Stephan Sjöberg on Swedens Artillery Transformation

Ahead of Future Artillery 2026, The World's Largest Indirect Fires Forum, this exclusive interview with Colonel Stephan Sjöberg, Chief of Artillery for the Swedish Armed Forces, explores how Sweden is transforming its artillery capabilities in response to a rapidly evolving security environment.

With Sweden undergoing a significant shift in defence posture following its integration into NATO, the interview examines the country's efforts to rebuild and modernise its fires capability - moving from a limited baseline towards a more integrated, multi-domain approach. Colonel Sjöberg shares his perspective on the changing role of artillery, the importance of intelligence and coordination, and the growing emphasis on speed, adaptability, and resilience across modern land forces.

The discussion also touches on the challenges of capability development, multinational cooperation, and the need to align innovation with operational reality, as well as how Sweden is approaching long-term artillery growth within the Alliance framework.
