Judging from the present situation of military construction machinery at home and abroad and the requirements of future military struggle for engineering support, the development trend of military construction machinery in China is that military construction machinery will develop in the direction of serialization, generalization and standardization.
Because the China Army has not formulated a unified development plan for military construction machinery, and all units have been isolated from each other for a long time, the types of construction machinery developed are chaotic, the performance is repetitive and the versatility is poor, and the problems of serialization, generalization and standardization of military construction machinery have become very serious. At present, we should strengthen the management of scientific research and production of military construction machinery, set up a demonstration committee composed of troops and localities, and take the lead of the Equipment Department to study the serialization, generalization and standardization of military construction machinery, and formulate a unified plan for scientific research, testing, production, procurement, management and maintenance, so as to make the development of military construction machinery in China have rules to follow and laws to follow, and form the serialization of field construction machinery, military construction machinery and support machinery and equipment. It can complete the engineering support tasks under various terrain conditions, various climatic conditions and various combat tasks, as well as the generalization of the same functional components of various machinery and the standardization of construction machinery manufacturing.
Production and transformation will further develop in the direction of military voters.
For a long time, foreign troops have always adhered to the development path of construction machinery for military voters and achieved remarkable results. For example, 70% of the general bulldozers of the US military are civilian parts. Compared with the armies of developed countries, the funds of China's army are still very limited. The characteristics of military construction machinery itself are long production cycle and high cost from development and test to finalization. This contradiction has also prompted the development of military construction machinery in China to be used by military voters. In addition, we should also pay attention to using civil technology to transform the existing construction machinery of China Army, focusing on the hydraulic system and control system of construction machinery, so as to improve the reliability, maintainability and automation level of construction machinery. At the same time, the shell of some existing military construction machinery is reformed to improve the armor protection ability of construction machinery, and a certain fire protection system is equipped to improve the fire resistance of construction machinery and improve the overall level of existing military construction machinery.
The research focus will be on multi-purpose armored combat engineering vehicles.
The development of multi-purpose armored combat engineering vehicles in China should be based on the demand of China's current military struggle, and learn from foreign advanced armored combat engineering vehicles. In addition to having a variety of combat capabilities, the following aspects should be strengthened: First, efforts should be made to reduce the weight and make the new armored combat engineering vehicle light and easy to sail; Second, make great efforts in amphibious operations, so that the new armored combat engineering vehicle can directly flood the beach in the transfer area and break through the obstacles on land; Third, efforts should be made to conquer the coastal beach, so that the new armored combat engineering vehicle can break obstacles on the soft beach without other auxiliary equipment or only a small amount of auxiliary equipment, and there will be no sinking, slipping and other phenomena; Fourth, efforts should be made to improve the protection capacity. At present, the main disadvantage of armored combat engineering vehicles is their poor protection ability. However, if they break through obstacles on the beach, they will be severely attacked by fire. Therefore, the new armored combat engineering vehicle must have certain protection ability to ensure the successful completion of the defense breakthrough task. In addition, multi-purpose armored combat engineering vehicles should also strengthen self-rescue and maintainability research.
Will develop in the direction of high technology.
At the end of the 20th century, the rapid development of computer technology triggered a worldwide wave of high-tech revolution, and all walks of life began to widely use high-tech, which also brought new opportunities to the development of military construction machinery. Facing this opportunity, we should keep pace with the times, boldly introduce all kinds of high and new technologies, which are widely used in various fields of military construction machinery manufacturing, such as robotics, microelectronics, computer intelligence, mechatronics, remote control, computer integrated manufacturing, computer aided design, computer simulation, system control and electronic monitoring technology, so as to quickly improve the overall level of military construction machinery in China and enhance the engineering support capability. The general trend of construction machinery development at home and abroad is rapid development, high level and frequent product updates. In order to improve the quality and competitiveness of products, various construction machinery groups began to pay attention to the application of high technology, and various high-tech construction machinery began to emerge, such as intelligent vibratory rollers, loaders with automatic monitoring and control functions, graders with automatic laser leveling control functions, and remote-controlled construction machinery that can work in toxic and dangerous environments. The application of these high and new technologies has greatly improved the service life, reliability, maintainability, accuracy, compatibility, operability and developability of construction machinery, and the development of construction machinery has taken on an unprecedented appearance. The application of high-tech in the field of military construction machinery in China should make full use of local advantages in technology and talents, closely rely on local areas, take the road of combining military and civilian development, and quickly complete the upgrading of military construction machinery in China with the least energy.
