Abstract

This document summarizes the presentations given at Future Artillery 2015 in London. The Joint concept was the focus in many contributions. Limited financial resources hinder acquisition and training and make it necessary that the materiel can be used by a small crew. Other common topics were extended range, simulations, lethal and non-lethal effect, precision and logistics. Several speakers mentioned a need of reducing focus on international missions and regain the ability to fight with larger forces more similar to what was done during the cold war.
