全球国防增长机会数字化
Digitalization is defined as the ability to harness collective technological advances in computing power, data collection, processing, storage, and networking between computer devices. The term must be differentiated from digitization, which simply means the conversion of analog to digital, e.g., converting a printed photograph into a JPEG* file.
Defense forces have always pursued digitalization; however, its adoption has lagged behind commercial industries in recent times. Historically, computers have been used to manage logistics, supply inventory, pay wages, and maintain personnel records. There is also a rapid increase in digital adoption on the battlefield with advances in automated processing and sensor technologies.
