（國語）衛星追蹤空中、地面移動目標能力，意味著太空軍將直接參與地面戰鬥｜【 #時事軍事】

Hello friends, I am Xia Leshan The first official announcement of the United States will deploy space assets in the early 2030s to track the ability to move in space and on the ground and provide target data that can be used directly for weapon equipment, aiming and attacking On September 4th, at the annual defense news conference held in Virginia, Arlington Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Space Force, Gatlin, said The first stage part of the satellite's ground-based and air-based target indicator plan may be put into use in the early 2030s Gatlin said The future surveillance network of the U.S. military will involve a variety of assets in the atmosphere and space What's important is that it's a layer-by-layer ability Improved system survival Layer-by-layer surveillance network, including space assets, manned aircraft, drones and other possible platforms The initial development stage of this plan has been going on for some time But since last month, the design limits of the Space Force's new satellite system have been certified This means that this plan has entered the formal development stage Before that, people are more and more logically deducing that the U.S. space surveillance assets will increasingly replace the traditional surveillance aircraft on the ground, on the sea and in the air In particular, the surveillance assets based on satellites have a stronger durability and survivability It is worth noting that the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office is buying constellations made up of hundreds of intelligence satellites from SpaceX It is specifically used to track the lower air and ground targets in order to support ground operations It is not clear about its relationship with the U.S. Space Force plan, but there should be some crossings in terms of ability Gatlin believes that even with the launch of the satellite network surveillance plan, the ground and air surveillance platform Surveillance tasks for ground and air mobile targets are still necessary for a considerable period of time in the future After adding satellite surveillance assets, it can only make layer-by-layer surveillance networks more perfect and efficient He said, the closer we are to the goal, the greater the determination to achieve the goal This means a greater challenge, and it is more difficult to obtain the same level of intelligibility of target information in space Gatlin also emphasized that the growing threat posed by the satellite network has strengthened the importance of intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, especially surveillance and reconnaissance based on space He explained that today the opponent has turned to the killer network These networks integrate multiple sensors, weapons and ammunition, and target multiple targets at the same time All these capabilities are connected to the network and exchange information through multiple communication channels It is extremely difficult to defeat the cyber network composed of shooters, weapons, ammunition, sensors and communication facilities Unfortunately, the opponent can use these killer networks to keep our joint forces in a long-distance cross-domain environment in danger This is a very complex and challenging threat The threat posed by the U.S. Navy to overcome such complex killer networks also involved investment in three areas Specifically, it is to enhance awareness and eliminate action accidents Ensure the safety of space capability and defeat the enemy's killer network when necessary The satellite surveillance system's surveillance of aerial mobile targets is a relatively new task compared to the surveillance of ground mobile targets Therefore, it will bring some new challenges, including integrating various sensors with existing command and control networks This requires considering the application of artificial intelligence, including machine learning and new communication paths And implement data processing on track sensors, instead of sending the data to the ground comprehensive processor and then distributing it to the combat terminal This is a set of new technologies full of challenges In the past, the surveillance task of aerial mobile targets was mainly completed by the E-3 Reconnaissance and Control System This is an early aerial surveillance aircraft of the U.S. Air Force Now it will replace some of the new E-7 surveillance aircraft However, the military usually calls the E-7 a kind of temporary platform In order to make up for the vacancies after the E-3 retired or the inability of the future sky radar Of course, to achieve these goals, we still have to face financial challenges The annual budget shared by the Air Force and the Air Force is becoming increasingly tight Although the budget of the U.S. Air Force has been steadily increasing But the Pentagon warns that the funds are not enough to meet huge goals, especially in the field of sky radar surveillance This requires the Pentagon to start from the overall demand to balance the budget of the Air Force and optimize all development plans To ensure that the crisis period plan is the most cost-effective As early as 2021, the current head of the U.S. Air Force, retired General Raymond, revealed The Air Force is building ground-based mobile target monitoring capabilities in space And as part of the classified plan, we are working hard to provide this capability In fact, the history of sky-based ground-based mobile target monitoring capabilities can be traced back to earlier In 2018, the Air Force Rapid Ability Office began to run such projects Basically, ground-based mobile target monitoring is a kind of radar model It can distinguish the ground-based mobile target from the restricted target In order to track the activities of the ground-based mobile target Ground-based mobile target monitoring radar is usually a synthetic optical radar It can collect target images Whether during the day or night or under any complex weather conditions Like clouds, fog and dust Can generate high-precision ground images People generally believe that after deploying the sky-based ground-based mobile target monitoring system The traditional monitoring system can be retired For example, the U.S. Air Force's E-8C Joint Surveillance Attack Radar System The existing E-3 air warning aircraft, URS high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft And other manned aircraft with synthetic optical radar ground-based mobile target reconnaissance capabilities In addition to being replaced by satellites They may also be replaced by high-altitude long-range drones with stealth capabilities Such as the RQ-180 drone It also has a synthetic optical radar ground-based mobile target monitoring capability And can carry out reconnaissance missions in more intense airspace These traditional air surveillance systems are usually flying at a slower speed And there is no large or medium-sized transport aircraft with stealth capabilities Their survival ability in airspace activities near the battlefield is worrisome And in low-Earth orbit reconnaissance satellites Compared to aircraft, they can stay in space for a long time And have a stronger survival ability It almost avoids all the weaknesses of the existing air platform If the U.S. Air Force's traditional manned aircraft with key intelligence missions Can be replaced by satellites It will have a major impact on the future battlefield The ground-based and air-based mobile target monitoring capabilities provided by satellites Do not reject the same mission capabilities provided by the non-sky platform This is a perfect process of layer-by-layer monitoring network Only improving survival ability This is likely to mean a high-altitude stealth reconnaissance drone like the RQ-180 And some other potential confidential projects related to intelligence monitoring and reconnaissance Gates said Future intelligence monitoring and reconnaissance missions will be layered Including sensors from satellites and aircraft However, the mission capability and survival ability of the entire mission system Will become stronger due to the addition of the space platform Especially in the case of the CCP's so-called anti-interference area control strategy The front line may expand to a wider space This requires the U.S. military to be at a greater distance or larger range To understand what is happening on the battlefield from a close-up perspective The specific type of ground-based and air-based mobile target monitoring capabilities deployed by the U.S. Air Force And whether it can be put into use in the early 2023s It is not yet clear However, the importance of this ability and the official announcement show The U.S. Air Force may already have a certain level of mission ability In short, this will be an important ability that may change the rules of the game More flexible than past satellite constellations It is expected to be in high-end conflict For example, the conflict with the CCP in the Pacific region Becoming a key ability to fight the enemy's advanced killing network That's all for today Thank you for your attention See you next time
