求灵活编组各军兵种力量，实现兵力分散部署、效能集中释放，支撑巩固和扩大战场优势。另一方面，要构建智能敏捷杀伤链。将广域分布的一线兵力和武器平台深度耦合，基于攻防作战协同规则，高效贯通“OODA”链路，实现跨域聚能、联动增效，进而夺取对敌实施全域作战的局部战场主导权，推动战局向有利于己的方向发展。末端自主，聚力制胜。战场上，对时敏目标的打击需要在短暂的“时间窗口”内完成，要求战术末端能够快速行动形成整体合力，支撑战役乃至战略层面的优势构建。一是自主临机决策。依托边缘计算、战术云等，适时下放决策权限至一线作战单元，实施自主决策，在贯彻上级意图的同时，临机定下处置决心，确保行动与决策上下贯通、协调一致。二是主动及时协同。围绕战场内其他作战力量的各种行动，主动配合协同并达成联动作战效果，以确保作战目标达成。三是精确分配资源。借助大数据、云计算等技术，结合作战双方力量、作战潜力、综合保障等因素进行深度挖掘与分析，预测作战行动持续时间，计算作战行动资源分配，精准协调一线行动和作战进程，确保以最小代价换取最大战果，提高作战效费比。
