八十年代是陆军的电子时代。这里有两个基本理由。第一,陆军已经基本完成了其最主要武器系统的更新换代。八十年代的重点主要是通过增强其电子对抗能力,来改进现有系统。第二,尚未更换的主要系统,是电子系统,诸如指挥和控制系统、通讯系统及情报系统。这类新型系统要求在八十年代提供最先进的电子设备。 Eighties is the army’s electronic age. There are two basic reasons here. First, the Army has basically completed the upgrading of its most important weapon system. The major emphasis of the 1980s was to improve the existing system by enhancing its electronic warfare capabilities. Second, the major systems that have not yet been replaced are electronic systems such as command and control systems, communications systems and intelligence systems. These new systems require state-of-the-art electronics in the ’80s.
