Future Indirect Fires Survey 2024/25

IDGA’s 2025 Future Indirect Fires Summit will bring together leaders from the indirect fire community to discuss the latest innovations in indirect fire systems, support systems, munitions, and challenges presented by the current conflict in Ukraine.

To get the conversation started early, experts in the artillery and munitions field, including several conference attendees, participated in the “IDGA Future Indirect Fires Survey 2024/25.” These respondents represent US military divisions such as Army Futures Command, and the Marines, international militaries such as the French army, and defense industry leaders such as Airbus and Draper.

This report will analyze the 45+ responses to the survey, focusing on areas such as next-gen munitions capabilities, lessons learned from the conflict in Ukraine, and what attendees of the Future Indirect Fires Summit are looking forward to learning more about at the summit.
