From December 2 to 5, the finals of the 9th National Wargame Simulation Competition concluded in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. The team from Beijing University of Chemical Technology (team name: Smart Strategy Vanguard; team leader: Xiao Yulong; team members: Han Binghao, Yang Fan, Fang Bohan), under the guidance of Professor Cao Zhengcai, won the National Championship in the Human-Machine Collaboration Special Competition after fierce competition, thanks to their solid professional skills and excellent teamwork—securing the title of this event for the second time within three years.
This competition was divided into three tracks: the Human-vs-Human Main Competition, the Intelligent Algorithm Special Competition, and the Manual Wargame Simulation Competition. Among them, the Joint Operations Human-Machine Collaborative Game Special Competition falls under the Intelligent Algorithm Special Competition track. It was designed around typical confrontation scenarios of campaign-level joint operations, aiming to explore human-machine hybrid decision-making models and artificial intelligence technologies in large-scale complex confrontation scenarios through wargame simulation practices, and to advance the development of intelligent command and control theories and technologies for complex decision-making tasks.
The "Smart Strategy Vanguard" team leveraged artificial intelligence technologies to achieve battlefield situational awareness and optimize human-machine collaborative game algorithms. It innovatively explored a new path for knowledge-enhanced large models to empower human-machine collaborative wargame simulation, fully demonstrating the innovative thinking and technological breakthroughs of students from Beijing University of Chemical Technology in the interdisciplinary field of artificial intelligence and military game theory.
About the National Wargame Simulation Competition
Guided by the National Defense Education Office and the Department of Science and Technology Popularization of the China Association for Science and Technology, the National Wargame Simulation Competition is hosted by the Chinese Association of Command and Control. It is currently the national public-interest competition themed on national defense education with the highest level and the largest scale. The competition has attracted teams from military and local academies, local universities, as well as enterprises and public institutions across 25 provinces, with approximately 23,000 participants in total.
