Understanding Mils and Milliradians
What is a Mil (NATO)?
A mil is an angular measurement equal to 1/6,400 of a full circle. The NATO mil was adopted during WWI for artillery sights, chosen for its practical simplicity in military applications. While similar to the milliradian, the NATO mil is slightly different for operational convenience.
What is a Milliradian?
A milliradian (mrad) is 1/1000 of a radian, equaling approximately 0.0573 degrees. There are 6,283 milliradians in a complete circle. This unit is commonly used in mathematics and precision shooting, offering high accuracy for angular measurements.
Conversion Formula
To convert from mils to milliradians, multiply the number of mils by 0.981748:
milliradians = mils × 0.981748
