坦克信息化轻型化与反坦克武器的发展

装甲战斗车辆的发展正处于关键的转折阶段,以新一代主战坦克和轮式装甲战车为代表的战斗车辆之主要特征是信息化和轻型化.它们将显著提高信息获取、处理和使用能力;对间瞄和空中目标的精确打击能力;战略、战役、战术和火力机动及综合防护能力.为应对作战目标对反坦克武器的严峻挑战,必须尽快建立适合诸军、兵种协同作战使用的多种制导、攻击、毁伤方式并存的更完善的反坦克火力配系;加强夜间目标识别和非通视条件下地面活动目标侦察、作战指挥和打击能力;重视发展远程反装甲武器中的末制导弹药、中程反坦克武器中的轻弹和近程武器中的简易制导火箭弹;提升反坦克武器的精确打击、目标毁伤、信息实时获取、处理能力及快速机动能力.

TRENDS OF DEVELOPMENT IN THE APPLICATION OF INFORMATION SCIENCE/TECHNOLOGY AND REDUCTION OF WEIGHT IN ARMOURED VEHICLES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF ANTI-TANK WEAPONS

The development of armored combat vehicles is currently facing its key transitional phases. These vehicles are represented by new generation main battle tanks and wheeled armored vehicles. Outsanding features in the development of fighting vehicles are the reduction in weight and application of information science/technology. The article tries to discuss these trends in their present day development and analyses their future characteristics regarding communication,defence, firepower and mobility. It givens an analysis on the demands of antitank weapon's firepower assignment, the ability of precision bombing, target damage, communication, mobility, as adapted to the armored combat vehicles. These features will obviously promote the operational capability of information assessment and processing, information application and precise attack on air targets. At the same time, it also increases the firepower mobility and integrated defense ability . In order to meet the challenge of antitank weaponry, new tank firepower systems of multi-guidence, multi attack, and multi damage modes are developed. It is also vital that capabilities of night target identification, mobile land target survilliance, combat command and control and precision of attack should be strengthened. Along with these, terminal guidance ammunition of long range antitank weapon, light ammunition of middle range antitank weaponportable guidance rocket as short range antitank weapon should also be paid due attention.
