Mils (NATO) to Milliradians Converter

To convert a measurement in mils to a measurement in milliradians, multiply the angle by the following conversion ratio: 0.981748 milliradians/mil. Since one mil is equal to 0.981748 milliradians, you can use this simple formula to convert: milliradians = mils × 0.981748. The angle in milliradians is equal to the angle in mils multiplied by 0.981748.

How to Convert Mils to Milliradians

To convert an angle measurement from mils to milliradians, follow these steps:

1. Understand the Units: Mils (NATO) and milliradians are both units used to measure angles.
2. Know the Conversion Factor: One mil is equal to 0.981748 milliradians.
3. Use the Formula: Multiply the angle in mils by 0.981748 to get the angle in milliradians.

Here’s the formula:

Angle in Milliradians = Angle in Mils × 0.981748

For example, if you want to convert 5 mils to milliradians:

1. Multiply 5 mils by 0.981748:
2. Angle in Milliradians = (5 mils × 0.981748) = 4.908739 milliradians

So, 5 mils is equal to approximately 4.91 milliradians.

Understanding Mils and Milliradians

What Is a Mil?

• A mil, short for milliradian, represents 1/6,400 of a circle. However, the mil used by the US military and NATO forces slightly differs from the true milliradian value.
• Originally adopted during World War I, mils are commonly used for sighting and adjusting firearms.
• There are 0.981748 milliradians in one mil.

What Is a Milliradian?

• A milliradian is equal to 1/1,000 of a radian, or approximately 0.0573 degrees.
• There are 6,283 milliradians in a full revolution or circle.
• Milliradians are widely used in mathematics and science.
