In the late 20th century, the integrated circuit technology was refreshed every 18 months, and the micro-processing speed increased by nearly 10 times every year, and the network scale increased geometrically.

At that time, Comrade Deng Xiaoping profoundly pointed out: "It is necessary for us to modernize the command system, look at the backwardness of others and find out the gap. Can we start a war just by telephone as usual? We should gradually modernize the command system, and don't delay too long!

From 65438 to 0993, the CMC made a series of major arrangements, such as actively promoting military reform with China characteristics and implementing the strategy of strengthening the army through science and technology. From 65438 to 0995, the Army Command Automation Construction Committee was established, which further strengthened the organization and leadership of command automation system construction and started a number of weapons and equipment construction projects with high information content and key military-civilian joint construction projects.

The CMC has established the strategic goal of "building an information-based army and winning the information-based war" and put forward the road of compound development of mechanization and information.

Only by recognizing the historical position can we grasp the development direction and accurately locate it can we keep a clear head.

Its essence is to give full play to the leading role of information ability in the generation of combat effectiveness and make informatization a multiplier of military combat effectiveness. Its fundamental purpose is to improve the system capability based on information system and gradually build a joint combat system under the condition of informationization of our army. The process of promoting the informatization construction of the army is the process of accelerating the transformation of the generation mode of combat effectiveness and the process of realizing the historic transformation of the people's army. Taking accelerating the transformation of combat effectiveness generation mode as the main line, we will accelerate the development of military information construction, with ideas determining the way out and methods determining success or failure. -
5 ? +o . j； O7 x) y- F# _ Scientific overall planning is an important guarantee. Accelerate the transformation of the combat effectiveness generation mode and promote the informationization construction of the military, which runs through all links and fields of military activities and affects the whole body. Only by changing the situation that all business departments, services, arms and units in the past worked in their own way according to their own understanding of informatization, and overcoming the phenomenon that the system was "full of chimneys", the system was "rigid but not alive" and put into "pepper noodles" in the past, can we accelerate and develop rapidly. We should adhere to the basic principle of "catching up with others, not catching up with others", adhere to the development concept of "local transcendence drives comprehensive catching up with others", avoid taking the detours that others have taken and not paying the tuition fees they have paid; Establish an integrated information management department, improve the supporting policies and regulations system, improve the scientific and smooth working mechanism, and prevent blind launching and spreading of stalls, and prevent the emergence of new "information chimneys" and "information islands". 1 f，K6 t' C6 ^
Renewing ideas is the basic premise. The military revolution that is taking place in today's era is much more profound and complicated than any military revolution in history, but the ideas, habits and mindset left by mechanized war are too profound and firm. The outdated concept is like a fog barrier, which makes some comrades sound the horn of change, but they are walking at a wandering pace; The body has entered the information age, but the brain is still in the mechanized age. History has repeatedly proved that advanced ideas are the soul of military practice. Without the ideological revolution, the technological revolution will surely fail. The enlightenment of history and the challenge of reality require us to break through the thick cocoon and heavy shell of mechanization, bravely liberate ourselves from those ideas and thinking that once brought us glory but proved to be outdated, and establish new ideas and new thinking suitable for changing the generation mode of combat effectiveness. )n； u2 q，V.

Talent first is the fundamental policy. Among the factors that accelerate the transformation of combat effectiveness generation mode, human is the most active and decisive factor. With the wide application of modern science and technology in the military field, the role of human factors in the generation of combat effectiveness has not decreased, but has become more prominent. In the future information battlefield, talents with a new generation of information technology and high information literacy will play an increasingly important role. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of information-based talent team, vigorously promote the strategic project of information-based talent training, and scientifically build an information-based talent training system; Give full play to the main channel of talent training in colleges and universities, establish a perfect professional system of military information discipline, and consolidate the foundation of information talent training in our army; Organize joint combat exercises of various services and arms under the condition of informationization, comprehensively improve the informationization level of command and technical personnel, and provide talent and intellectual support for the formation of system capabilities. 1 s" V F. ]9 _ w，p/ ~
Independent innovation is the eternal power. The core technology can't be bought, even if it is bought, there are security risks; Simple technical imitation can't go far, and it can only bring short-term benefits at most, not the ability to surpass; It is not enough to rely on quotation alone, and relying on others is bound to be subject to others. Only by insisting on independent innovation can our army's informatization construction reduce risks and remain invincible. We should take the national innovation system as the basic support, improve the ability of independent innovation as the strategic basis, give full play to the advantages of backwardness, and firmly grasp the lifeline of information construction in our own hands; According to the idea of "learning from others and not being controlled by others", we should embark on a road of military informatization construction with independent innovation as the main factor.

Taking the road of integration of defense and civilian technologies's development is a strategic requirement to realize the organic unity of a rich country and a strong army, and it is also an objective law that must be followed to speed up the transformation of combat effectiveness generation mode. Information technology has military and civilian universality, and information infrastructure has military and civilian applicability. Especially with the rapid development of national information construction, it is not only of considerable scale, but also superior to the overall development level of the military.
