Military Internet of Things: Building a "tight encirclement" for War Support

In what way human society lives, it fights in what way. With the maturity of the military Internet of Things, it is possible for weapons and equipment to "see", "communicate", "think" and listen to "command". Silent objects seem to have wisdom, which will provide important support for the integrated joint operational command and decision-making system and will be the real "tight encirclement" in the future war environment.


Realize seamless battlefield perception and improve battlefield transparency.


As early as 1999, when the Internet of Things was just born, it was called sensor network. The birth of the sensor system of military Internet of Things can be traced back to the Vietnam War in 1960s. In order to monitor the people and vehicles coming and going on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the US military used an unattended "tropical tree" vibration sensor. When there is a target moving, the sensor can detect the vibration and sound source information generated by the target, and then transmit the data to the command center, so as to command the air fighter to bomb the target.


The military Internet of Things focuses on the battlefield situation awareness, intelligent analysis and judgment, action process control and other links, so that the system can operate effectively in all directions, full-time domain and full spectrum, thus breaking the "fog of war" and comprehensively improving system capabilities based on information systems. Using the core technology of military Internet of Things-radio frequency identification technology, ordinary and low-cost equipment can also effectively obtain battlefield information and transmit it in real time through the network. For example, the "smart dust" developed by the US military has all the functions from information collection, processing to sending, although it is only the size of gravel. This will bring a new revolution to information acquisition: on the one hand, it can eliminate the blind spot of reconnaissance, realize the "seamless" perception of the battlefield and improve the transparency of the battlefield; On the other hand, the military Internet of Things can bring all personnel, weapons and support materials on the battlefield into the network. Any sensor on the network node can be connected with various reconnaissance and monitoring systems on satellites and airplanes to obtain the spatial positioning ability of the target that it does not have, so as to realize the perception and be positioned.


The military Internet of Things can also realize the accuracy of battlefield perception, that is, to establish an all-factor, all-process comprehensive information chain from the automatic perception of the battlefield from the sensor to the shooter, data transmission, command and decision, and fire control, so as to realize the reconnaissance of enemy forces’ deployment, weapons and equipment configuration, movement state, reconnaissance of operational terrain, defense facilities and other environments, accurate perception of battlefield information such as their own position protection and force dynamics, and joint cooperation of large-scale weapons platforms and various forces and weapons.


With the development of military internet of things technology, in the future information battlefield, military information network will be integrated with military internet of things, providing a brand-new means for information acquisition and processing. At present, the military of western developed countries attaches great importance to the development of military Internet of Things, and regards it as an important research field of sensor networks, and various innovative military Internet of Things platforms emerge one after another. The U.S. military has successively carried out research and application of a series of military sensor network systems, such as "Rumbas" system for remotely monitoring the battlefield environment, "Sand Line" system for monitoring the movement of weapon platforms, and "Wolf Pack" system for detecting electromagnetic signals. Japan, Britain, Italy, Brazil and other countries and armies have also shown strong interest in the military IOT network, and have launched research work in the military application field of wireless sensor networks.


Implementing transparent command in the whole process to improve the efficiency of operational decision-making


The military Internet of Things connects various military elements in the military field, such as things and things, things and people. Every combat unit, every firepower unit, every soldier and every weapon is tagged with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), and every combat action of the troops can be transmitted to the command center through the wireless data communication network, thus realizing the transparent command and control of the whole combat action and improving the efficiency of operational decision-making.


Shorten the command cycle. The future information-based war will be a high-speed, high-precision and high-intensity war, with the sudden outbreak of the war, the rapid transformation of combat styles, the increased flow of material, energy and information on the battlefield, and the changeable flow direction. The relationship between various operational factors is complex, especially the application of the Internet of Things technology and the large number of information-based weapons and equipment put into the battlefield, which greatly shortens the process of obtaining intelligence information, transmitting information, making up your mind, implementing operational actions and evaluating operational effects. For example, the application of information transmission system based on military Internet of Things technology can greatly shorten the process of battlefield intelligence information transmission and greatly improve the speed of information transmission; Through the real-time monitoring of the battlefield, accurate target positioning information can be provided to the fire control and guidance system, and the command cycle of "observation-positioning-decision-action" can be shortened, thus making the command faster and more flexible.


Improve battlefield awareness. Applying the Internet of Things technology to the military field will make the battlefield intelligence information more accessible, faster in transmission and more scientific in processing and application, thus deepening the understanding of the battlefield. If the Internet of Things technology is applied to reconnaissance and early warning equipment, assisting reconnaissance satellites with real-time reconnaissance and real-time transmission capabilities, battlefield surveillance TV systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, etc., a large number of battlefield information can be collected all-weather, all-time, timely and accurately, so as to correctly recognize the battlefield. At the same time, the application of military internet of things will provide material conditions for commanders to command in real time. Commanders can get a panoramic view of the whole battlefield situation through the information display system of the command center, and countless digital links connected with the large database of the command center will extend to every corner of the battlefield, transmitting the positions, actions and achievements of the enemy and our troops to the command center in real time, forming a constantly updated comprehensive shared battlefield situation map, on which commanders can make decisions, quickly make up their minds, make correct responses to changes in the situation and command troops to fight in real time.


Implement stable command. The application of command information system with military Internet of Things technology as the core can realize the integration of acquisition, transmission, processing and application of battlefield information, and the seamless connection between all links can be realized. In particular, the command information system networked by military Internet of Things technology is network-like. Even if one channel is hard-destroyed and soft-killed by the enemy, other channels can work, so that battlefield information can be continuously obtained, transmitted, processed and used, effectively avoiding the situation that the troops will lose control when the combat command system is destroyed in the past, and enabling commanders to conduct stable command of the military operations. At present, the armed forces of western developed countries are seizing the development opportunity, vigorously developing the military Internet of Things, and building the future battlefield sensing nerve.


Fully control the war supply line and improve the accuracy of support.


Military Internet of Things has unlimited potential, and its popularization and application in the field of logistics support will help to realize "dynamic precision" support. During the Iraq war, Tommy Felix, then commander of the US Central Theater, ordered that any materials entering the theater under his jurisdiction must be tagged with RFID, so that he could get a panoramic view of the battlefield dynamic logistics without any effort.


Improve the ability of dynamic adaptive logistics support. The Internet of Things seems to be a perfect technology tailored for military logistics, which can effectively avoid the blindness of logistics work. With the breakthrough of radio frequency identification technology, two-dimensional bar code technology and intelligent sensing technology, the Internet of Things can provide a convenient and flexible solution for automatically obtaining information such as materials in storage, transportation and use. In the process of various military operations, the military Internet of Things can provide appropriate equipment and supplies to the combat troops at accurate locations and at accurate times, so as to avoid unnecessary confusion, trouble and waste caused by redundant materials rushing to the combat area. At the same time, it can make decisions according to the changes of battlefield environment, coordinate, control, organize and implement logistics support independently, and has adaptive logistics support ability. In addition, the military Internet of Things has realized the intelligence of military equipment. Through a large number of sensors, weapons and equipment can obtain battlefield information such as battlefield situation and enemy threat in real time, so as to respond in time and improve battlefield survivability; Through the embedded diagnostic sensor chip, the operator and maintenance point can know the intact condition of each part of the equipment in time, and realize the accuracy of battlefield maintenance.


Strengthen the precise control of combat materials. The electronic tag technology adopted by the military Internet of Things was first applied to the military. During the first Gulf War, American troops transported about 40,000 containers of weapons and equipment to the war zone. However, due to unclear signs, a lot of equipment lost cannot be found, which consumes huge war resources. Twelve years later, during the Iraq war, the US military installed high-tech RF satellite chips on every container shipped to the Gulf region, and placed readers at important material transportation intersections and storage areas, which realized the whole-course tracking of personnel, equipment and materials, made the material supply and management quite transparent, greatly improved the effectiveness of military logistics support, and finally saved billions of dollars. With the maturity of RFID tag technology and the reduction of cost, the military Internet of Things can be fully applied to single weapons, thus strengthening the management of weapons and equipment, and helping to find weapons and equipment that are extremely threatening and lost on the battlefield.


Improve the safety of supply lines. The logistics system based on the military Internet of Things has the characteristics of networking and nonlinear structure, and has strong anti-interference and anti-attack ability. It can not only accurately grasp the whole process of transporting materials from the factory to the foxhole in front, but also provide danger warning, deploy tasks for transport vehicles on the way and optimize transportation routes. In particular, it can integrate logistics support operations with the whole digital battlefield environment, realize the integration of logistics support and combat operations, enable logistics commanders to make decisions at any time or even in advance, greatly enhance the flexibility and crisis control ability of logistics operations, and fully guarantee the safety of logistics transportation.

The mouth of the woman with many bacteria in the express package is purulent and ulcerated after "tearing the express"

  The most plastic bags for express delivery on the market are made of "recycled materials". The State Post Bureau issued an implementation plan for green packaging.

  Receiving a courier is sticky with dust? You may have received an unhealthy express package! The reporter’s investigation found that all kinds of plastic bags with the most express packaging on the market are "toxic", and because they are made of "recycled materials", a large number of harmful substances may remain. As Wechat business, e-commerce, logistics enterprises and other links reduce costs layer by layer, unhealthy postal parcels become more and more common.

  Text/Guangzhou Daily reporter Liu Ranran

  Correct opening method of express parcel

  1. Put old newspapers or other papers on the table, and put the courier on it.

  2. Cut the tape with scissors or a paper cutter, pick up the package and take out the courier, preferably wearing gloves.

  Wash your hands thoroughly with soap or hand sanitizer immediately, and then enjoy the goods in the courier.

  4. After unpacking the parcel, the express package should be cleaned outdoors or in a ventilated place in time and reasonably, and should not be hoarded around the desk or at home.

  case

  After the "mouth tearing express", the corners of the mouth are festering and festering.

  "Originally ‘ Tear express ’ It is really possible to die. " Netizen Bo reported that after a woman in Xiamen tore the express package with her bare hands and bit it with her teeth, not only red pimples appeared on her mouth, but also pus and fester. After the dermatologist ruled out all possibilities, she judged that she might be allergic to tearing the express package.

  The reporter visited and found that some people had a "red rash" on their hands after unpacking the courier bag, and some people were immediately "smoked" by the irritating smell after opening the courier bag. Most people often found that the courier bag was dirty, with a layer of dust on it, and there was an odor.

  A doctor from the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University told the reporter that almost every day, patients in the Department of Respiratory Medicine are allergic, sneezing, crying and vomiting due to unpacking express delivery, and this past summer, there were so many people who were allergic to their hands and mouth due to direct contact with express delivery bags that some people even needed hospitalization: "Now you have to buy rolls of toilet paper online. With the increasing popularity of express delivery, the resulting garbage and pollution are also in citizens’ homes every day ‘ Enter the room ’ . Many people only care about receiving express delivery happily, but they completely ignore the pollution sources in their hands. "

  interview

  Weighing more than 10 grams, the U disk is 26 times overweight after packaging.

  At a courier outlet in Tianhe District, the reporter saw that even an ordinary small piece of courier similar to a USB flash drive should be tightly packed with "three layers inside and three layers outside", and the packaged express mail is ten times heavier than the real thing.

  After the courier put the U disk into a small paper box, he filled the space with bubble film and soft recycled paper, and then wrapped transparent glue around the paper box. That’s not all. Although it has been packaged with transparent glue, the courier also put a gray plastic express package bag on the outside, put the express bill on the plastic bag and wrapped it with transparent glue several times until it fits perfectly.

  Bubble film, soft recycled paper, paper box, transparent adhesive, plastic bag … … Why does a USB flash drive that doesn’t weigh more than ten grams have to be wrapped so much? The courier told the reporter, "This is not enough. I used to pack sunglasses for Wechat business. A pair of glasses had to be wrapped around for more than a dozen times inside and outside, and a large piece of light bubble pad was needed … …”

  According to reports, the reason why every courier has to be packed almost harshly is to ensure that the goods are intact when they are delivered to the buyer; The excessive use of plastic products is to prevent express delivery from being rained on the road. Moreover, there is no double-sided tape on the back of most express orders. If you want to stick it directly on the express package, you have to stick a layer of transparent adhesive &hellip in all directions without dead ends. … And this dozen grams of U disk, when it was finally sent out, has reached nearly 500 grams with packaging, which is 26 times its weight.

  Secret 1

  Sometimes there are more bacteria on the express package than on the toilet lid.

  The person in charge of the quality control department of an enterprise that OEM produces plastic bags for express delivery told the reporter that at present, the packaging bags used by express delivery companies are usually polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene (PE). The raw materials of such packaging are mostly chemical materials and domestic garbage. The main raw materials are old plastics. Although the cost is very low, a large number of harmful substances such as plasticizers and flame retardants may remain. Moreover, the waste plastics may still remain the pollution when they are used for the first time.

  The reporter learned from the Third Hospital of South Medical University that some harmful chemicals left in express packaging may cause human allergies or decline in skin immune function, and in severe cases, it may affect the liver and kidneys through blood circulation. Although chemicals need to be volatilized at high temperature or for a long time, at present, centralized sorting and long-distance container transportation are generally adopted in the logistics industry, which may not only aggravate the pollution efficiency, but also contaminate the bacteria and pollution carried by the packager and the surrounding environment, further increasing its dirtiness. "The bacteria on a courier package are sometimes much more than those on the toilet lid, and even equal to turning over the trash can."

  Secret 2

  Reduce costs layer by layer to create unhealthy postal parcels.

  "In fact, this is a vicious circle brought about by compression costs." Xiaoyan, a Wechat business who often sends express delivery, told the reporter, "Now the competition between Taobao and Wechat business is too fierce. Most merchants have introduced parcel post to attract customers, and the cost of express delivery is borne by themselves. Therefore, we usually choose our own logistics providers, and the express packaging used is relatively cheap, the quality is poor and not environmentally friendly. In order to ensure that the goods are not damaged by violent sorting, sun and rain on the way, we can only ask the courier to pack several layers … … In this way, there may be one more pollution for every extra layer of packaging. "

  "Especially for some fragile products, if the road is damaged, the courier and the merchant need to pay the bill together." A courier said that their response is simple: wrap several more layers. Why not switch to more environmentally friendly and durable packaging materials? When the courier was asked this question, he looked helpless: "If each courier can earn more than ten yuan or even dozens of yuan, who doesn’t want to use good packaging materials, but now a courier bag only earns one yuan and eighty cents, how can it afford a good packaging bag?" The courier also said that all express delivery companies are now adopting a "simple and extensive" way to seize the market, and no one wants to lose users with high orders such as "Wechat business" and "E-commerce" because of better packaging materials, so they can only bite their teeth and use low-priced packaging materials.

  As a result, the courier violently sorts, the transportation process is exposed to the sun and rain, the express packaging is getting thicker and thicker, and the cost of a single plastic bag is repeatedly compressed … … It has formed a vicious circle, and it has also caused many citizens who love online shopping to encounter "poison parcels" more frequently.

  How to tell:

  Look at the parcel by color

  Not completely reliable

  Is there an industry standard for express delivery in plastic bags? How do express delivery companies in Guangzhou do it? The reporter learned from Guangzhou Post that at present, Guangzhou has compiled the "Specifications for Goods Mail Packaging and Selling Products". The plastic film packaging bags of the postal system are made of resin as the main raw material, and after die-cutting, printing and sealing, they are made into environmentally-friendly bag-type packaging products that can be directly used by users. The courier has the responsibility to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the parcel during the period of receiving the courier until it is delivered to the home. In other words, as long as citizens send things from the post office, they hardly have to worry about receiving "poisonous parcels" and "polluted parcels".

  The relevant person in charge of SF Express also told the reporter that at present, they have carefully classified the seven packaging materials of express delivery, and strictly classified the packaging raw materials that can be recycled, reused and used once, and the required materials have also passed the inspection of relevant departments. If the public finds that the express package is damaged and polluted during transportation, they can refuse it.

  Recently, there is a popular saying on the Internet: "You can tell whether the express package is poisonous or not by looking at the color": paper express package is the most expensive and rarely seen; Followed by white plastic bags, about 0.25 yuan each, which are relatively rare and have the least pollution in plastic packaging; Once again, it is green and yellow, half is made of old materials and half is made of new materials, and aviation parts are occasionally visible; The most common is gray-black, which is almost made of "recycled materials" and may leave a lot of harmful substances. For this statement, people in the industry said: "The statement that gray-black pollution is great is because the recycled old plastics are colorful, and it is easiest to cover the primary colors by adding gray-black, but it is not reliable to judge the pollution degree and the adverse effects on people’s health. The best way is to use high-quality materials of high-end logistics. "

  Relevant policies

  Introduce a plan to promote

  Express green packaging

  According to the website of the central government, China’s express delivery exceeded 20.6 billion pieces in 2015, ranking first in the world. However, the huge amount and variety of packaging in the express delivery industry and the environmental problems it brings have also attracted great attention from the society. The State Post Bureau recently issued the Implementation Plan for Promoting Green Packaging in Express Industry (hereinafter referred to as the Implementation Plan) to improve the utilization efficiency of express packaging, reduce packaging consumption and reduce environmental pollution.

  The "Implementation Plan" requires that during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the use rate of environmentally-friendly boxes, bags and tapes that meet the standard requirements in the express delivery industry will increase substantially, and the use of transfer boxes, cage cars and other equipment will be promoted to further reduce the use of woven bags and tapes. By 2020, packaging materials with excessive toxic and harmful substances will be basically eliminated, and a socialized recycling system for express packaging will be basically established.

  In view of the problem of "over-packaging" that express users reflect more, the plan proposes to encourage enterprises to explore simple packaging and reduce secondary packaging.

Heavy rain in Kumamoto caused floods and mudslides, and some people painted SOS for help in the open space.

  [Global Network Reporter Cui Tianye] The floods caused by heavy rains in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan are still going on. On the 5 th local time, floods and mudslides caused by heavy rains in Kumamoto Prefecture still occurred one after another. Japanese media reported that the rainstorm has caused 7 confirmed deaths, 14 stopped cardiopulmonary function, 1 was seriously injured and 4 were missing.
