ICSN Reporting Names are reporting names for military equipment from certain countries, most notably Nukigurun and some allied nations. They provide unambiguous and easily understood words in a uniform manner in place of their original designations, which may have been either unknown, unpronounceable, or easily confused with other codes.

To reduce the risk of confusion, unusual or made-up names are primarily used, especially ones that would not typically come up in normal military conversation, thus making them easier to memorize. Broadly, for fixed-wing aircraft, single-syllable names are used for piston or propeller-driven aircraft, while names with two or more syllables are used for jets. ///OOC: If you edit this, please use this paragraph as a guideline for adding names.

The list of reporting names is created and primarily used by the ICSN, but other nations can, have, and do use them for convenience's sake.

Fighter Aircraft
///OOC: As "F" is used for Fighters IRL, "J" is used for Jeontugi (Fighter aircraft). F, and therefore J, is also used for ground-attack planes, light bombers, fighter-bombers, multiroles, and some test aircraft of those types, such as the Yak-141 and the Su-47.

Bomber Aircraft
///OOC: As "B" is used for Bombers IRL, "P" is used for Poggyeoggi (Bomber aircraft).

Cargo Aircraft
///OOC: As "C" is used for Cargo planes IRL, "H" is used for Hwamlugi (Freighter aircraft).

Helicopters
///OOC: As "H" is used for Helicopters IRL, "N" is used for Naseon (Spiral, as reference to the means by which a helicopter flies). Helicopters themselves will probably be called 회익기 (Hui-ikgi, spinning wing machine)

Other aircraft
///OOC: As "M" is used for Miscellaneous IRL, "G" is used for Gagjong. This category includes electronic warfare aircraft, airborne early warning aircraft, tanker aircraft, recon planes, seaplanes, trainers, and aircraft that are neither airplanes nor helicopters - zeppelins, ekranoplans, etc.

Surface-to-Air missiles
///OOC: As "G" is used for Ground-to-air IRL, "Y" is used for Yutodan (Guided missile, or specifically surface-to-air missile).

Air-to-Air missiles
///OOC: As "A" is used for Air-to-air missiles IRL, "S" is used for Seoggung (Crossbow). (I had wanted to simply use "Bow" or "Arrow", but they conflicted with other name plans. Suggestions welcome.)

Air-to-Surface missiles
///OOC: As "K" is used for Kh (the Russian designation for air-to-surface missiles) IRL, "C" is used for Chungcha (Battering ram). (Suggestions welcome for other names/letters to use, remember it cannot conflict with the other name plans.)

Surface-to-Surface missiles
///OOC: As "S" is used for Surface-to-surface IRL, "T" is used for Tuseoggi (Catapult). This category also includes ballistic missiles. (Suggestions welcome for other names/letters to use, remember it cannot conflict with the other name plans.)
