Sextants
Sextants are a unit of angular measurement used primarily in navigation and astronomy, representing one-sixth of a full circle, or 60 degrees. The sextant instrument, named after this unit, is used to measure the angle between two visible objects, such as a star and the horizon, enabling precise determination of latitude and longitude at sea.
Milli-radians
Milli-radians (mrad) are a unit of angular measurement equal to one-thousandth of a radian. This small unit is used in fields such as ballistics, gunnery, and optics, where precise angular measurements are critical. Milli-radians allow for the calculation of minute angular displacements, distances, and target adjustments.
