Understanding Mils and Circles Conversion

What is a NATO Mil?

A NATO mil is a unit of angular measurement used primarily in military applications. One circle equals exactly 6,400 mils, making it slightly different from a true milliradian (which divides a circle into 6,283.185... parts). This standardization to 6,400 was chosen for its practical advantages in military calculations.

Conversion Formula

To convert from mils to circles, use this formula:

Circles = Mils ÷ 6,400
