Conversion Process
This conversion uses Radian as the base unit. We'll first convert Angular Mil to Radian, then convert from Radian to Radian.
Step 1: Convert from Angular Mil to Radian
1 × 9.82e-4 = 9.82e-4
Result: 9.82e-4 Radian
Step 2: Convert from Radian to Radian
9.82e-4 × 1 = 9.82e-4
Result: 9.82e-4 Radian
Direct Conversion Factor
1 ÷ 1,018.59 = 9.82e-4
Direct conversion: 1 Angular Mil = 9.82e-4 Radian
Angular Mil (mil)
System: Military
Definition:1 NATO mil is 1/6400 of a full rotation or circle. $1\text{ NATO mil} = \frac{2\pi}{6400} = \frac{\pi}{3200}$ radians $\approx 0.9817$ milliradians.
Origin: Derived from the milliradian (approx. π/3141.6 rad), rounded for easier calculation (e.g., 6400 divisions in a circle for NATO).
Common Usage: Used for sighting, range estimation ("milling"), and directing artillery fire.
Synonyms: angular mil, NATO mil
