The Future of Military Artillery: Loitering Munitions

Conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East have shown a shift in modern warfare, and one pillar that embodies these changes is military artillery. One example of the evolution of military artillery is loitering munitions, which combine the accuracy of missiles with the versatility of drones.

This report will provide key information such as:

• an overview of what loitering munitions are
• how they are being used in modern conflicts
• A look at the DoD's Project Lasso

For more on loitering munitions, be sure to register for Future Indirect Fires taking place January 14-15 at The Downright Hotel in Austin, Texas. This event will feature speakers such as the Honorable Dr. Douglas Schmidt, Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) for the DoD. Beyond loitering munitions, the event will also explore the new Self-Propelled Howitzer, and the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment Two.
