A theme that arises from the increasing digitisation of the modern battlefield is imposing a continuous demand on the modernisation of armies' artillery systems. Recent armed conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, clearly show that Artillery fire support and anti-aircraft defence are increasingly important, as the application of new technologies has improved their characteristics and revived their role on the battlefield.
Maximising firepower in multidomain operations is a complex and challenging task that requires a deep understanding of the capabilities and limitations of each domain, as well as effective integration and coordination among different types of military units to achieve the desired outcome. This requires effective communication and coordination, increasing the speed and accuracy of operations, as well as the use of advanced technologies and systems, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and autonomous systems that are being used to improve situational awareness and decision-making.
Modern artillery systems can now deliver highly accurate and lethal attacks on targets at increasingly greater distances thanks to advanced guidance and targeting systems. Drones and unmanned combat aerial vehicles are being used for reconnaissance and surveillance missions, as well as for launching missiles and rockets. These advances in technology are enabling the military to conduct operations with greater efficiency and effectiveness, providing them with a significant advantage on the battlefield.
Overall, the discussions scheduled for this seminar event will provide participants with a deep understanding of the latest developments in artillery systems, challenges, and opportunities associated with maximising the firepower of field artillery and anti-aircraft defence units in the development of a modern, well-prepared, and equipped force to face the challenges of modern warfare.

Maximising
the firepower.
Artillery, missiles and rockets are essential components of modern warfare. These weapon systems have undergone significant advancements in technology, making them more powerful, accurate, and effective in achieving military objectives. With new technologies, artillery systems can now deliver precise attacks on targets at greater distances. Missiles and rockets are equipped with advanced guidance and tracking systems, allowing them to hit targets with pinpoint accuracy.
New technologies such as hypersonic missiles are being developed for even faster and more accurate strikes. Unmanned systems such as drones and unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs) are being used for reconnaissance and surveillance, as well as for launching missiles and rockets. These advances in technology are allowing the military to conduct operations more efficiently and effectively, giving them a significant advantage on the battlefield.

Achieving Greater Value for All
Ecosystemic
thinking.
In the complex scenario of rapid and intense transformations that we are experiencing, we rethink the traditional concept of holding events, structuring Tomorrow Forces within an ecosystemic thinking, with a modular vision interconnected between different parts so that relationships can be promoted based on a theme symbiotic elements that will make it possible to achieve greater value for all participants in the event, whether in business or the dissemination of knowledge. A way that challenges traditional thinking, both in the way we see relationships and in the way of creating and sharing value for different actors.
The figure on the side summarises the ecosystem thinking for this edition of Precision: Artillery, Missiles and Rockets. Not thinking of the howitzer or the missile as an isolated platform, in its vertical orientation, but thinking of it in its horizontal orientation (the ecosystem) in which different parts and interested actors are connected. A holistic view of the highlighted theme that will result in benefits for all event participants and all connections that are part of Tomorrow Forces.

Global Geopolitics and Contemporary Conflicts: Implications for Brazil
Over the last few decades, the global geopolitical scenario has been undergoing constant transformations, resulting from the rise of new actors, power reconfigurations and unprecedented challenges. Global security is rapidly changing and the risk of conflict between countries is becoming more acute, with profound implications for diverse sectors of global society, war and arms control. Today’s international system is characterised by a multipolar nature, which is still inconclusive and generates greater instability and insecurity at an international level. What can we expect? What is the path to be followed by Defence? What transformations will be required of the Brazilian defence apparatus?
