STANAG 4119
STANAG 4119 indirect fire firing table format
Developers of artillery fire-control software and national defence authorities who compile and publish indirect-fire firing tables for field artillery and mortar systems.
STANAG 4119 is the NATO agreement on the format of numerical firing tables for indirect-fire field artillery and mortars. NATO has not released it publicly; this page describes it from the Czech defence standard that implements it.

NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.
What it is
STANAG 4119 is the NATO Standardization Agreement on the adoption of a standard indirect fire firing table format. Edition 3, promulgated in August 2019 under NATO's CNAD, AC/225 NAAG and ICGIF, is the document that adopts the allied publication AOP-55 (edition A), which sets out the format itself. Its purpose is interoperability: a standardised layout lets numerical firing tables be exchanged between the artillery staffs of NATO nations.
NATO has not released STANAG 4119 or AOP-55 publicly. This page describes them from a public national implementation, the Czech defence standard ČOS 102513 (3rd edition, effective November 2021), which states that it introduces STANAG 4119 edition 3 and AOP-55 edition A into Czech use, replacing the standard's 2nd edition. The Czech Republic acceded with a national reservation, recorded in the standard, that the Czech armed forces do not use cluster munitions under Czech law (Act No. 213/2011 Coll., as amended) - a national position, not part of NATO's own content. A national implementation can add such reservations, so treat what follows as the Czech implementation's content, not NATO's own text.
What the Czech implementation requires of a firing table
ČOS 102513 sets out the layout that indirect fire numerical firing tables must follow for field artillery and mortar munitions, in both full and abbreviated formats. It applies only to artillery weapon systems newly introduced into Czech army service after the standard took effect, not to systems already in service.
A firing table volume is set at roughly A5 page size, must be indexed for quick access to a given propelling charge, and uses common algebraic sign conventions throughout, printing negative values in red italic in several of its tables so they stand out from positive ones. Its data is organised into two parts: Part 1 (tables A to K) covers the standard projectile, with separate tables for range and fuze-timing corrections, deflection for drift and crosswind, air temperature and density, propellant temperature, projectile mass, and the earth's rotation; Part 2 covers other projectile types such as illuminating rounds. Table M holds the abbreviated format, which the standard says can be used without the specialised training the full format needs, including for checking the safety of fire-control-system output and for delimiting hazard areas. Probable-error data in the tables must, for weapon systems it covers, be compatible with the probable-error values in NATO's own artillery ballistics program, the NABK (AOP-37). An annex works through how the tables are read together to derive gun data for a single example fire mission.
How we help
A supplier bound by STANAG 4119 through a contract holds the obtained text through its national authority. In ComplyTrain you record the requirements that apply to you as your own requirements, give each an owner, and keep the evidence that shows you meet them against each one.

Three partners, three Member States, one evidence base
The EDF consortium rule is usually quoted as three entities from three Member States. It has a second limb about control that the word independent quietly hides, and two exceptions that disapply it entirely.
