scope:

This specification provides requirements for the preparation and use of the Raster Product Format (RPF) Controlled Image Base (CIB) data. CIB is a dataset of orthophotos, made from rectified grayscale aerial images. CIB supports various weapons, C3I theater battle management, mission planning, digital moving map, terrain analysis, simulation, and intelligence systems. CIB data are produced from digital source images that can be converted to meet the requirements of this CIB specification at one of the registered resolutions defined in MIL-STD-2411-1. CIB data are derived directly from digital images and are compressed and reformatted to conform to the RPF Standard. CIB files are physically formatted within a National Imagery Transmission Format (NITF) message.

The purpose of this document is to specify the data format and characteristics of CIB for producers and users.

This product specification is UNCLASSIFIED.

The CIB product and associated distribution media will be unclassified. If special classified CIB products are required, media containing CIB data shall carry the highest classification and restrictions that are determined from the original source images which remain imbedded in the product. Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any data which may be of use in improving this document should be sent to: Director, Defense Mapping Agency, ATTN: TIJ ST A-10, 8613 Lee Highway, Fairfax, VA 22031-2137 by using the Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) or by letter.
