Downright Hotel, Austin, TX

Supporting Next-Generation Capability Development and Fires Recapitalization

The 2025 Future Indirect Fires Summit will bring 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. Our discussions will focus on achieving enhanced lethality, survivability, precision, and range.

Thought leaders will provide insights into modern warfare and the quest for increased firepower. Throughout the summit, we will examine current US DoD programs, including the new Self-Propelled Howitzer, the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment Two, and Project LASSO among others. The event will serve as a platform to address the challenges of counter UAS and C4ISR to support indirect fire success.

We will explore the challenges of keeping up with rapidly evolving technology and the need for common software systems. Additionally, we will investigate the defense industrial base’s critical role in supporting indirect fires, hear from operational-level leaders on capability gaps, and discuss the future of indirect fires and their pivotal role in military success.

Novotel London West, London, UK

Delivering the Next Generation of Rotary Capabilities up to and Beyond 2040

Bringing together the most influential stakeholders from the global rotary wing community, the 24th annual International Military Helicopter (IMH), will delve into future procurement activities and investments that are delivering next generation capability, able to support tomorrow’s mission.

As nations invest in the renewal of legacy fleets or procure next generation platforms, the shifting international environment shows clear challenges when operating against peer or near peer adversaries. The increasing sophistication and capability of unmanned systems causing us to rethink how we deliver the capability that only rotary wing platforms can.
 

With the size of the global military helicopter market expected to grow to $72.81 billion by 2027, IMH will provide the most valuable forum to address these issues. Covering a range of critical topics, International Military Helicopter 2025 will examine those which are relevant to the modern battlefield and the role of rotary aviation across the domains.
