European Market Snapshot; Future Mortar Systems

Due to the Ukrainian conflict, Europe has stepped up its defence modernisation plans and industrial manufacturing capabilities. Developments on the battlefield have emphasised the importance of mobile and dispersed indirect fire, which is reflected in recent investments by European defence ministries in self-propelled mortar platforms and network communication equipment. At the same time, some European nations are investing in their mortar ammunition production capabilities, in some cases quadrupling their output. In preparation for the Future Mortar Conference, we are releasing the European Market Snapshot, highlighting some of the most essential investments in mortar technology.
