In recent years, unmanned combat systems have been rapidly developing towards intelligence and are playing an increasingly important role in coastal defense and maritime warfare. Unmanned combat systems,including low Earth orbit(LEO)satellite internet, suicide unmanned vessels,armed unmanned vessels, large unmanned vessels,and unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs), are becoming key factors in coastal defense construction and maritime battlefields. These systems, through cross-domain integration, have formed a complex system of offense and defense.

• LEO Satellite Internet:

Represented by"Starlink,"LEO satellite internet provides a supplement to military communication systems through a large number of low Earth orbit communication satellites,enhancing communication capacity and range,and supporting combat units and command systems.It played a significant role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict,offering emergency communication,data relay,and fire support assistance,creating an asymmetry in battlefield information acquisition.

• LEO Satellite Constellations:

These constellations offer the advantages of wide area coverage,seamless interconnection,low latency,and high bandwidth,becoming key to communication links,intelligence links,and command links.They also feature strong anti-jamming capabilities,on-demand access,and resilient services.

• Constellation Cloud Computing:

The combination of LEO satellite constellations with cloud computing provides ultra-long-range,ultra-broadband communication services for globally deployed unmanned combat platforms,enhancing the wide area,suddenness,and security of unmanned operations.

• Development of Unmanned Vessels:

Unmanned vessels,as a focus of coastal defense forces,are becoming crucial in high-end warfare.They can be equipped with air defense systems and missiles to engage aerial targets,such as the unmanned vessel equipped with R-73 air-to-air missiles discovered by Russia in the Black Sea.

• Maritime Characteristics of High-End Warfare:

High-end warfare is likely to emerge first at sea because the ocean is a natural barrier and a key area of competition for maritime nations.Intelligence has greatly improved the efficiency of military command,promoting the efficient complementarity and integrated linkage between manned and unmanned combat forces.

• Maritime Strategic Security:

Strategic security in the maritime direction is a key focus for safeguarding national sovereignty,security,and development interests,and the role of intelligent unmanned combat systems in this area is becoming increasingly prominent.

Conclusion:

the development and application of unmanned combat systems are changing the landscape of coastal defense and maritime battlefields.The trend towards intelligence and autonomy brings new challenges and opportunities for future warfare.
