Edge computing is a new computing model that is different from the traditional cloud computing model. It helps to relieve the pressure on the network bandwidth and cloud computing center, reduce the computing system latency, and improve the service responsiveness by deploying computing and storage resources closer to the network edge and data source. Edge computing has been widely used and rapidly developed in the civil field due to its numerous benefits. In order to make better use of edge computing technology in military applications, we have carefully analyzed the characteristics of the military application environment. In response to these characteristics, we believe that edge computing technology can be applied to the field of equipment maintenance in order to improve equipment maintenance effectiveness. Based on these, researchers proposed a deployment model and main application scenarios for edge computing technology utilized in the equipment support field. Finally, researchers summarized three major advantages and proposed three suggestions to promote the use of edge computing technology in the equipment support field.
