During the Hot Topic, a series of presentations and panel discussions will focus on topics such as offensive and defensive fires as a system, extending the range and survivability of long-range precision fires, denying adversaries’ freedom of maneuver and integrated warfighting, to include sensing, targeting and sustainment.
