国防科技在我国一直有着特殊地位,受到党和国家的高度重视。然而,十一届三中全会以前,对国防科技的重视,只是出于国防建设的需要;国防科技也主要是发挥了国防功能,而科技功能和经济功能则没有很好地发挥。三中全会以后,随着党和国家工作着重点的转移,国防建设指导思想的根本转变,国防科技在改革开放中贯彻“军民结合、平战结合”的方针,不仅推进了国防现代化建设,而且在国家的经济建设中起到了重要作用。为了更好地发挥国防科技的科技功能和经济功能,重新认识国防科技在现代社会生产力发展中的地位和作用是很有必要的。 National defense science and technology have always enjoyed a special status in our country and are highly valued by the party and the country. However, prior to the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, emphasis on national defense science and technology was only due to the need of national defense construction. National defense science and technology also played a major role in national defense while scientific and technological functions and economic functions did not perform well. After the Third Plenary Session of the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee and the CPC Central Committee and the CPC Central Committee and the CPC Central Committee and the CPC Central Committee, as the party and the state shift their emphasis on work and the fundamental transformation of the guiding ideology of national defense, the national defense science and technology carried out the principle of “combining military and civilian work and combining peace and war” in the course of reform and opening up. In the country's economic construction has played an important role. In order to give full play to the scientific and technological functions and economic functions of national defense science and technology, it is necessary to re-understand the status and role of national defense science and technology in the development of modern social productive forces.
