Colonel Stephan Sjöberg On Sweden's Artillery Transformation and The Future of Multi-Domain Operations

Precision fires, deep strike capabilities, and the integration of intelligence, sensors, and effectors across domains are reshaping how land forces operate and how military leaders think about firepower. For Sweden, this transformation is particularly significant. Following years in which artillery capabilities were reduced, the Swedish Armed Forces are now rapidly rebuilding and modernising their fires capability as part of a broader shift in national defence posture and integration into NATO. Ahead of Defence IQ's Future Artillery Conference, we spoke with Colonel Stephan Sjöberg, Chief of Artillery for the Swedish Armed Forces, about the lessons shaping Sweden's artillery resurgence, the growing importance of multi-domain operations, and the role of innovation, cooperation, and resilience in future fires capabilities.
