Focus on the concept of integrated sea and air war in China

U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said this will be the deterrent force U.S. military. U.S. Navy CNO Admiral Gary Roughead will change in a month, said it will change the operational mode, "very innovative."

What makes these two look so excited? The answer is: Air Force, Navy, other defense officials are developing a new integrated sea and air warfare concepts. Although this high-profile joint operational plans may be the U.S. military-led military operations in this century, but the question is whether this is able to respond to known and unknown threats.

The "sea and air war one" should "refuse to stop"

No indication that the U.S. Air Force and the Navy's long-term plan is for China. However, despite the U.S. military operations there have been innovative, such as the Unmanned Combat Air System (UCAS), but the threat of U.S. options to deal with China does not include most of the important and rapid development and deployment of new weapons. Therefore, the upcoming integrated sea and air warfare depends on the concept of innovation existing programs, by way of joint operations, refused to stop or regional block in the context of military operations to ensure freedom.

Strategy and budget in Washington, released a number of assessment centers on the concept of air and sea battle one more detailed document. The center is a most comprehensive report emphasized that "sea and air war as a war action one criterion can not and should not be seen as 'winning war' concept. It should not be regarded as a special case for such as defending Taiwan. Instead, it should be seen as the level of military operations in order to create the conditions to maintain stability in the Western Pacific region and good conventional military balance. "

So it is not about dealing with China, but by keeping the military balance to maintain regional stability. But it is also drawn to the military concept of operations, in response to the remarkable development of China's strategic intentions and its lack of transparency in its attitude. Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, and other institutions mentioned in the "sea and air one of the war" concept includes:

Air Force counter-space operations can be blocked by the PLA of satellite-based ocean surveillance system to prevent anti-ship ballistic missiles it targeted. Is this what the U.S. Air Force track the development of X-37B test vehicle is still unknown reasons, but according to the Heritage Foundation, said Dean Cheng, China's netizens are worried.

Another "one of the sea and air war" example is the development of unmanned aerial vehicles, airborne-based infrared sensors to guard against ballistic missiles, 20 years of this century, the system will be based on spacecraft. Both systems allow the next generation of Aegis missile equipped with a new "Burke" class destroyers out of the CGX than it is now more effective missile cruiser.

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's long-range anti-ship missile program is also intended to improve the "one air and sea war" capability. The plan includes the design of two long-range anti-ship missile (LRASM), by Lockheed - Martin Missiles and Fire Control Arms R & D departments to complete, also includes BAE Systems, General sensor system design.

LRASM-A Orlando, Florida by the Lockheed - Martin weapon research and development departments to combat the production, which uses the open space outside of the Joint Theater Missile (JASSM-ER) missile body structure. LRASM-B is a Grand Prairie, Texas, Lockheed - Martin tactical missile R & D production, it equipped with a supercharged engine, is a supersonic stealth cruise missile and has a certain capacity.

The long-range anti-ship missile will use multiple sensors, the sea battle in the complex automatically selected under the conditions of the target.

These new weapons development program is not fully reflected in the United States government documents, like the annual China military power report also does not mention the real stealth fighter F -20 10 years in this development.

China's military development have surprised U.S.

During the Soviet period, U.S. intelligence agencies often exaggerate the ability of the Soviet Union, is expected to prompt large numbers of new weapons will be put into use, and forecast on China's development has always been just the opposite. So DF-21D anti-ship ballistic missile programs to the U.S. Navy surprise.

U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Admiral Robert Willard, unexpectedly announced late last year, Dongfeng 21D missile with an initial operational capability has been basically, this means that the missile has been tested and can make use of ocean-horizon radar and satellites to detect system targets.

People's Liberation Army prepared to implement a new "historical mission", it refused to stop growing in Asia and the regional block to show the ability to meet the challenge. We begin to see the PLA out of the country, and Russia (2008) and Kazakhstan (2010) held a joint exercise since 2009, since it is also added to the ranks against Somali pirates.

In some cases, Washington to China, "refused to stop and the regional block," the response is against it. For example, to combat a range of 2000-3000 km in the east 21D missile is the Navy's Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstrator (UCAS-D) projects, including Northrop - Grumman X-47B unmanned aircraft production In the first flight on February 2, but it will be around in 2020, joined the Navy. February, China said the newspaper published a rare, 2015, the PLA will deploy a new generation of medium-range ballistic missile range of 4,000 kilometers. Reported that the missile will perform offensive missions, including nuclear attack and conventional attack and defense missions.

The source said China's Dongfeng -25/26/27 future missile model may be one of the new 4,000 km-range missiles. China's future medium-range and short-range military ballistic missiles and cruise missiles will become faster and more flexible to penetrate enemy lines.

20 years of this century, the United States wishes to obtain a breakthrough technology for the deployment of directed energy weapons. But many data show that the PLA in this area may not be far behind, it has developed tactical laser weapons, high-energy microwave weapons and magnetic rail gun. Laser Research in China 60 years since the last century began, the unofficial news that the laser weapons will be deployed in the next generation of the Chinese Navy destroyer. China has also invested heavily of electromagnetic launch technology, which is manufacturing the magnetic rail gun, and spacecraft electromagnetic catapult launch pad foundation.

China also committed to the development of anti-stealth and anti-network technology. In February at an international defense exhibition, China announced the details of the new radar, reconnaissance range up to 500 km. The radar can achieve more accurate tracking system.

China has always limited its military development of the dialogue and the agreement is not interested. China has refused its nuclear weapons and space weapons in a dialogue intended to show that the country will not in any diplomatic or other external constraints growing military strength.
