TAKING FIRE POWER FORWARD ON NATO’S EASTERN FLANK
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has heightened the security of the countries on NATO’s eastern flank. The modernisation of the armed forces in this region, including the development of artillery, air defence and military infrastructure continues to be a top priority, as part of the modernisation process. The intensity of artillery usage in Ukraine has demonstrated the critical role of the multinational artillery and fires community.
Future Indirect Fires Eastern Europe will look at ways to strengthen NATO’s collective defence readiness and allied presence on the eastern flank and brings together the artillery community, from military capability developers and operational users to industry experts drawn from across the artillery ecosystem to address the challenges in the region, whilst examining the key themes:
- The future of indirect fires
- Improving precision
- Developments in munition supply chains
- The role of indirect fires in the composition of forces
- The use of UAVs on the battlefield
- Enhancing survivability and CCD
- Loitering munitions
