Death of canada towed artillery system

from The Deep dive podcast

The Indirect Fires Modernization and Joint Fires Modernization programmes mark the end of Canada’s reliance on slow, towed guns and the beginning of a fully automated, self‑propelled era. We explore how the Army is shifting toward high‑mobility howitzers, integrated mortar platforms, and digitally networked fire‑control systems designed to survive — and strike — in the age of drones and counter‑battery radars.You’ll hear how partnerships with global defence heavyweights like BAE Systems, Hanwha, and KNDS are reshaping Canada’s industrial landscape, and why Ottawa is expanding its military footprint in Latvia as part of a broader NATO transformation. We break down the rise of “shoot‑and‑scoot” tactics, the push to integrate uncrewed ground vehicles into artillery units, and the race to ensure full interoperability across the Alliance.Beneath the hardware lies a deeper story: a country diversifying its supply chain, adapting to shifting geopolitical fault lines, and preparing its forces for high‑intensity conflict where speed, automation, and survivability decide who fires first — and who fires last.This is the future of Canadian firepower, and it’s arriving faster than most people realize.
