Research on the Application of Blockchain Technology in the Weapon and Equipment Testing

Abstract

Blockchain technology has a broad application prospect in the military field due to its advanced technical concept, and as an important link in the development of the weapon and equipment, the testing plays a key role in the process of development, production and combat force formation. As a new application model of computer technology such as distributed data storage, peer-to-peer transmission, consensus mechanism, cryptographic algorithms, blochchain is strongly correlated with the weapon and equipment in command and control, data management, security and confidentiality, and has great potential for application in the weapon and equipment testing. Aiming at the application of blockchain technology in the weapon and equipment testing, this paper introduced the concept and principle of blockchain technology, described the characteristics of blockchain technology, and then analyzed the application scenarios and methods of blockchain technology in the weapon and equipment testing, such as test command and control, data management, security and confidentiality according to the advantages of its technology application. Combining with the limitations of blockchain technology itself, the problems that need to be solved such as the large scale of network nodes, storage space requirements, and bearer network densities being not equal were analyzed, and the challenges that blockchian may face such as the poor compatibility of deployment methods, the low response speed and the conflict with centralized control were studied. In the end, suggestions were made for the application and development of blockchain technology in the weapon and equipment testing in the future.
