预警机装备形态演变的新特征

The New Characteristics of AEW Aircraft Pattern Evolution in Recent Years

自1945年投入使用以来,预警机装备经过近80年的发展,其在作战体系和杀伤链构建中,经历了从低空补忙雷达向空中C2节点的转变。现今,一方面,有人预警机的核心节点作用愈发凸显,主要担负空战场管理任务;另一方面,无人化预警机形态正在加速出现,重点发挥预警探测而不是指挥控制作用,作为有人预警机的重要补充。在产品形态上,未来的预警机将具备敏捷性、协同性以及自主性等重要特征。

The Airborne Early Warning(AEW)Aircraft has been operational since 1945.When it was young,it played as a radar station in charge of detecting the low air target.Now,manned AEW system has become a C2 node in air battlefield and is playing more and more important role in the system of system of battlement and OODA loop.In future,as a new pattern,the unmanned AEW system,compared with manned one,only will play its role as an early warning node instead of C2 platform.As far as the future AEW system,its main characteristics include fragility,collaboration and autonomy.
