The Prospect of Electronic Warfare in the 21st Century: An Analysis of Electronic Warfare Equipment Innovation and Its Strategic Impact Based on the Fusion of Quantum Communication and Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The rapid development of science and technology is driving the shape of electronic warfare to change dramatically, especially under the influence of quantum communication and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This article comprehensively explores innovative approaches to the development of electronic warfare readiness in the 21st century, with a focus on the composite application of quantum communication technology and artificial intelligence technology in modern electronic warfare equipment. The non-reproducibility and anti-interference characteristics of quantum communication, as well as the rapid decision making and learning ability of artificial intelligence, are studied in this paper, and the impact of this technology fusion on the strategy and tactical execution of electronic warfare is further discussed. Using quantum communication, the communication security of electronic warfare system is greatly enhanced. The introduction of artificial intelligence can optimize tactical decisions and improve response speed. In addition, the paper also discusses the far-reaching impact of these technological integration on the global strategic security pattern, pointing out that it will promote the change of electronic tactics and bring new strategic competition focus. Finally, the paper puts forward some suggestions for the future research and development of electronic warfare equipment, emphasizing the need to find a balance between technical advantages and ethical regulations.
