What is the NITF Data Format?

The National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) is a standard widely used by geospatial analysts in the defense and intelligence communities. The NITF format allows for storage and dissemination of imagery and its associated metadata - or the detailed information about the location, context, content, and structure of the image - in a single file. NITF is crucial to the interoperability of systems within and among defense and intelligence organizations.

ITT Visual Information Solutions developed the NITF for ArcGIS extension for concurrent release with ArcGIS 9.3.
