NATO words:
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) alphabet assigned code words to
speak digits and acrophonically to the letters of the ISO basic Latin alphabet (
Alfa for A,
Bravo for B, etc.)
so that critical combinations of letters and numbers can be pronounced
and understood by those who
transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native
language or the
presence of transmission static.[2] Table 1 represents the NATO words:
A—Alpha ; B—Bravo ; C—Charlie ; D—Delta;
E—Echo;
F—Foxtrot ; G—Golf ;
H—Hotel ; I—India ; K—Kilo
; L—Lima;
M—Mike; N—November; O—Oscar;
P—Papa;
R—Romeo; S—Sierra; T—Tango; U—Uniform; V—Victor; W—Whiskey;
Y—Yankee; Z—Zulu.
