STANAG 4500

STANAG 4500 field artillery muzzle velocity

Makers of field artillery fire-control systems and the armed forces that specify muzzle-velocity measurement and exchange between them.

STANAG 4500 is NATO's agreement on determining, exchanging and predicting field artillery muzzle velocity for fire control. 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 4500 is the NATO Standardization Agreement on procedures to determine field artillery muzzle velocity management, interchangeability and prediction. Edition 2, promulgated in May 2014 under NATO's CNAD, AC/225 NAAG, ICGIF, covers the publication AEP-70 edition A. NATO marks it NATO UNCLASSIFIED and has not released STANAG 4500 publicly, so this page describes it from the entry for its Czech implementation, ČOS 130011, in the Czech defence standards index.

What the Czech implementation covers

The Czech defence standard ČOS 130011 implements STANAG 4500 edition 2 (AEP-70(A)). Its Czech title refers to the muzzle (initial) velocity of projectiles in ground artillery. Its entry in the Czech defence standards index states that the Czech standard sets out procedures for calculating, recording and passing on data about the muzzle velocities of projectiles between NATO forces and systems for fire control. According to the same entry, it does not apply to direct-fire weapon systems or to ground-based anti-aircraft weapon systems.

Put STANAG 4500 on a system that keeps the evidence

Documents, training, risks and evidence in one place, with the trail an auditor asks for.

How we help

A supplier bound by STANAG 4500 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.
