WEBFLIS has been working hard to collect the data from the US Department of Defense as well as NATO and other publishing countries to provide a FREE NSN Lookup Service with advanced features
which have not been available to the general public. WEBFLIS extends the WebFLIS data with pictures of the items, pricing, procurement information, commercial characteristics and additional technical characteristics. The system is published globally in multiple languages with official translations of parameters where possible.
WebFLIS Incorporates much of the public data available from the NATO Master Cross-Reference Library (NMCRL) which is a paid subscription available from NATO. Much of the AC/135 database of NATO is available by Freedom of Information Requests and from the manufacturers of the products themselves allowing WEBFLIS to present this information augmented with pictures, pricing, sourcing information, commercial characteristics and technical characteristics.
The databases provided by WEBFLIS are not simply a re-published version of the MCRL and NMCRL. WEBFLIS has built the database over more than 12 years and the database includes many corrections not implemented by NATO and many many Gigabytes of additional information which NATO do not augment their database with.
