The electronics industry has developed on the basis of the development and application of electronic science and technology. Since the 20th century, the electronics industry has developed rapidly. Due to the improvement of production technology and processing techniques, integrated circuits are updated almost every three years; The large-scale production and use of integrated circuits and computers, as well as the rise of fiber optic communication, digital communication, and satellite communication technologies, have made the electronics industry a rapidly emerging high-tech industry. The development of the electronics industry and the widespread application of its products have had a profound impact on the military field, improving the combat command system. Since World War I, radio communication has become the fundamental means of military communication, known as the "nervous" system of the military. By utilizing electronic technology, a command automation system composed of communication, radar, computers, and other electronic devices has changed traditional communication, reconnaissance, and intelligence processing methods, greatly improving the effectiveness of military command under modern warfare conditions. Improved the weapon and equipment system.

The development of electronic technology and the application of electronic products have greatly improved the power and accuracy of modern weapons; electronic devices have become an important part of modern weaponry; electronic technology is the core of the guidance and control of missiles, military satellites and other high-technology weaponry; whether it is a strategic weapon or a tactical weapon, the performance of its high and low levels of electronic technology have a close relationship. The development of electronic warfare has become an independent means of combat. Electronic reconnaissance, electronic interference, electronic destruction and other forms of electronic countermeasures are becoming increasingly important in modern warfare.
