NITFS Standards Compliance and Interoperability
Certification Test & Evaluation Program Plan
   

   
  Overview:
   
  The National Imagery Transmission Format Standard (NITFS) is the standard for the formatting and exchange of digital imagery and imagery-related products between members of the Intelligence Community.  The Intelligence Community is made up of the Department of Defense (DOD) and other departments or agencies of the United States Government as defined by Executive Order 12333.
   
  This Standards Compliance and Interoperability Test and Evaluation Program Plan has been developed by the Defense Information Systems Agency’s (DISA’s) Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) in coordination with the Geospatial and Imagery Standards Management Committee (G/ISMC) based upon current policies, procedures, and guidelines received from the DOD and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA/ST/SES).  The JITC is the responsible organization for execution of the NITFS Testing Program.
   
  The DOD and members of the Intelligence Community are committed to interoperability of systems used for formatting, transmitting, receiving, exchanging, and processing imagery and imagery related information.  This Test and Evaluation Program Plan describes the processes and procedures for obtaining testing of imagery implementations for compliance with the NITFS and for interoperability among systems within the United States Imagery and Geospatial System (USIGS).  It also prescribes NITFS Test and Evaluation Program policies, defines roles and responsibilities of participating organizations, and provides test funding guidance.
   
  The suite of standards which comprises the NITFS has evolved over time to meet the requirements of user systems.  This test program plan addresses the implementation test criteria for the NITFS associated with NITF version 1.1, NITF version 2.0, and NITF version 2.1.
