On-Site Survey Results from the 2025 Future Indirect Fires Summit

In January 2025, IDGA hosted its Future Indirect Fires Summit in Austin, Texas. This two-day event brought 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. Discussions on-site also focused on achieving enhanced lethality, survivability, precision, and range.

Throughout the event, attendees were urged to participate in live polling to share their thoughts on the current status of indirect fires in the U.S. Military. The following infographic displays survey results on topics such as:

  • Which technology advancements hold the most promise for future fires
  • Areas of munitions management that require the most attention
  • The challenges of integrating new technologies into existing artillery units
