Future Mortar Systems
Explore the future of organic fire support in the brave new world of the post-Afghanistan era
Afghanistan has dominated our thinking for the past decade. However, with the drawdown and defence budgets shrinking, the question on everyone’s lips is – what comes next? Debate rages over how to preventing skill atrophy, the cost of live-fire training and the future of precision munitions.

Future Mortar Systems 2013 brings together our most diverse international speaker faculty to engage in pro-active dialogue on a range of issues set to define mortar systems in the coming years.
