美国国防部长切尼不久前向美国总统和国会提交了1992年度报告。该报告第3部分在谈到美国空间力量时说,对配备先进武器装备的敌人挑起的地区性重大突发事件迅速而有效地作出响应的能力,对于取得未来军事上和政治上的成就将具有重大意义。美国国防部的空间系统已满足了对美国的国家指挥当局及其在世界各地部署的军事力量具有重要意义的战略和战术方面的广泛要求。今后在遥远地区对突发事件采取的措施将越来越依赖于卫星提供的支持。鉴于美国今后的空间力量与现在相比,现代化水平进一步提高,但规模大幅度减小,因此上述态势尤其具有现实意义。美国防部长切尼认为,一体化的空间系统和活动可以进一步提高美国在世界各地部署的军事力量的全球覆盖能力、战备水平和快速反应能力。空间力量可以给美国已部署和正在部署的海陆空作战人员提供实时支援和接近实时的支援。实际上,在未来地区性冲突的早期阶段,空间力量也许是唯一的“登场”能力。在海湾战争中证明,空间系统是一种兵力倍增器,它可以减少地面部队的伤亡,还可大大地提高其效能。这对任何国家都是值得借鉴的经验。
U.S. Secretary of Defense Cheney recently submitted the 1992 annual report to the U.S. president and the National Assembly. Part III of the report, referring to the space force in the United States, said that its ability to respond promptly and effectively to major and unexpected regional incidents evoked by enemy equipped advanced weapons and equipment would not be conducive to achieving future military and political achievements. has great significance. The Department of Defense’s space system has met the broad strategic and tactical demands that are significant for the U.S. national command authority and its military forces deployed throughout the world. Future measures taken in emergencies in remote areas will increasingly rely on the support provided by satellites. In view of the fact that the space force in the United States will have more room for modernization than in the present, its scale has been greatly reduced. Therefore, the above-mentioned situation is of particular significance. US Defense Secretary Cheney believes that integrated space systems and activities can further enhance the global coverage, readiness and rapid reaction capability of the U.S. military deployed throughout the world. Space forces can provide real-time support and near-real-time support to the United States deployed naval, air and land operations personnel being deployed. In fact, space forces may be the only “debut” capability in the early stages of future regional conflicts. In the Gulf War, the space system proved to be a force multiplier, which can reduce the casualties of the ground forces and greatly enhance its effectiveness. This is a lesson worth learning from any country.
