Artillery Systems Asia Conference

The First and Only Dedicated Artillery Systems Conference in Asia!

Artillery systems that are light, maneuverable and provide accurate support fires are required for low intensity conflicts common in the Asian region, and the newer platforms and upgrade options provide that capability. Armies in Asia are looking to upgrade their artillery systems in line with the modernisation programmes being implemented across the board.

The impetus is on acquiring larger barreled 155mm field artillery systems towed and motorised that are lightweight and maneuverable to replace the aging and older 105mm equipment most Armies in this region still utilise en masse.

India is one of the most important Armies in the region when it comes to artillery equipment modernisation and acquisition. The Indian Army is looking at a $4 billion artillery modernisation programme, for the acquisition of 814 motorised howitzers, aiming to induct roughly 2,814 guns of different types
