Milliradians to Mils (NATO) Converter

To convert a measurement in milliradians to a measurement in mils, simply multiply the angle by the conversion ratio of 1.018592 mils/milliradian, as explained by Joe Sexton.

How to Convert Milliradians to Mils

By Joe Sexton

Step 1: Understand the Inputs

Imagine you have an angle measured in milliradians. Milliradians are a unit used to measure angles, where one milliradian is equal to 1/1000 of a radian. It’s like having a small slice of a pie when the whole pie represents a full circle.

For our conversion, you’ll need to know the angle in milliradians.

Step 2: Apply the Conversion Formula

To convert milliradians to mils, we use the following formula:

Mils = Milliradians × 1.018592

This means you take the angle in milliradians and multiply it by 1.018592 to get the equivalent angle in mils.

Step 3: Understand the Result

After applying the formula, you’ll get the angle in mils. Mils are another unit used to measure angles, particularly in military and NATO contexts. One mil is equal to 1/6400 of a circle.

So, if you convert an angle from milliradians to mils, you’re essentially finding out how many mils that angle represents.

Step 4: Example Calculation

Let’s say you have an angle of 5 milliradians that you want to convert to mils. Using the formula:

Mils = 5 mrad × 1.018592

This gives:

Mils = 5 × 1.018592 = 5.09296 mils

So, 5 milliradians is equivalent to approximately 5.09296 mils.

Step 5: Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily convert angles from milliradians to mils. Understanding this conversion allows you to work with angles in different units, which can be useful in various fields such as mathematics, engineering, and military applications.
