Joint Fires Summit 2025

The 4th annual 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.

Topics To Be Covered

• Ensuring a Lethal, Modernized and Survivable Fires Force That is Prepared for the Evolving Nature of Global Conflicts
• Delivering Advanced Capabilities Such as the Joint Fires Network to Help Bolster Deterrence in the INDOPACOM AOR
• Building Missile Defense Capacity With Urgency to Help Spearhead Army Modernization Efforts
• Driving the Development of the JTIC2S to Help Provide Fires Targeting Capability and a Joint Fires Targeting Common Operational Pictures Across Forces
• Fielding Emerging Commercial Technologies to Address USMC Capability Gaps for Loitering Munitions and Fires Capabilities
• Providing Strategic Deterrence, Global Strike, and Combat Support to Increase USAF Fires Capabilities
• Leading Army Initiatives Toward Improving the Strength and Agility of Field Artillery Systems & Munitions to Deliver More Precise, Punishing Effects on the Future Battlefield
• Enabling Higher Capability at a Lower Cost: Revamping DoD's Foreign Military Sales Process to Balance Speed, Efficiency, and Technology Security

Why You Should Attend This Summit

The DoD's highest defense priority remains to deter an attack against the United States. Our adversaries are fielding conventional long-range and hypersonic weapons that can threaten our allies, partners, and U.S. forces. Therefore, the FY 2025 budget requests $28.4 billion to enhance integrated air & missile-defense capabilities to defend the homeland, U.S. deployed forces, and our allies and partners against this growing missile threat. The Army's FY 2025 budget requests $9.8 billion has been allocated for long-range fires to hold adversary targets at risk from operationally relevant ranges and reduce risks to U.S. forces and assets. The Joint Fires Summit aims 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 to both keep pace with our adversaries & significantly increase range, effects, and lethality over current systems.

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.

The team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in the Joint Fires community acquisition authorities to key policymakers across military and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
