Future Land Forces
Globally, our land forces are facing complex threats that will challenge our ability to compete with peer adversaries in future warfare. Recently our potential adversaries have not been standing still: far from it. They have been observing our armaments, equipment, and tactics to develop increasingly capable forces of their own. As a result, our land forces now face a multitude of advanced threats; uncrewed aerial systems, anti-armour rounds, loitering munitions and Cyber/EW effects to name but a few. As a result, land forces are transforming physically, conceptually, and culturally to maintain advantage in an ever-shifting world shaped by technology, climate change and increasingly aggressive state and non-state actors.
To address future challenges, nations must identify and anticipate their capability gaps and develop solutions to these at pace. This is critical for land forces to deter conflict and, if called upon, counter and prevail over our adversaries in combat. Success in future land warfare requires learning the lessons of the past and using innovative, cutting-edge solutions to meet the characteristics of the information age battlefield. Increasingly our land forces must operate jointly across domains, with allies and partners to contribute effectively towards large-scale combat operations.
Future equipment is being designed to be more lethal, expeditionary, and integrated, centred around digital capabilities. Our Future Land Forces conference will bring together an authoritative speaker faculty with leading industry experts, programme managers, capability and requirements teams, front-line commanders, engineers and scientists to provide a forum for sharing common problems, networking and finding solutions to the problems land forces face now and in the future.
