Motivation

NATO Stock Numbers (NSNs) are used by NATO member country armed forces for identifying materiel (equipment, spare parts, components, etc) which can be ordered through military supply chains. With a NSN, public databases can be searched to retrieve manufacturer details, pricing, information on hazardous substances, some technical specification details and numerous other details.
