The modern sea battlefield environment is complex and the detection objects and the combat forms are diverse. At the same time, the multi-platform equipment has network features, with new requirements and challenges, as compared with that in the traditional naval battle model. With the rapid development of the artificial intelligence technology, the intelligent warfare is beginning to emerge. This paper introduces the concept and the connotation of the intelligent warfare with the application of the artificial intelligence in future naval battles, and analyzes the basic style of the artificial intelligence being integrated into the combat. The future characteristics and laws of the intelligent naval warfare pattern are introduced and the bottlenecks and the challenges faced by the intelligent naval warfare are systematically summarized. Finally, some measures and suggestions for adapting to the future intelligent naval warfare are discussed.
