Abstract

With the development of artificial intelligence and unmanned equipment, human-machine hybrid formations will be the main focus in future combat formations. With the development of big data and various situational awareness technologies, while enhancing the breadth and depth of information, decision-making has also become more complex. The operation mode of existing unmanned equipment often requires complex manual input, which is not conducive to the battlefield environment. How to reduce the cognitive load of information exchange between soldiers and various unmanned equipment is an important issue in future intelligent warfare. This paper proposes a brain computer interface communication system for soldier combat, which takes into account the characteristics of soldier combat scenarios in design. The stimulation paradigm is combined with helmets, portable computers, and firearms, and brain computer interface technology is used to achieve fast, barrier free, and hands-free communication between humans and machines. Intelligent algorithms are combined to assist decision-making in fully perceiving and fusing situational information on the battlefield, and a large amount of data is processed quickly, understanding and integrating a large amount of data from human and machine networks, achieving real-time perception of battlefield information, making intelligent decisions, and achieving the effect of direct control of drone swarms and other equipment by the human brain to assist in soldier scenarios.
