Understanding Mil to Radian Conversion
What is a Mil?
A mil (NATO) is equal to 1/6,400 of a circle. It's commonly used in military applications for artillery and weapon sights. The NATO mil is slightly different from a true milliradian (which is 1/6,283 of a circle) for practical simplicity in field calculations.
What is a Radian?
A radian is the SI unit for measuring angles, defined as the angle made at the center of a circle by an arc equal in length to the radius. One complete circle equals approximately 6.28318 radians (2Ï€ radians).
Conversion Formula
To convert from mils to radians, multiply the angle in mils by 0.000982. This conversion factor comes from the relationship between NATO mils and radians (2Ï€/6400).
