Joint Fires Summit

The 2025 Joint Fires Summit will bring together DoD, Military Services, Combatant Commands, Acquisition Authorities, Industry, and Academia to discuss how they are jointly working toward fielding next-gen, surface-to-surface precision fires that will significantly increase range, effects, and lethality over current systems. This forum will further examine innovative fires initiatives and technologies that are being integrated across all domains in a dynamic, highly competitive operational environment.

The Joint Fires Summit will offer senior level discussions from across the military services centered around providing a lethal, modernized and survivable fires force that is prepared for the evolving nature of global conflicts. Innovative technologies necessary to advance such weapons systems across the Joint Force, such as enhanced strike targeting, as well as increased efforts to field cutting edge fires capabilities will also be covered. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from Combatant Commands and key acquisition authorities about critical programs and systems being tested and integrated to create a more interoperable, common operating picture. These include: the Joint Fires Network, JTIC2S, Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 and Mid-Range Capability. Additionally, this Summit will offer insight into how enemies are continuing to bolster their air and missile defense capabilities making it critical for the US Military to address specific capability gaps through exercises such as Valiant Shield, which help in developing precision strike weapons, indirect fires, artillery/munitions, and other standoff weapons systems in anti-access/area denial (A2/AD) environments.
