What if the next revolution in lethality came not from new munitions, but from inside the barrel itself? Paradigm Shift Technologies’ EPVD® Advanced Gun Barrel Coatings replace toxic chrome with a high-performance, environmentally friendly solution that delivers a minimum 100% longer barrel life while improving accuracy and reducing maintenance costs.

Validated across USAF and Navy testing programs, EPVD® enables advanced munitions while minimizing heat damage and erosion, allowing warfighters to stay in the fight longer, with fewer barrel changes and lower sustainment burdens. The Department of Defense and allied nations are actively seeking alternatives to hexavalent chrome, and EPVD® is already proving it can fill that critical capability gap.

For programs seeking to increase readiness, lower cost-per-shot, and meet environmental compliance without compromising performance, Paradigm Shift’s EPVD® is the next logical step in modernizing your barrel fleet.

At a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.2%, combined with an increasingly complex battlefield, demands for artillery platforms are not only increasing in quantity but changing in nature. As forces shift to near-peer deterrence, new mobility, targeting, range, networking, and lethality capabilities are required. This report covers the artillery sector's most critical programmes, spending, and forecasts. This report covers programmes related to:

• Gun/Tube artillery
• Rocket Artillery
• Precision Ammunition
• Loitering Munitions
• Target Acquisition Technologies such as AI
• Coastal Artillery
  

Despite all the advances in technology, artillery remains a core part of any army. We were very fortunate to interview Colonel Leon L. Rogers II, Project Manager, Combat Ammunition Systems (PM CAS), from the JPEO Armaments & Ammunition. In this piece, Colonel Rogers dives into the latest development and challenges faced by the JPEO Armaments & Ammunition. An essential piece of reading for anyone interested in the JPEO’s wishes from industry.

As we prepare for Future Artillery 2026—returning to London for its 25th anniversary from 19–21 May 2026—we’re sharing a key piece of thought leadership originally featured during Future Indirect Fires. In this in-depth interview, Colonel Gregory Tomlin, Army Capability Manager for Division Artillery Formations, discusses the U.S. Army’s latest Transformation Initiative, which aims to modernize the force, increase lethality, and restructure formations.

Drawing on his 24-year career as a Field Artillery officer, Colonel Tomlin offers unique insights into:

• Modernization priorities shaping artillery capabilities
• The importance of international collaboration in future force design
• Lessons learned from operational deployments and strategic roles

This perspective is essential for anyone involved in artillery modernization and will inform discussions at Future Artillery 2026.
