Types of unmanned combat platforms

Types of unmanned combat platforms: space unmanned combat platforms, air unmanned combat platforms, underwater unmanned combat platforms and ground unmanned combat platforms.

Unmanned combat platform refers to a weapon platform that is unmanned, operates independently by remote control or according to pre-programmed procedures, and carries offensive or defensive weapons to perform combat tasks. Types of unmanned combat platforms: space unmanned combat platforms, air unmanned combat platforms, underwater unmanned combat platforms and ground unmanned combat platforms.

Compared with manned combat system, unmanned combat platform has the characteristics of strong continuous action ability, low cost, and being difficult to be captured by radar and other detection means, especially it does not need manned driving and does not sacrifice soldiers' lives. In the future war, it will be an indispensable new combat force with unlimited development and application space.

Four basic principles of unmanned combat platform

First, the functions of unmanned systems and manned systems converge. That is, the functions of traditional combat platforms will be mostly or even completely replaced by unmanned combat platforms to meet the basic military needs of mankind.

The second is to let unmanned systems take on high-risk tasks instead of manned systems. It is mainly to make the unmanned combat platform close to high-value targets and perform high-risk tasks such as reconnaissance, surveillance and infiltration attacks, so as to reduce casualties and reduce the loss of the combat platform.

The third is to make up for people's shortcomings and expand people's abilities. Let the unmanned system expand people's hearing, vision and information processing capabilities while avoiding people's physiological and psychological limitations, and form complementary structures and mechanisms.

The fourth is the possibility of providing new technologies, new materials and new energy. The scientific and technological circles generally believe that there will be a new wave of global scientific and technological revolution before 2050, focusing on intelligent technology, nanotechnology, biotechnology and information technology.
