Information warfare will become a major 21st century warfare. Information technology in order to face the war and winning the information war, the active use of information technology-led development of information technology equipment, military electronics industry is the construction of national defense information under the impetus of the demand for restructuring. To do this, pay close attention to the movements of the world's military development, drawing on the latest ideas, equipment and technology development and experience, in particular, to promote the revolution in military affairs as a direct impetus to the field of military electronics of the latest progress of China's national defense information in the process of building in seriously implementing the scientific concept of development of guidelines to accelerate the revolution in military affairs with Chinese characteristics is very necessary. The face of changes in the international situation and China's national defense construction of information needs, leading authorities in order to provide strong scientific information in decision-making support, to enable researchers to keep abreast of the status quo of foreign military electronics and the development trend Research Center of Blanco research organizations , on foreign military electronic equipment, technology and military development of the electronics industry to follow-up study, and annual basis to track the accumulation of the introduction of "foreign military electronic development of the annual report." The present report is the orchid research center launched "the world's electronic information industry development in the annual report," "the world's information technology and product development of the annual report," "the world's annual report the development of e-government" and "foreign military electronic development of the annual report of" four Series one of the annual report o "2008 in World annual report of the development of military electronics," is the second in 2005, 2006 and 2007 after the launch of the fourth annual report. 2008 edition of the annual report of the views of various aspects in an integrated basis, and further enrich the contents of a comprehensive introduction to the foreign military electronic equipment, development of detail in military electronics and information technology abroad, the latest trends closely track foreign military electronics industry the latest developments, easy to readers comprehensive and in-depth understanding of developments in the field of military electronics and future trends, has a certain reference value. In the course of the study report, the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Armament Department, the Ministry of industry and information technology, especially the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Bureau of the importance of the leadership and guidance of industry experts, and taking into account relevant information, in this deep express his appreciation. As a result of our limited capacity and standard of omission or wrong with the inevitable urge criticism.
