National Imagery Transmission Format (NITFS, or NITF) is a family of standards developed by the U.S. Department of Defense. It's a little difficult to figure out the scope of the standards, unless you are fluent in governmentese. In practice, it seems to be mainly used as a raster graphics file format, apparently for satellite imagery and the like.
