Sniper team from different G-Worlds

The metric system (SI units) is a base-10 measurement system based on the meter, kilogram and second. But it is tied to earth.

A second, which historically was defined as 1/86,400 of a day, now defined as a fixed numerical value of the caesium frequency. The meter is defined as the length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second. A newton is the force that would give a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of one meter per second per second. So the metric system is tied to earth.

Civilizations from different planets would have different measuring systems, but the need for math with large and small quantities means advanced races probably would have a base-10 system. (That may be a stretch, but it's an assumption I feel safe to make.)

Two individuals from different gravity worlds, a sniper from Earth (1G - increments of Earth gravity) and a 1.5G spotter forced to work together on a 1.2G world. Obviously, they have their heights as a reference.

What would be the minimum information they would have to exchange to work as a functional sniper team?

Sniper uses rifle scope, and spotter uses their eyes (binocular vision with retinas that lengthen to zoom vision). You can assume they can communicate in the same trading language and an artificial intelligence is available. Target distance 1km to 1.5km.
