Analysis of maritime unmanned combat cluster employment in the context of anti-intervention/area denial

Abstract

With the new operational styles such as mosaic warfare and multi-domain warfare of the US military moving from concept to application, the winning elements and operational modes of future maritime operations have been profoundly changed. Firstly, the military capabilities of the US military to break through anti-access/area denial are analyzed, and then the characteristics and effects of the implementation of multi-domain warfare under the mosaic warfare concept in breaking through anti-access/area denial are extracted from the military capabilities, operational styles, and practical applications. On this basis, countermeasure suggestions are proposed to deal with the implementation of multi-domain warfare under the mosaic warfare concept. The practical significance of building unmanned maritime combat clusters is explained from the perspective of military needs, and the force design, equipment development, and combat style of unmanned maritime combat clusters are described in detail. A typical combat scenario is used to show the combat process of unmanned maritime combat clusters. Finally, the key problem model of intelligent command and control decision of maritime unmanned cluster is established for this typical combat scenario, and the corresponding algorithmic framework is constructed for the input and output of the typical combat scenario, which provides research ideas for further empirical research.
