Our proud return to The Honourable Artillery Company, one of the world’s most historic and beautiful artillery venues!

The annual Future Artillery Gala Dinner is one of the key conference highlights each year. The dinner is the ideal way to conclude the first day of the main conference, joining your new contacts and old acquaintances for drinks and dinner in the dramatic surroundings of the Honourable Artillery Company’s Armoury House.

This beautiful Grade II listed building is located in central Lon- don and has been home to the Honourable Artillery Company since 1735. The dinner is held in the Long Room, which retains several eighteenth-century features, such as the Royal Coat of Arms and Regimental Coat of Arms. On the walls are portraits of Captains-General and of other notable members of the Company. The most recent is of the present Captain-General, HM Queen Elizabeth II (1999).

Regiments of the Company have fought with distinction in both World Wars and its current Regiment, which forms part of the Territorial Army, has a demanding and exciting role as part of the Allied Command Europe Rapid Reaction Corps. Join your col- leagues, friends and peers for the perfect conclusion to the first day of conference in one of the most historic artillery venues in the world.

12:30 NETWORKING LUNCH 13:30 FUTURE MUNITIONS: WHAT EFFECTS ARE PARTICIPANTS SEEKING FROM THEIR ARTILLERY SYSTEMS? With the advent of Precision Guided Munitions (PGM) and Anti-Tank Artillery rounds, the boundaries of artillery systems are being further and further stretched. However the reality is that such technologies are not always applicable to the battlefield situation; are not always the most efficient munition in terms of cost; and finally are not an option that is open to all nations, based upon the capabilities of their current platforms. Nonetheless most would agree that more accurate or more powerful munitions would make artillery systems generally more effective, given an increased ability to transfer effects onto the target. However there is significant debate around the exact purpose of indirect fire systems: as area effect; suppressive; or indeed precision hit-to-kill capabilities? Given that munitions technologies, such as precision strike, receive a significant amount of R&D attention, these capabilities are undoubtedly an area that requires serious attention from the global artillery community. This interactive discussion session will cover a series of questions including: p How should the community perceive the role of artillery fire: suppression or lethality? p Can precision munitions fully provide for the needs of militaries given the associated expense of their use? p Is greater and greater range always desired, when CAS could take over this role? p How will PGM become incorporated into Joint Fires operations?

p Must more advanced C4i software be a requirement for increasingly capable munitions, as the fire support environment becomes increasingly cluttered? p What challenges will this change throw up for operators and commanders? For example how are state-of-the-art munitions (e.g. precision rounds) being developed to cope with different weather conditions and environments? This session is a must-attend for artillery commanders or program managers who wish to:

p Benefit from a discussion on the future of artillery munitions and how to plan you acquisition decisions in the future – are bespoke rounds really worth the investment? p Understand the real world applications of this cutting edge technology, from other nations, and how your units may take advantage of it p Learn from the experiences of other nations that have begun to use these advanced munitions in order to facilitate the effective acquisition and operationalising of this complex capability Anthony Lewis, Analyst, Land Platform Systems Team, DSTL Kirsty Small, Project Technical Authority, Land Indirect Fires and Enabling Systems Team, DSTL Ricky Hart, Capability Adviser, Land Fires, DSTL
