During the Ukraine war, the importance of artillery has been reemphasised because of the contested air space. Defence iQ has had the privilege of interviewing Colonel Baranov who was appointed to lead the Ukrainian Artillery War. Colonel Baranov’s interview provides unique insights into the conflict.

For hundreds of years artillery continued to shape the battlefield. New technologies and concepts applied to artillery ensured that it remained relevant to this day. It is for this reason that conferences such as future artillery continue to hold importance. This Post Show Report highlights the success of last years event in France. Not ones to stagnate, we hope to not only replicate last years success but take the feedback received and take it even further. This PSR covers:

• Attending Nations
• Commentary on the Event
• List of past vendors a job titles that attended
  

Ahead of the Future Artillery conference, Defence iQ is proud to release its 2023 Market Report, focusing on three selected nations: Europe, the US, and Australia.

This report of selected nations (European, the US, and Australia) analyses the current demand focusing on the trends of:

• Gun/Tube Artillery
• Rocket Artillery Guided
• Artillery Munitions
  

The adoption of the HIMARS has received great fan fair in the media, giving Ukrainian forces unprecedented capabilities in theatre. Adam Schluer puts the adoption into perspective, analysing what these capabilities mean for both Ukrainian and Russian forces.

The Global Artillery Market is currently valued at just under $5 billion in 2021 and is forecast to be valued at $50 billion over the next 10 years.

One of the best things about events returning to in-person format is being able to network and reconnect with your peers. That's why I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the attendee list for the 2022 event.

In this exclusive industry report created ahead of this year’s Future Artillery conference, Defence iQ gained insight from three industry leaders in this space and sponsors of the event: ESG Elektroniksystem-und Logisitk-GmbH, Raytheon and Avibras.

Key benefits of downloading the report:

• Gain insight on key topics surrounding artillery such as ISR and targeting, from industry leaders who will be present at Future Artillery
• Learn more about what industry sees as the greatest challenge facing the artillery community in the next decade from key leaders who will be present at Future Artillery

In this report, ESG Elektroniksystem-und Logisitk-GmbH , Raytheon and Avibras answer the following questions:

• If you were to identify one technology that will define the way future artillery systems are designed and used, what technology would that be?
• How is your company approaching the demands facing joint fires in an era of multi-domain operations?
• What, in your opinion, is the single greatest challenge facing the artillery community as it enters a new decade?
• A key theme for this year is the ISR and targeting infrastructure that will be integral to the future application of fires. How do you, as an industry leader, view that challenge?
• What should the future capability balance look like for fires? How do we balance lethality with survivability and manoeuvrability, and to what extent can long-range precision fires offset the need for greater mass?

In 2020, the conference will look not just at the systems themselves, but at the network and ISTAR enterprise that will be integral to applying fires in the future land and joint environment. ESG Elektroniksystem-und Logisitk-GmbH , Raytheon and Avibras will all be sponsoring this year’s Future Artillery conference.

There is a sense of urgency within allied forces to reestablish their artillery capabilities, as they remain a vital asset for both self-defence and expeditionary warfare; by 2027, the Global Artillery and Systems market is projected to reach US$10.4 billion.

Defence IQ had the opportunity to discuss with Brigadier Paul Tennant, Chief Joint Fires and Influence, HQ ARRC NATO and speaker at the event. In this exclusive transcript of the interview, he talks about the future of the joint fires operating environment, the growing reliance on technology for training, the strategic priorities and challenges for NATO, and how allied troops should align their requirements to counter the adversaries' capabilities.

With four distinct conferences – Future Artillery, Land Forces Training; Land C4ISR and Infantry Lethality and Firepower running simultaneously - alongside a joint exhibition space – this event will provide a platform for a broad cross-section of army, marine and joint personnel to discuss the fielding of lethal, agile forces, equipped for land operations in a multi-domain era. Take a look at the concept note. 

Defence IQ sought to understand how key partners of the conference see the future of the artillery market and how that impacts the solutions they offer on the market.

In this exclusive report, Yishai Ziv, Marketing Manager at Rafael and Paul Daniels, International and Growth Programme Lead at Raytheon provide us with a unique insight into the artillery market and give us a taste of the upcoming conference this May.

At the 2017 Future Artillery Conference, Dwayne D Hynes, Deputy Chief of Staff, G-2 From U.S. Army gave this exclusive presentation on Fire Support and the Operational Environment Through 2030. To give you an idea of the high level sessions at the Future Artillery events, I invite you to download this exclusive presentation.

In the first part of the Future Fires series release ahead of the Future Artillery conference, Defence iQ gained exclusive insight from Colonel Roberto P Fernandez Rosado, Head of Artillery Training and Doctrine, Training and Doctrine Command, Spanish Army on the main priorities for the Spanish Army and the role of artillery in multi-domain operations.

Key benefits of downloading the interview:

• Gain insider insight into Fuerza 2035 from Colonel Rosado, who will attend Future Artillery
• Understand the role of artillery in an era of multi-domain operations in the Spanish Army from Colonel Rosado who will attend Future Artillery
• Learn more about the Spanish Army’s approach to ISR and targeting infrastructure in the future application of fires, from Colonel Rosado who will attend Future Artillery

In this interview, Colonel Rosado answers the following questions:

• What is the number one priority for your artillery force as we enter a new decade?
• How will the role of artillery change in an era of multi-domain operations? Do you see fires exceeding their traditional roles of force suppression and manoeuvre support and, if so, how?
• The capability balance for fires is a topic of debate across and beyond NATO. How do we balance lethality with manoeuvrability and survivability, and to what extent can long-range precision systems be traded off against greater mass?
• A new focus for this year’s programme is the ISR and targeting infrastructure that will be so critical to supporting the future application of fires. How is your force developing its approach to these issues?
• If you were to identify one technology that will shape future fires, what technology would that be?

At Future Artillery 2020, Colonel Roberto P Fernandez Rosado will discuss JISR integration with indirect fires C2 systems. To download the full agenda of the conference and see who will join him on the speaker panel, please click here.
