Details

The global artillery market between now and 2025 is expected to increase by approximately 40% to US$5.2 billion. Understandably so, given that over the last decade, artillery has re-established itself as an indispensable tactical instrument, vital for both self-defence and expeditionary warfare.

The war against Daesh has seen the increased importance of artillery to contemporary joint fires operations. In the Donbass region, Ukraine faces an enemy with a modern and fully-integrated joint fires capability - underpinned by emerging technologies such as UAVs and superior communication systems.

A reaction from the Western world is required so that we can ensure that our joint fires capability is competitive and ready to face the modern threat.
