Tech-savvy woman praised as a military innovator

The Central Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army has established a reliable and efficient joint combat information system, thanks in large part to the work of Senior Colonel Yin Lu and her colleagues.

Yin, a senior information systems engineer, heads research and development of the system, which has extensively boosted the command's joint operations capabilities, according to Yin's commanding officer, who asked to be identified only as Meng.

"What Yin and her team have built is akin to a neural command network linking each and every component of the entire theater," Meng said at a recent news conference at the command's joint combat center in Beijing.
