Abstract

The new round of technological revolution and military revolution are deeply intertwined. Intelligent manufacturing is profoundly reshaping the form of the military industry, serving as a key driving force for enhancing the actual combat capability of weaponry and consolidating comprehensive national defense strength. At present, major military powers around the world have elevated the construction of military‑industrial intelligent manufacturing to a national strategic level. By improving supporting policies, strengthening research on core technologies, coordinating industrial linkage, and perfecting talent support mechanisms, they have established a systematic development framework to accelerate the iterative upgrading of their domestic military manufacturing from digitalization to intelligence. Focusing on the United States, the European Union, Russia, Japan and other entities, this paper sorts out their strategic layout and operation system of military‑industrial intelligent manufacturing, summarizes the development characteristics and future trends, judges the pros and cons of the external development situation on China's national defense science and technology industry, and provides theoretical basis and practical ideas for the intelligent upgrading of China's military industry.
