The present and future of artillery in high intensity conflicts

The war in Ukraine highlighted among NATO allies the importance of adapting the military instrument to the risk of prolonged, large-scale and high-intensity conflicts. In this context, artillery capabilities have regained great importance, placing emphasis on quality, quantity and range, but also on ammunition stocks commensurate with the threat. However, the integration of artillery within a wider range of assets (including long-range precision fire) and advanced Intelligence Surveillance Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) assets are fundamental to an effective capability in this area. Meanwhile, recent events in the Red Sea have demonstrated how naval artillery is gaining a leading role as a cost-effective solution for defending against drone and swarming threats.

These issues are at the center of an IAI study which will be previewed on 11 June 2024. Authoritative representatives of the armed forces, industry and national institutions will discuss it.
