MIL-STD (U.S. Military Standard)

MIL-STD, or Military Standard, is a set of technical guidelines developed by the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure products, materials, and processes meet strict performance, quality, and reliability requirements for military applications. These standards help ensure compatibility, safety, durability, and interoperability of military equipment across various branches and platforms. By following MIL-STD, manufacturers produce military-grade items that function reliably under extreme conditions, facilitating consistent and efficient procurement, testing, and maintenance of defense systems globally.
