Big Data Pushes Military Thinking to Update

? With the rapid development of information technology, big data as a new technical means and way of thinking, widely used in the field of national defense and military construction, is having a greater impact on military thinking.

Big data has prompted the renewal of operational planning. With people's different ways of thinking in the past, big data emphasizes the analysis of the overall data related to something, rather than extracting a small number of data samples; big data focuses on the mixed nature of things, rather than the pursuit of things precise; big data focuses on the correlation of things, rather than exploring the causal relationship between. In the past, due to the lack of available data, the uncertainty of war is very high, and commanders are easily trapped in the "fog of war". The big data era does not require accurate knowledge of every precise data, only need to understand the general picture of things can be. Through the accumulation of a large amount of relevant data and information, rather than the precise analysis of a specific data, from which to extract the law of things running, judging the trend of its development, to provide convenience for combat operations. For example, behind the "Poseidon's Spear" operation of the U.S. Army that killed Osama bin Laden in 2011, it was a decade-long accumulation of data by thousands of data analysts. In other words, it was big data that captured bin Laden.

Big data leads to changes in command and decision-making. In the war, the data comprise all the elements of the war, the emergence of big data will certainly require a new data thinking to assist in command decision-making. Commanders to make command decisions, more and more dependent on a large number of data resources, rather than experience and intuition of the "shooting brain". As long as the mastery of combat data is large enough and real, through in-depth data mining, you can accurately derive the enemy commander's thinking law, predict the opponent's combat operations, and judge the development of the battlefield situation. At the same time, the high-speed computing power provided by big data also helps commanders to more accurately and quickly design combat action programs. Therefore, it is foreseeable that quantitative decision-making based on data will be as important as qualitative decision-making based on experience, and decision-making tools based on big data will rise from the secondary position of assisting decision-making to the important position of supporting decision-making. For example, the United States released the "2013-2017 Department of Defense Science and Technology Investment Priorities," the "data to decision-making" project ranked first, highlighting the huge impact of big data on its command and decision-making methods.

Big data brings new military security risks. In the field of national defense and military construction, the competition for big data technology is becoming increasingly fierce, and the importance of digital sovereignty and data security has risen sharply, bringing new challenges to military information security. With the explosive growth of data volume, on the one hand, there are more and more database loopholes, and the number of targets available for attack increases; on the other hand, attacks hidden in massive data are often difficult to be detected in time, and the leakage of core data will have a fatal impact on national defense and military construction. For example, the "Prism Gate" event triggered the "tyranny of big data", is the best embodiment. Behind "Prism" hides a huge "surveillance empire", on our military information security to bring more pressure. The field of military information security is becoming a new type of space after the border defense, sea defense, air defense, space and another big country game.

Big data is more important in military construction. Since the founding of New China, China's national defense and military construction has experienced several different development stages, including fragmented data, paper data, small-scale data and then the current big data, in which data plays an increasingly important role. In the coming period, we should pay great attention to the development and change of the technical means and way of thinking of big data, continuously improve the security system of national defense and military construction data, take into account the strategic needs of the military application of big data, and integrate it into the strategic layout and development planning of the national defense and military informatization construction. In particular, it has strengthened the development and utilization of information resources and independent innovation of information technology, and enhanced the support for the research and development of big data on national defense and military construction, war history and war stories, operational styles, enemy conditions, and battlefield environments. Actively guide the direction of big data development, make full use of the research and construction opportunities of big data, and promote China's national defense and military information construction to a higher level.
