What Exactly Is the NATO Phonetic Alphabet?
The NATO Phonetic Alphabet (also called the ICAO or International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet) is a standardized way to spell words letter-by-letter over noisy or unreliable channels. Developed to avoid confusion between similar-sounding letters (think "B" vs. "D"), it’s used by pilots, military personnel, customer service reps, and even gamers worldwide. Each of the 26 letters has a designated word, like "Charlie" for "C" or "Tango" for "T".
