Conversion Process
This conversion uses Radian as the base unit. We'll first convert Degree to Radian, then convert from Radian to Angular Mil.
Step 1: Convert from Degree to Radian
1 × 0.0174532925199433 = 0.0174532925199433
Result: 0.0174532925199433 Radian
Step 2: Convert from Radian to Angular Mil
0.0174532925199433 × 1,018.59 = 17.78
Result: 17.78 Angular Mil
Direct Conversion Factor
1 × 17.78 = 17.78
Direct conversion: 1 Degree = 17.78 Angular Mil
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.
