军事技术“保守应用现象”产生根源及启示

The Causes and Enlightenment about Conservative Application Phenomenon of Military Technology

军事技术最初应用往往目循已有的作战方式,可以称之为"保守应用现象"。飞机最初应用于空中侦察,坦克配合支援步兵,而核武器刚产生时被看作是超级炸弹,都是因循已有作战方式。之所以如此,是因为技术功能是一个社会形成的过程,军事技术发展应用要受社会经济基础的制约,军事领城的习惯性保守主义也有重要影响。理解保守应用现象能够帮助人们正确认识技术的功能,从而走出技术决定论的误区;它揭示了历史上的军事技术革命是一种传承基础上的创新,而不是颠覆性的革命;人们不应该盲目崇拜先进的军事技术,而应该在实战中创新军事技术应用方式。

The initial application of military technology will always foUow existing modes of fight, which is called the Phenomenon of Conservative Application. The aircraft initial applied in aerial reconnaissance, tanks supporting of infantry, and nuclear weapons just produced regarded as a super bomb, all of them followed existing modes of fight. The reasons are that technology function being shaped by the social factor, the development of military technology application restricted by social economic basis and the habit of conservatism in military field having an important influence. Understanding the phenomenon of conservative application could help people to correctly understand the function of technology, and walk out of the misunderstanding of technological determinism. It reveals that the revolution of military technology is a kind of innovation basing on the transmission, and not the subversive revolution. People should not blindly worship advanced military technology, but should innovate the technology application by way of vractice.
