The information-based systematic operation becomes a major form of the war and a major direction of the development of related studies. The information-based warfare equipment system is the fundamental issue in the accurate information flow, the efficient control, and the comprehensive application in a battlefield, to enhance the joint combat capability and to win the information-based war. The new generation information-based combat equipments in the joint operational environment are technology-intensive, with complicated battle management, therefore, the planning and design of the weapons system based on the overall strategic situation is very important. This paper reviews the information-based operational system development, the characteristics of the system, the equipment system verification, and the main processes, which features "demand driven, system architecture dominant".
