This year\u2019s report noted the shift to intelligentized warfare is being led through China\u2019s Military-Civil Fusion development strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoD\u2019s report said there is a shift away from \u201cinformationized\u201d war, which was described in a 2016 department report \u2014 citing Chinese military writings \u2014 as \u201can asymmetric way to weaken an adversary\u2019s ability to acquire, transmit, process, and use information during war and to force an adversary to capitulate before the onset of conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Much of this is conducted via China\u2019s Strategic Support Force. Created in 2016, the theater-level command houses much of the country\u2019s information-related capabilities related to strategic space assets, cyberspace, electronic warfare, information operations and psychological warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China views information superiority, which includes denying information to its enemies, as critical to success on the battlefield. As such, an intelligentized warfare campaign that goes beyond informationized to target and degrade systems with emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, is paramount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoD asserts that the People\u2019s Liberation Army plans to employ technologies as part of this new warfare strategy to support unmanned systems on the ground, in the air and at sea; to support information operations; to enable new command-and-control models; and to improve cyber and electronic warfare through AI-assisted network analysis and spectrum management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe PLA\u2019s ability to leverage big data will depend upon its ability to obtain large quantities of high-quality data on foreign militaries. Additionally, the complexity of future conflict probably will challenge the PLA to recruit, train, and retain the highly competent and technically proficient personnel necessary to understand and operate future \u2018intelligentized\u2019 systems,\u201d the report stated, noting that delegating command and control to lower echelons may run counter to the PLA\u2019s centralized command-and-control structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A newly released report from the DoD articulates how China is adopting new technologies as part of a shift in its
