Standardization Agreement (STANAG) defines processes, procedures, terms, and conditions for common military or technical procedures or equipment between the member countries of the alliance. Each NATO state ratifies a STANAG and implements it within their own military. The purpose is to provide common operational and administrative procedures and logistics, so one member nation's military may use the stores and support of another member's military. STANAGs also form the basis for technical interoperability between a wide variety of communication and information systems (CIS) essential for NATO and Allied operations.
There are several STANAGs like this.
For example some imagery related STANAGs:
STANAG 4545 (Edition 1, Amendment 1, 14 April 2000): NATO Secondary Imagery Format (NSIF)
STANAG 4609 (Edition 1, 23 March 2005): NATO Digital Motion Imagery Standard
STANAG 7023 (Edition 3, 16 September 2004): NATO Primary Image Format (NPIF)
Support for STANAG specifications in FME would be a good break through in the defence and intelligence domain across the globe.
Hope this idea gathers momentum and STANAG is implemented in FME.
