This term is often used in the aviation, naval and military sectors, and is the military term for UTC. The time is set at the 0° meridian (zero degrees), which explains the other names given to this term Z-Time or Zero TIme. This code was born from the desire of pilots to communicate by radio, the Z in Z-Time became Zebra and then Zulu when the NATO phonetic alphabet evolved.
