The evolution and development of military surveying and mapping
and military geography have a history of nearly two thousand years. Now, they
have entered the information age and become two independent disciplines
belonging to engineering and science. This paper discusses the research object,
content, scope and method of military surveying and mapping and military
geography. This paper analyzes the development process of military geomatics
and military geography, describes their evolution track, especially analyzes
the development trend and characteristics of military geomatics and military
geography in the information age. Based on the function of military geomatics
and military geography in information guarantee of battlefield geographic
environment, the “differentiation” and “focus” of military geomatics and military geography are analyzed from two kinds of thinking, development
process, development characteristics and development trend of information
guarantee of battlefield geographic environment. Finally, discussed from the
height of the philosophy of “space and time together form the two basic forms of
movement of the material,” and “spatial reference and time reference is natural
and social phenomena of two basic reference system” point of view, and think
the military surveying and mapping science and military geography is the study
of movement and exists in space and time to material, However, the specific
object, content, scope and method of the research are very different, so they
will deepen their research contents, expand their research scope and innovate
their research methods in the infinite and limited unified space and time, and
at the same time focus more closely on battlefield geographic environment
information guarantee.
