The U.S. switch to the metric system has been led by science and abetted by the country 's institutions, including educational and scientific communities and industry. Many items purchased in the United States are metric, such as cameras, film and prescription drugs.

The Army made what Colonel Mansperger called a "gutsy decision" when it decided the engine and airframe for the new family of light helicopters, the LHX, would be measured in metrics. "Although it will be developed and produced in this century, Army troops will be flying it well into the next century." A cost study was also conducted to determine the economic impact of using metrics for the LHX. Colonel Mansperger said the result came down "well under 1 percent of the total program cost."

This decision may accelerate the transition to metrics throughout the U.S. industry, something that is already occurring within the Department of Defense. Along thoM ISims, for example, DOD recently issued guidance to the military services and defense agencies requiring that the metric system of measurement be used "in all activities, consistent with security, operational, economical, technical, logistical and safety requirements."
