NATO Supply Class 6615 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments And Laboratory Equipment. Specifically, Class 6615 focuses on Automatic Pilot Mechanisms And Airborne Gyro Components.

Automatic pilot mechanisms are devices used in aircraft to control and maintain the aircraft's attitude, altitude, and course without constant manual input from the pilot. These mechanisms utilize various sensors, actuators, and control systems to automate the aircraft's flight.

Airborne gyro components, on the other hand, are gyroscopic instruments used in aircraft for navigation, stability, and attitude control. Gyroscopes are devices that use the principle of angular momentum to maintain a stable reference point, which is crucial for accurate navigation and control in flight.

NATO Supply Class 6615 includes a wide range of equipment and components related to automatic pilot mechanisms and airborne gyro components. This can include gyroscopes, gyrocompasses, attitude indicators, flight control systems, autopilots, and other related instruments and components.

The purpose of this classification is to provide a standardized system for categorizing and organizing these specific types of instruments and components used in aircraft. This facilitates efficient procurement, logistics, and maintenance processes within NATO member countries.
