Our army aims at the future battlefield needs and creates the ＂information sword＂ behind-the-scenes hero
The military representatives of a military agency of the Communications Department of the General Staff Department aim at the needs of the future information battlefield, actively explore new modes of equipment support, and become the behind-the-scenes heroes of our army’s "information sword".
■ Aiming at the modern battlefield: changing "fighting independently" into "cross-system cooperation"
[Past Playback] Near the Spring Festival, in order to test the tactical performance of a certain type of communication equipment in plateau and cold areas, the comrades in Shenzhen Military Representative Office came to a plateau test base. The motor starts, the power is turned on, the green light flashes frequently, and all indicators are normal, but it is impossible to contact. Test and adjust, record data, find faults … Take turns to go into battle, fighting for 6 days and nights, they can’t find the reason, so they have to ask for help from their superiors.
[Click today] In the initial assembly of a large-scale equipment system, the military representatives in charge, Gu Yuheng and Lv Yan, successively reviewed more than 4,000 documents and 2,000 drawings, found 83 quality problems and put forward 8 quality improvement suggestions.
In recent years, communication equipment has been transformed into a large-scale complex system integrating optics, machinery and electricity, and the requirements for military representatives are getting higher and higher. To this end, they hold training courses to encourage everyone to study professional knowledge and high technology. Tian Jiuchang, political commissar of the bureau, told the reporter that at present, 90% of the military representatives of the bureau have obtained the qualification certificates of internal auditors, 19 comrades have obtained the qualification certificates of external auditors, and nearly half of the military representatives have obtained master’s degrees.
■ Aiming at joint operations: changing "installation management" into "standard specification formulation"
[Past Playback] Late at night, everything was silent. An engineer in a military representative office in Tianjin endured a stomachache to test the technical performance of a certain type of communication equipment. He couldn’t help sighing: "Because there is no uniform quality standard, every one should be inspected with all his heart and effort!"
[Click Today] A certain communication vehicle has passed the indoor acceptance index, but its calling distance is obviously less in the field. After demonstration, the military representative found that the reason was that the indoor inspection standard was low. As a result, Yuan Xin, the general representative, led the military representatives and manufacturers to upgrade and improve the technical standards, effectively expanding the communication distance.
Modern warfare is a confrontation between systems in a complex electromagnetic environment. To this end, all kinds of equipment must be standardized to ensure interconnection, interoperability and interoperability in combat. According to Zhang Jin Shan, director of the Bureau, during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, they organized and formulated more than 50 laws and standards, compiled 41 national military standards, and strictly audited the quality management system of the contracting units, checked for missing parts, and upgraded the version. Established a quality file covering thousands of raw materials, original devices, supporting products and other components.
[Past Playback] In 1996, a large-scale communication network system of the whole army conducted a joint test in Chengdu, and military representatives found that the network was unstable. After half a year, they found that 70% of the problems came from software design defects, because there was no unified standard. With the support of higher authorities, a military representative office in Chengdu started the research on "Quality Supervision Standard of Military Communication Software". Two years later, their achievements filled the gap of the whole army.
[Click Today] In 2003, in the development of a large-scale integrated network system, a military representative office in Chengdu used the advanced software engineering management model to track, monitor and review the quality of dozens of software contractors throughout the whole process, and the initial sample joint test was successful in one fell swoop, marking that the software engineering management of our army has reached the domestic advanced level.
In a sense, software has become the soul of information equipment, but how to check the quality has always been an international problem. At the beginning of 2000, with the support of superiors, the bureau organized more than 10 military representative offices and dozens of technical backbones, including Chengdu, and led by Du Lihua, chief engineer, took the lead in carrying out related research on software engineering management in the whole army. In 2006, their "Research and Construction of Engineering Management of Certain Equipment Software" won the first prize of military scientific and technological progress and became a "green paper" to guide the quality management of equipment software in the whole army.
