Accelerate the transformation of science and technology to what?

Accelerate the transformation of science and technology into combat effectiveness.

Science and technology is the core combat power and the most active and revolutionary factor in military development. Report to the 20th CPC National Congress, the Party, called for speeding up the transformation of science and technology into combat effectiveness. This tells us that whether it is to seize the commanding heights of military competition strategy or forge the ability to win modern wars, we must persist in demanding combat effectiveness from scientific and technological innovation and constantly improve the contribution rate of scientific and technological innovation to combat effectiveness growth.

Science and technology is an important foundation for the generation and improvement of combat effectiveness. The basic elements of combat effectiveness are people, weapons and equipment and the combination of people and weapons and equipment. Science and technology are not independent elements of combat effectiveness, but they are always integrated and condensed in various elements of combat effectiveness in various ways and forms, which greatly promotes the generation and improvement of combat effectiveness. As Engels said: "Once technological progress can be used for military purposes, and it has been used for military purposes, they will immediately change or even almost forcibly change the way of fighting, and often against the will of commanders."

At present, with the rapid development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution, industrial revolution and military revolution, the informationization level of modern warfare is constantly improving, and the intelligent characteristics are increasingly apparent, and the role of science and technology in the construction of combat effectiveness is increasingly prominent. For any army, with scientific and technological advantages, it can grasp the military initiative and win the winning opportunity; If we ignore the progress of science and technology, we will fall into a passive situation of being beaten behind. To win the information-based local war characterized by intelligence in the future, it is imperative to implement the strategy of strengthening the army through science and technology and accelerate the transformation of advanced science and technology into combat effectiveness.
