网络中心战作战效能研究与应用

随着网络信息技术的发展,计算机网络在军事斗争中应用越来越多,网络中心战已成为一种新的作战概念和作战样式,实现了从消耗型作战向更快更有效的战争方式转变。在网络中心战特征分析基础上,建立网络中心战模型,主要研究了网络中心战的作战效能。计算实例表明,所建数学模型科学合理,效能分析方法可靠。     

对网络中心战认识的深化

在战争背景下,地域上分散的部队以网络为中心实施的军事行动,称为网络中心战(Network Centric Wartare),“网络中心战”是相对于传统“平台中心战”的一种新作战概念。平台中心战的各作战平台主要依靠自身的探测器和武器进行作战, 而网络中心战则把各参战部队、各作战平台连为一体, 使分散配置的兵力,兵器能有效地协调行动。1997年4月23日,美国海军作战部长约翰逊上将首次提出“网络中心战”概念,引起美国防部和国际防务界的极大关注。美军率先开展了“网络中心战”的研究与实践。2001年7月27日,美国国防部递交国会《网络中心战》报告,标志着美三军统一了认识,开始全面推进网络中心战建设。本刊近几年曾多次刊登有关网络中心战的文章。《美军网络中心战》专题将全面介绍美三军网络中心战建设的新进展。     

防空反导网络化作战发展研究

网络中心战是信息时代重要的作战形式,可将战场信息优势转化为决策优势,是信息技术在军事领域应用的必然选择,网络中心战在防空反导领域的应用也称为防空反导网络化作战.主要跟踪研究了国内外网络中心战的最新进展和发展趋势,分析了网络化作战的特点和关键技术,针对我国防空反导武器系统的现状,提出了防空反导网络化作战的发展建议.     

作战实验催生美军新战法

信息化条件下，作为战争预实践的有效方法和手段的作战实验，以其高适用性和应用领域受到越来越多国家的重视，美军作战实验水平在各国军队中处于领先水平，成为打赢未来战争和塑造未来军队的科学工具。以“网络中心战”为代表的一系列新的作战理念提出，无不是经过作战实验千锤百炼形成的结果。文章将从研究网络中心战概念、发展网络中心战技术、建设网络中心战部队、验证网络中心战能力四个方面透视作战实验的威力。     

网络中心战体系中的指挥控制

信息时代的来临,引发了军事理论战争形态和作战样式等方面的一系列新变化。网络中心战作为指导信息化战争的一种重要作战理论,已经成为当今世界军事科学研究的热点和重点问题之一。网络中心战的作战效果源于指挥艺术,仅仅依赖新技术、现代化的作战平台不足以发挥网络中心战的潜在优势。为阐明这一观点,从探讨利用指挥与控制环境将网络中心战转化为作战能力的过程入手,提出了预见性战场空间感知、赛博作战行动和称为态势感知信息球的新概念,以及如何将它们应用于网络中心战。最后举例说明态势感知信息球如何用于作战,以及网络中心战面临的技术挑战。     

网络中心战对潜艇作战指挥的影响

网络中心战是由美军提出的一种在信息化战争中的作战模式,通过分析网络中心战的概念框架结构,得出在网络中心战条件下军队应该具备的三种能力.同时潜艇作为信息化海战中的主要作战平台,网络中心战理论的提出改变了潜艇传统的作战模式,对我海军潜艇作战指挥和装备的发展有着重要的参考价值.     

支持网络中心作战的C4ISR系统指标

网络中心战表现出一种新的思维模式,注重应用信息时代理论和技术提高部队的战斗力和军事行动的任务效能.从顶层概念和价值链等角度介绍了网络中心战在理论研究方面的最新成果"网络中心作战概念框架";从系统核心能力的角度出发,借鉴网络中心作战概念框架,提出并分析了支持网络中心战的C4ISR系统的评价指标体系.     

网络中心战条件下的导弹作战模拟研究

从网络中心战的概念入手,分析了网络中心战条件下导弹作战的概念;从导弹作战系统入手,结合网络中心作战样式,分析了网络中心战条件下导弹作战系统内部结构;从系统动力学基本原理出发,结合导弹作战的概念和结构,建立了网络中心战条件下导弹作战的系统动力学模型;从作战想定出发,突出战场制信息权的重要性,制定了作战对策,形成了导弹作战对策的结论;最后提出了加强我军导弹部队信息化建设的建议.     

网络中心战发展对装备建设的影响

网络中心战是信息化战争的一种重要样式,与传统的“以平台为中心”的战争有着本质区别。平台中心战依靠自身的传感器和武器系统形成战斗力,需要通过集结大量的兵力来扩大作战能力。在网络中心战样式下,态势感知、指挥控制和作战功能通过网络融为一体,明显增强了各作战单元间的信息共享能力,扩大了作战空间,提高了作战的速度、精度、灵活性、适应性和同步性,倍增了整体作战效能。目前,美军正在全面提高网络中心战能力,拟用30年时间实现网络中心战目标。除美国以外的其他一些国家,参照美国的经验,也把发展网络中心战能力放在首位,并把提高网络…     

美海军网络中心战的形成和发展

美海军为了在兵力规模缩小的条件下主宰未来战场,已经把提高作战能力的支点放在了利用信息技术进行系统集成以实现作战系统的一体化上,而网络中心战则是这一发展趋势的必然结果。目前,网络中心战的概念已经建立,相关技术装备的研发已经初具规模,其作战效果已经初步显现。可以认为,网络中心战代表了未来信息化作战的发展趋势,对此我们必须加以认真研究。     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.     

Helping hands: external support for the KNU insurgency in Burma

This article analyses to what extent the Burmese KNU insurgency made use of external support from states, refugees, and diasporas. Based on extensive fieldwork it is concluded that support from neighbouring states and refugees has for years kept the Karen rebellion alive. Western countries perceived forms of resistance to the illegitimate Burmese regime as just and have therefore played a crucial role in the continuation of conflict in Karen State. It is important that policymakers and donors as well as executing organizations continue to reflect critically on the way they exercise their work.

Cyber sheiks and grassroots jihadis: the war in Syria and the devolution of the Bosnian Salafi communities

ABSTRACT

What was the scope of the Bosnian jihadi participation in the war in Syria? Did the Bosnian volunteers tend to join one particular faction? Why did the Bosnian youngsters decide to join the holy war in the Levant? Was this an organized and hierarchical process or was this a grassroots movement? Last, were all the Salafis in Bosnia supportive of this dynamic or did this process cause internal frictions? These are some of the questions that this research will try to answer.
