Why You Should Attend This Summit:
The 2023 Joint Fires Summit will focus on developing and fielding cutting edge fires and strike capabilities to meet the growing challenges of strategic competition across the globe. The need to have reliable and lethal systems capable of penetrating enemy area denial systems is a growing priority as potential enemies continue to invest in their defense capabilities while also developing hypersonic and other standoff weapons systems. The modernization of Joint Fires capabilities and Multi-Domain Operations is considered a top priority, with a requested $24 billion investment in the FY 2023 budget. Attendees will hear unique insight from leaders throughout DoD, Military, and Industry about the opportunities and challenges that will define Joint Fires in the next decade of multi-domain operations. Speakers will share their perspective on efforts to enhance combat readiness, improve artillery systems for direct and indirect fires, and increase interoperability with joint partners and allies. Finally, a panel of experts and leaders from across the DoD, Industry, & Academia will convene to detail their initiatives toward embracing a modern air denial strategy to deter enemy attacks and maintain a competitive advantage. ________________________________________________________________________________________2022 Participating Organizations Included:
