What is the NATO Phonetic Alphabet?

The NATO phonetic alphabet is a standardized way to spell letters using unique words so letters don’t get confused over noisy audio. Instead of saying “B” (which can sound like “D” or “P”), you say “Bravo.” This system is used in aviation, military, emergency services, and customer support—anywhere clarity matters.
