military grid reference system (MGRS)

A system which uses a standard-scaled grid square, based on a point of origin on a map projection of the surface of the earth to permit either position referencing or the computation of direction and distance between grid positions; the MGRS uses the WGS 84 reference datum and the Universal Transverse Mercator projection system.
