Recently, a German group biological tactical company announced the successful development of a semi mechanical cockroach swarm equipped with a miniature "smart backpack". The semi mechanical cockroach colony is modified from live cockroaches, carrying neural stimulation controllers, environmental sensors, and encrypted communication modules. Through artificial intelligence, the colony collaborates and autonomously constructs a dynamic intelligence network, which can perform reconnaissance tasks in environments without GPS signals. In fact, the development of semi mechanical cockroach swarms is just a microcosm of the current development of military biomimetic technology. As a cutting-edge interdisciplinary field that integrates biology, engineering, and military science, the core of military bionics lies in systematically deconstructing the structural characteristics, functional principles, and behavioral patterns of living organisms (mainly animals and plants), transforming their high-efficiency mechanisms into replicable technological models, and driving military equipment innovation and tactical strategy upgrades. In today's rapidly transitioning towards intelligent warfare, military biomimetic technology has demonstrated unique value - when traditional equipment faces technological bottlenecks, the survival wisdom of natural organisms can provide important references for the development of military technology. Learning the survival wisdom of organisms is necessary to adapt to the environment. Throughout the long process of evolution, most organisms have followed the survival principles of "efficiency first" and "resilience first". For example, the compound eyes of insects can not only achieve 360 degree observation without blind spots, but also accurately capture information in strong light, weak light, and rapid target movement, with efficiency far exceeding traditional optical devices; Ant colonies can achieve division of labor and cooperation through simple chemical signals, and tens of thousands of individuals can complete complex tasks such as foraging and building nests without unified command. The self-organizing collaborative mechanism of organisms provides important insights for solving technical problems such as communication delays and node failures in modern unmanned combat systems. More importantly, the survival instinct of organisms enables them to naturally adapt to various extreme environments. When human engineers rack their brains to add features such as drop resistance, waterproofing, and high temperature resistance to weapons and equipment, they often need to increase the weight of the equipment and compromise on flexibility and portability. And through long-term evolution, organisms can continuously adapt to environmental changes while maintaining lightness. The cockroach shell combines high strength and lightweight, while the desert beetle can condense air and collect moisture through a special raised structure on its back. These low-cost and highly adaptable biological intelligences provide new ideas for achieving lightweight, long-term stealth, and ultra-low power consumption in military equipment. Technological iteration drives biomimetic innovation. With the deepening of human understanding of biological habits and the improvement of technological level, military biomimetic technology has gone through three stages: imitation of biological forms, imitation of biological motion mechanisms, and imitation of deep intelligent behaviors of organisms. From ancient people imitating animals' mouths, horns, claws, teeth, etc. to creating eighteen types of weapons, to modern times imitating fish swim bladder to solve submarine floating and sinking problems, all are imitations of biological appearance or intuitive structures. With the advancement of biology and anatomical technology, people's understanding of the internal functional structure principles of organisms has gradually deepened. Military biomimetic technology has also evolved from imitating the shape of organisms to mimicking their movement mechanisms and functional structures. The M-81 bionic robotic dog developed by the Russian Kalashnikov Group imitates the distribution of canine bones and muscle force patterns, and uses a bionic hydraulic drive device to provide power for the mechanical foot, allowing it to crawl forward and cross obstacles, with a maximum weight of 150 kilograms. Inspired by the swarm collaboration mechanism, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has developed the "Pokemon" drone swarm system, which utilizes distributed algorithms to achieve autonomous collaborative operations among hundreds of drones. Each drone is equipped with electro-optical reconnaissance equipment and communication relay modules. The system imitates the "swing dance" information transmission mode of bees, enabling drone swarms to efficiently complete tasks such as target tracking under unmanned central command. The biomimetic "dragonfly" drone developed by German pneumatic component and automation technology manufacturer Festo highly simulates the physiological functions of dragonflies in terms of wing vibration frequency and compound eye vision system. At the same time, the drone has gained a certain degree of autonomous decision-making ability through deep learning algorithms. Its "Dragonfly Brain" processor can not only accurately identify disguised targets in environments such as smoke interference, but also autonomously plan routes, with a breakthrough success rate more than three times that of traditional drones. This closed-loop intelligent path from perception to decision-making and then to execution marks a key leap in biomimetic technology from functional imitation to cognitive simulation. Breaking down the barriers between biology and engineering, the development of military biomimetic technology is currently in the "intelligent system integration period" of the imitation intelligence stage. The core goal of this stage is to help military equipment have biological autonomous decision-making and environmental adaptation capabilities as much as possible through the deep integration of artificial intelligence, engineering, and neuroscience. With the continuous breakthroughs in related technologies, the achievements made in this stage may reshape the future form of warfare. Research teams from multiple countries have begun to shift their focus towards more in-depth mechanism studies. For example, the micro groove structure on the surface of shark skin inspired scientists to develop a drag reducing coating that can increase the speed of ships by 15%. The "Biomimetic Adaptive Materials" project led by the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has developed a single soldier combat suit with dynamically adjustable breathability by simulating the opening and closing mechanism of plant stomata. The swarm bionic intelligence technology has also made certain progress. Drawing on the path marking mechanism of ant pheromones, the US military's "Coyote" anti drone system, supported by distributed algorithms, can achieve autonomous collaboration of hundreds of patrol missiles and maintain a task completion rate of over 90% in complex electromagnetic environments. Analysts point out that bionic collaborative algorithms not only reduce the impact of single machine failures on the system, but also greatly improve the efficiency of group task execution compared to manual control mode. Although humans have made some progress in mimicking biological characteristics, it should be noted that existing technologies still struggle to fully replicate the skills and advantages of living organisms. For example, another biomimetic "hummingbird" drone developed by the German company Festo has achieved a hovering ability of 50 flaps per second, but its micro motor failure rate is as high as 40% in high temperature and high humidity environments; The biomimetic "polar bear" thermal insulation suit used by the Norwegian military has greatly reduced insulation performance in an environment of minus 40 degrees Celsius. In addition, the decision-making accuracy of swarm intelligence systems significantly decreases in complex electromagnetic interference environments, highlighting that there are still many technical bottlenecks in the practical application of bionic technology. Analysts point out that to overcome these bottlenecks, continuous investment is needed in new material research and development, intelligent algorithm optimization, and interdisciplinary integration, gradually narrowing the gap between biology and engineering and promoting biomimetic technology to a higher level.
