Summary/Abstract: The standardization and the interoperability are the basic pillars of all multinational joint military operations in general and of those specific to artillery structures in particular. Regardless of the firing capabilities of a multinational coalition partner's artillery, regardless of the constructive performances of the cannons, of the ammunition or the possibilities of using its sensors, without a unitary integration of all the artillery structures in the sense of their permanent interaction and interconnection in order to provide efficient and effective fire support throughout the operation in a unitary manner with the allocation and gradual use of the available resources, with accessing the same fire control and command systems, the expected effects cannot be achieved. It is essential that all the artillery structures involved in these types of operations should use both similar command and control systems and standardized targeting procedures to allow their permanent interaction without any limitations or constraints so that, based on thorough planning, a maximum number of targets can be engaged with a maximum precision
