    With the continuous evolution of war forms and the upgrading of weapons and equipment, the air battlefield situation is becoming more and more complex. Quickly and accurately identifying the combat intention of the target is an important content of battlefield situation assessment, which can provide auxiliary information for commanders to make decisions and help them to seize the initiative in the war. This paper firstly introduces the basic concepts and related models of target intention recognition, defines the concepts of target intention and intention recognition, and determines the status and importance of target intention recognition from two aspects of the operational command decision-making process and information fusion process. Secondly, target features and intention space, as input attributes and recognition framework for intention recognition respectively, are the basis of intention recognition and are reviewed. Then, five common target intention recognition methods such as rule and template matching, evidence theory, Bayesian network, traditional machine learning and neural network are reviewed. The basic mechanism and recognition process of each recognition method are introduced, and its advantages and disadvantages are summarized. Finally, the performance of five kinds of target combat intention recognition methods is compared and analyzed, and the future research direction is prospected.

    Multi-rotor drones are increasingly becoming a threat to critical facilities while bringing convenience. This article focuses on the difficulty of tracking and detecting low slow small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and develops a UAV tracking, detection, recognition, and positioning system based on microphone array sound source localization. The system acquires UAV noise signals in real time, and then uses a wavelet transform-based beamforming time-frequency sound source localization algorithm for UAV noise source localization, and finally integrates the position of the multi-rotor UAV obtained by inversion of the microphone array and the image captured by the video. Tests conducted in a fully anechoic room have shown that the positioning system can accurately track the lateral flight and up-and-down flight of drones, accurately detect the position of drones even in blind spots of cameras, and effectively compensate for video detection. And the positioning accuracy of the system is 92.2%, which is better than that of similar systems.

    In April 2021, the U.S. Air Force Doctrine Development and Education Center officially released “Air Force Doctrine Publication 1: The Air Force” (AFDP-1) (March 10, 2021 Edition), completing a major update to the Air Force Basic Doctrine Volumes 1 and 2, which serve as the most fundamental doctrine of the U.S. Air Force and will guide the combat operation for a long time. In the updated AFDP-1 doctrine, it is clearly stated that the mission-based command should be regarded as the basic concept of the air force command and control, and the traditional principle of "centralized control and decentralized execution" should be replaced by "centralized command, distributed control and decentralized execution", in order to accommodate the continuous evolution of operational concept, system architecture and equipment form, and lay the foundation for gaining advantages in major power competition and strong enemy confrontation. In view of such significant changes in the fundamental doctrine, this paper will conduct an in-depth analysis from the aspects of background and motivations, principles and implementation of mission-based command, and its relationship with traditional command paradigm, and gain the insight into the connotation behind such transformation. This paper summarizes the enlightenment and significance brought by this change, which will provide a reference for the future development planning.

    Space military strategies provide the guidelines and foundations for the development of space forces. By sorting and analyzing the contents of U.S. space military strategy in recent years, the trends of the strategies are summarized. The militarization of space is obviously recognized. The U.S. space military strategies show a trend of developing the theory of space active confrontation, transforming into an independent space combat domain, promoting the application of campaigns and tactics, and strengthening the combination with business alliances. Furthermore, the space strategies show significant influences on the development of the U.S. space force, which manifests in improving the actual combat capabilities and accelerating the systematic transformation of space force.The impacts of the U.S. space strategies on the space posture and space activities are concluded, which probably provides references for China’s space force construction and the struggle for space supremacy.
