Zulu

Zulu is a term used to refer to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) in the field of navigation and aviation. It originates from the military and aviation sectors to avoid confusion across time zones. When someone says "Zulu time," they are indicating the time based on UTC, which is the precise global time standard. This system helps coordinate international activities such as aviation schedules, military operations, and weather reporting, ensuring everyone refers to the same universal time regardless of their local time zone.
