Royal Isselmere-Nieland Ordnance (RINO) is a crown corporation consisting of a series of factories distributed throughout Isselmere-Nieland for the production of military matériel for the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland Defence Forces (UKINDF), such as munitions and propellant, artillery pieces (in conjunction with private firms), small arms, and body armour. Its subsidiary, the Royal Arsenal of Isselmere-Nieland (RAIN), is responsible for designing and testing ship armour for the Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland (RSIN).
RINO is also responsible for the Isselmere-Nieland Ordnance numbers, also known as Logistics numbers, that denote ground or amphibious vehicles (LxxxYY) or ordnance (MXyyyAz).
INO numbers
INO numbers form a sequential classification scheme for ground vehicles, small arms, guns, and ordnance. To a degree, it is duplicated by the Defence Procurement Agency's DPA numbers.
For ground or amphibious vehicles, the numbering scheme begins with L followed by a number. If the same chassis, even heavily modified, is used for other purposes, it is considered to be part of a series, and the variants are given a one or two letter variant code. Self-propelled guns, however, are typically given a new INO number followed by a slash to which the original chassis number is appended. Missile launcher vehicles append the missile launch system number to the chassis number. For example:
L13 wheeled heavy logistics vehicle with GWLS.57L launcher = L13/57
Ordnance numbers begin with M. Next comes the device designator (M for munitions, P for propellant charge, etc.), followed by the sequential number, with modifications denoted by A followed by a number.
Variant code
BT = Battle tank
CT = Command tank
LT = Light tank
